With more than 20 years of experience, Stephen Gibert, MD, delivers effective, compassionate care to the residents of West Ashley, James Island, Summerville, Mt. Pleasant, Isle of Palms and, North Charleston, Kiawah, Hollywood, Ravenel, Goose Creek, Awendaw, McClellanville and many more surrounding communities of Charleston, South Carolina.
Dr. Gibert has been interested in pain management since he began his medical training. As somebody who has suffered from chronic back pain and had surgery for a ruptured disc, Dr. Gibert truly understands what his patients go through on a daily basis.
After a first career as a math professor, he earned his medical doctorate. Dr. Gibert first attended George’s University School of Medicine in Grenada and graduated with honors from Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, Georgia, in 1997. Dr. Gibert completed an anesthesiology residency in 2001 and a pain management fellowship in 2002.
Dr. Gibert knows the toll that chronic pain can take on patients, both physically and emotionally. Many people suffering from chronic pain turn to opioids to manage their symptoms, but these medications can be dangerous and addictive.
While opioids may be necessary in treating pain when there are no other options, Dr. Gibert always works to minimize their use as much as possible. Dr. Gibert creates treatment plans for his chronic pain patients that emphasize non-opioid treatment when possible, and may include interventional treatment, like trigger point injections, nerve blocks, joint injections, and nutrition counseling, lifestyle modifications, lidocaine infusions, and ketamine infusion therapy in addition to opioid management.
In recent years Dr. Gibert has also been committed to treating opioid addiction. He believes that our current “opioid crisis” must be addressed, and having had years of experience with management of opioids in pain patients, he believes that it is his duty to apply the knowledge he has gained to help solve that problem in the wider group of non-pain patients who have become addicted to opioids. His focus is on harm reduction, and he believes that mutual respect and compassion are the foundation of the doctor-patient relationship.
Dr. Gibert lives in Charleston, the city he loves and calls home.
Dr. Gibert is a descendant of South Carolina Huguenots, who arrived in Charleston when it was still called Charlestowne. In his free time, he plays the guitar and sometimes the ukulele, and still studies physics and mathematics as an amateur.
Jeffrey Farricielli, MD, ABPMR, is a regenerative medicine specialist at The Center for Regenerative Medicine in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. He offers his patients cell-based treatments for common orthopedic injuries and degenerative joint conditions.
Dr. Farricielli is a graduate of Saba University School of Medicine. He trained in internal medicine at the University of Florida Shands Hospital and in physical medicine as well as rehabilitation at the University of Texas Southwestern School of Medicine, Parkland Hospital.
After graduating from chiropractic school in Los Angeles, California, Dr. Farricielli worked in Italy as a chiropractor for four years. When he returned to the United States, he created Beverly Hills Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center in Beverly Hills, California. The center combined functional medicine, yoga, massage, Pilates, diet, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, and physical therapy in a unique setting. It became the largest and most respected of its kind in the city. This experience has had a profound effect on the way he thinks and practices medicine today.
As an interventional pain physician, Dr. Farricielli has performed over 3000 procedures on the spine and peripheral joints. These treatments include radio-frequency neurotomy, spinal cord stimulator trials, epidural and facet injections for neck and back pain. He utilizes BOTOX® for neurological conditions such as cervical dystonia, stroke spasticity, facial spasms, and chronic migraine.
Dr. Farricielli is board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation; he is also a fellow of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Dr. Farricielli is a member of the South Carolina branch of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians and the American Association of Orthopedic Medicine.

Dr. Nemeth grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan in Northwest Indiana. He graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Biomedical Engineering. From there, he attended medical school at St. Matthew's University on Grand Cayman. Dr. Nemeth completed a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residency at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital in Wheaton, Illinois. It was there that he developed an interest in spine care and in performing interventional spinal procedures. He went on to complete an Interventional Spine Fellowship in Phoenix, Arizona at The Orthopedic Clinic Association (TOCA).
Dr. Nemeth is a board-certified physiatrist who has been trained to become an expert in the field of spine care and to master interventional techniques throughout the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. Dr. Nemeth founded Signe Spine & Rehab, LLC in October 2014.
