Hailing from Sumter, South Carolina, Dr. Catoe graduated from Charleston Southern University in South Carolina with his undergraduate degree in athletic training.

Dr. Catoe wants his patients to be well-versed in their decision-making process in order to understand their care options to allow them the ability to choose the treatment that works best for them. His goal is always to provide the highest level of care in an efficient and effective manner. He also enjoys being around athletics of all types, treating athletic-related injuries, and being a part of the solution and return to play for athletes who sustain injuries.

Since childhood, Dr. Catoe has enjoyed what the Grand Strand has to offer, and he and his growing family are proud to now call it home. In his spare time, he likes salt and freshwater fishing as well as playing golf. He is also interested in rebuilding classic automobiles and has always loved the Run to the Sun Car and Truck Show in Myrtle Beach.
