The physicians of Parkwood Pediatric Group announced today that Christine Canivan, MD has joined their practice. Doctor Canivan, a pediatrician with more than 14 years of experience, has been caring for patients in the practice’s Daniel Island and West Ashley office since April 9, 2012.
Dr. Canivan, who has lived in Charleston since the age of eight, earned her undergraduate degree from College of Charleston and her medical degree from Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).

Dr. Canivan has a passion for interior design and enjoys spending time with her family — Owen, 5; Rose, 3 and husband Greg, who is an engineer, drummer and avid boater.
“With two young children of my own, I often have the opportunity to talk with other parents about their choices for pediatric care, and I have found that the excellent reputation of Parkwood Pediatric Group precedes them,” said Christine Canivan, MD. “I’m thrilled to be part of a group that is so well respected by their patients and honored to be given the opportunity to join this close knit team who works so incredibly well together.”
