The best compliment our patients pay us is with referrals of their friends and family. Here is what patients — and the professionals who refer to Coastal Medical Clinic — have to say.
MEET YOUR PHYSICIAN
Allen Smolenski, M.D.
Dr. Smolenski founded Coastal Medical Clinic in 2009 after his own health transformation — losing nearly 60 pounds, then placing third in a national natural bodybuilding contest at age 44. His patients travel from as far as Virginia for help with hormone balance, nutritional deficiencies and age-related illness.

Meet Dr. Smolenski →“Dr. Smolenski has helped me to feel better, to become leaner, and to become a more confident man through his thorough and individualized care. He is a brilliant doctor, and spends time talking about how I feel, not just concentrating on the lab results. We work together to optimize my health, and I am so blessed to have him in my corner... Thank you, Doctor Smo!”
— Mike G., Virginia Beach, VA
Patients who travel to be here
Coastal Medical Clinic has patients from a wide variety of backgrounds. Not only does Dr. Smolenski treat physicians, nurses, attorneys, executives, local business owners and other professionals — he also works with those who have language barriers and other obstacles that often prevent access to traditional medical care.
While most of our patients live in the Surfside Beach, SC area, patients come to us from all areas of South Carolina and the United States, including Virginia, Georgia, Florida and Ohio.
And Dr. Smolenski takes his own advice — he walks the walk. His transformation story and his results at the NPC Natural Northern USA Bodybuilding Championships are told on the Meet Dr. Smolenski page.
Heidi's story — Pawleys Island, SC
“Thanks to Dr. Allen I feel 21 again and have my life back! For over 20 years I have suffered with incredible headaches. 24 hours a day, I would work and live with headaches. Day and night I would have to take some kind of pill to help ease the pain. Dr. Allen changed my life for good once he started me on my hormone regimen. My headaches completely disappeared and now I am off all pain medications... I had no idea life at 46 could be so YOUNG!!!! My whole family is grateful!!”
