Scott Pierce

CO-OWNER & CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER

Amy’s husband and fellow co-owner, Scott Pierce, is a Savannah native and has been working in healthcare technology for the past 12 years.

Dr. Sanjay Iyer, MD

Chief Medical Officer

Dr. Pamela Gaudry

Concierge Primary Care Physician

Dr. Pamela Gaudry, MD, NCMP, FACOG, or “Dr. Pam” as she’s affectionately known to her patients, has been practicing in Savannah for 30 years. She completed her residency at The Medical College of Georgia in 1993 and began practicing in Savannah at Memorial Medical Center as one of their physicians. In January 2018, Dr. Pam decided to break away from “Big Healthcare” and opened up her own Direct Primary Care practice which puts the patients first. In this type of practice, the patient must think of healthcare differently – you will be part of her medical family. In this model, the patient employs the physician to be there when they need them – not when it is convenient for the physician to fit the patient in the schedule. This type of medical care has become extremely popular thanks to its focus on the patient experience as well as great care. An advocate of the medical community, Dr. Pam has been a member of the Georgia Medical Society, executive board of the Medical Association of Georgia, and in the inaugural class of the Georgia Physician Leadership Academy. In addition, she has lobbied health issues in Washington, D.C. and at the Georgia State Legislature. A Savannah native, Dr. Pam is a graduate of the University of Georgia, summa cum laude, and completed her residency with the Medical College of Georgia. She is married and has two children (boy-girl twins). She has lived in Savannah, Georgia since 1971. Her intense passions are her Christian faith, reading the Bible, family, gardening, butterflies, golden retrievers, comedy shows, and football. She is a die-hard Georgia Bulldog fan, and on football Saturdays, she can usually be found screaming in the stands of Sanford Stadium in Athens.

Dr. Kelsey Alexander, MD

Board Certified Pediatric Physician

Dr. Kelsey Alexander is a board-certified pediatrician, has more than 12 years of pediatric experience, and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

During her time there, she was awarded the Golden Apple Teaching Award and was given the honor of serving an additional year as Chief Resident of the pediatric residency program. After moving to Savannah in 2015, Dr. Alexander worked at Coastal Pediatrics until starting her own practice in 2022.
