Dr. Gleaton, From the moment we lost our first child, i knew that if we had the opportunity to carry to term and deliver our rainbow baby, you would play a very special role in that child’s life. You literally helped usher me into discovering my strength during my journey. I specifically remember on several occasions, when I felt down and occasionally weak in my faith, you brought me the exact word that I needed to restore hope and uplift me. I pray you recognize how much of an inspiration you are.

"The Epic Experience"
Dr. Gleaton is the best obgyn i have ever seen! For as long as i can remember ive never left any sort of drs office feeling so inspired, motivated, and like all my questions were answered. She really took the time to get to know me and educate me on some of the issues im having while trying to concieve. Ive always fallen under the over weight category, and in the past ive left drs offices feeling embarrassed but not here! She only mentioned my weight when discussing how to up our odds, and when i told her i had lost 27 lbs since february she high five me and told me how awesome it was. I need to lose 32 more to try a medicine in January if we dont concieve by then and when i told her how its hard , she went on to motivate me by saying that our minds are very powerful things and that i can do it! She had high hopes that we would concieve before then though! When i brought up a miscarriage i had 6 months ago, she showed more sympathy than the dr whom i was seeing while that was going on.
I left today feeling like i not only found an amazing sweet dr, but that i just left from meeting a new friend! She was so pleasant to be around and is just a phenomenal doctor and person! I cant wait to see what the future holds with her as my new obgyn for LIFE!

"The Epic Experience"
Dr. Gleaton took me on as a patient 24 weeks into my pregnancy, which I really appreciated. She and her staff provided excellent care, were very caring, personable, and seemed to keep up-to-date on the research. Dr. Gleaton was also very open-minded and supportive about the unique circumstances of my child’s birth. On a few occasions I saw other providers in her office, and the other providers were great as well, but Dr. Gleaton is definitely my favorite.

Our Experts We Truly Love What We Do
From your first visit to every follow-up, our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care with compassion, precision, and heart. At The EpiCentre OB/GYN Practice, we take pride in offering a full spectrum of women’s health services - delivered in a timely, personalized, and welcoming environment. We’re more than a team; we’re a family, and we’re honored to care for the women of Charleston every day.
Revered for her willingness to listen and praised for the love and concern she shows patients, Board Certified OB/GYN, Dr. Kenosha Gleaton, has passionately served the Carolinas for well over a decade. Her patients not only appreciate her in-depth knowledge and medical experience, they sing her praises. “She listens intently,” says one, and “You can tell she loves people,” says another. Dr. Gleaton, founder of The EpiCentre, values excellence and places top priority on her patients.
“My goal is to connect with women in such a way that they forget they’re conversing with their ob/gyn. To listen, to care, to anticipate needs in a manner that fosters transparency, and cultivates a doctor-patient relationship that is unmatched.” says Dr. Gleaton.
Dr. Gleaton is passionate about group prenatal care (Centering), lactation, adolescent gynecology, and minimally invasive surgery. She also enjoys using multicultural strategies to improve patient care— a skill learned abroad in South Africa and Costa Rica. She explains “Women’s care is complex, yet customizable. It’s a delicate balance where physical, mental, and spiritual needs must be addressed. That’s what our patients deserve.”
She not only serves her patients, but she serves the professional medical community at large. She is a member of the Charleston Medical Society, the American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology, and is the Immediate past president of the Charleston Medical, Dental, and Pharmaceutical Association. For several years, she served on MUSC’s Committee of Diversity and Inclusion, and was the Physician Champion for Roper St. Francis’ baby friendly initiative. In addition, she serves on the Roper St Francis Foundation Board, engaging community supporters to fund the RSF mission to heal all people with compassion, faith, and excellence. In 2020, she was named the medical director of Natalist, a company helping women achieve and navigate pregnancy. Most recently, she became the Vice Chair of the Department of OB/GYN at Roper Berkeley Hospital.
Recently named a “Healthcare Hero” by the Charleston Regional Business Journal, Dr. Gleaton doesn’t see herself as a hero, but rather a patient advocate. “It truly is a privilege to serve my patients. When they walk through the doors of The EpiCentre, I want them to immediately feel like they matter— like they are a priority, and that I’m honored to be their doctor. That’s the heart of my practice.”

Comprehensive Fibroid Diagnosis & Treatment
Relief begins with understanding your symptoms.
Uterine fibroids can affect your comfort, menstrual cycles, and daily life in different ways for every woman. Whether you are experiencing heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, or concerns related to fertility, our team takes the time to listen and understand how fibroids may be impacting your health.
At The EpiCentre, we focus on accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment options. Our goal is to relieve symptoms, improve your quality of life, and provide a clear path forward through compassionate, patient-centered care.
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that commonly develop during a woman’s childbearing years. While many women have fibroids without experiencing symptoms, they are sometimes discovered during routine pelvic exams or prenatal ultrasounds.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, we encourage you to schedule an evaluation with our team:
Bleeding or spotting between periods
Persistent pelvic pain or pressure
Unexplained anemia (low red blood cell count)
Painful or prolonged menstrual periods

Compassionate Endometriosis Management
When your pain is real, you deserve answers.
Endometriosis can be complex, frustrating, and too often overlooked. At The EpiCentre, we take your symptoms seriously and believe that listening is an essential part of effective care. Understanding your experience allows us to provide the thoughtful support and guidance you deserve.
Our approach focuses on accurate evaluation, symptom relief, and long-term management, with treatment plans tailored to your individual needs, lifestyle, and health goals.
Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.

With compassionate care and ongoing support, our team works closely with you to help manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.
