Meet our Clinical Staff

Laarni’s journey with Palmetto Pain Center has been truly special. She first joined us in 2009 as a Medical Assistant and quickly became an important part of our team. After five years in the Lowcountry—and three children later—she and her husband moved out West to be closer to family. We were thrilled when they eventually returned to Beaufort.

During an already busy chapter of her life, Laarni made the bold decision to return to school. She earned her RN degree through MUSC on a competitive scholarship, a testament to her drive and talent. I had always told her I’d bring her back to PPC one day, and in 2025, that promise came full circle.

We are incredibly lucky she chose to rejoin us. Laarni now works primarily in the fluoroscopy suite with Dr. Eller, where her clinical skill as an RN is exceptional. Her calm, gentle presence is equally valuable—especially for patients who arrive feeling anxious.

Welcome home, Laarni. We’re fortunate to have you on our team again.
