About Josh
Dr. Josh Walters is a board-certified psychiatrist who has practiced in the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton area for about twenty years. He earned his medical degree and completed his general psychiatry residency at the Medical University of South Carolina. He sees adolescents through older adults at both the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton offices.
Dr. Walters treats mood disorders, anxiety, and the everyday stressors that accumulate into something more serious: a marriage under strain, a career change, retirement, caregiving, or the loss of a spouse. On Hilton Head, where a large share of residents are over 65, late-life depression and anxiety are a significant part of his work; in Bluffton, he sees more families and working adults.
He pairs medication management with supportive therapy and leads with listening. Patients describe a physician who takes his time, asks good questions, and does not reach for a prescription before he understands the problem. Established patients can use telehealth for follow-up visits anywhere in South Carolina, which suits the Lowcountry's many seasonal residents. The Hilton Head office is in Shelter Cove mid-island, and the Bluffton office is in Sheridan Park off US-278; patients can choose whichever is closer.
