Get to Know Dr. Ian Bostock
Thoracic surgeon Dr. Ian Bostock joined the specialists at Medical University of South Carolina Department of Surgery in 2021 with a vision for his practice.
“My patient care philosophy is centered on one thing – shared decision making,” Bostock said. “This process allows for each patient to be viewed as an individual and optimizes the creation of a treatment plan that is tailored to meet the needs of each person. I believe medicine should be practiced with compassion, truthfulness and a commitment to excellence.”
Bostock’s training included stints at MD Anderson Cancer Center and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, two of the most heralded facilities in the world for treating mesothelioma, a rare cancer with no definitive cure.
He focuses his practice on lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma and esophageal cancer, along with several benign esophageal diseases. He has expertise in minimally invasive robotic surgery.
Bostock also treats end-stage lung disease as part of the multidisciplinary lung transplant team.
