Florida surgeon among new physicians Oconee-bound

A surgeon is leaving one of the wealthiest cities in the country to practice his profession in Oconee County. Dr. David Lamon of Naples, Florida was one of six new doctors being welcomed this week to the Oconee Memorial campus of Prisma Health. The announcement was made by Ben Gecewich, who directs the various physician offices owned by the local hospital. Lamon’s specialty is general surgery. Gecewich said Lamon, after vacationing in Oconee, just loves the community and is further attracted to the area by the fact that one of his daughters is considering enrolling at Clemson.
