David B. Everman, MD

Associate Clinical Geneticist – Greenville Office

Dr. Everman is a clinical geneticist located in the Greenville office of the GGC. The majority of his time is devoted to the diagnostic evaluation and care of patients with known or suspected genetic conditions. He is also involved in clinical and basic science research on the genetic basis of human limb malformations, and in the supervision and education of medical genetics residents, pediatric residents, genetic counseling students, and medical students. Dr. Everman has a special interest in split-hand/foot malformations, Proteus syndrome and other overgrowth disorders. He is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics (1996, recertified 2003) and the American Board of Medical Genetics (1999, recertified 2010).
