FemaleAbout Ashekia Pinckney
Dr. Pinckney's journey into medicine began with a childhood dream inspired by her pediatrician, Dr. Flowers, an African American female who left a lasting impression on her. Raised right here in this community - Darlington, SC to be exact - Pinckney witnessed the healthcare disparities in her community, fueling her determination to become a physician.
She pursued her medical education at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, where her fascination with women's health deepened. Following medical school, Pinckney completed her residency at the University of Tennessee in Memphis, TN, honing her skills in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Driven by her passion for women's health, Pinckney chose her specialty because she viewed it as “a beautiful combination of primary care and surgery.” She also strongly believes in the importance of educating women, recognizing that when you educate a woman, you educate an entire family.
Dr. Pinckney is committed to building strong patient relationships grounded in honesty, clarity, and trust. She empowers her patients with knowledge and understanding, encouraging them to take an active role in their healthcare decisions.
With a practice philosophy focused on patient-centered care, her professional interests include adolescent care, contraception, abnormal uterine bleeding, and fibroid surgery.
Outside of medicine, Pickney enjoys cooking, shopping, and spending time with her family. As a proud native of Darlington, she appreciates the sense of community in Hartsville and looks forward to serving the women of Carolina Pines Medical Group, building lasting connections, and leaving a positive impact on their lives.

Pinckney is an overall amazing doctor! She took the time to make me feel comfortable and understood during my entire pregnancy journey! Not once did I feel like a burden or like I wasnt being heard! She helped make this experience wonderful and I could have asked for a better doctor and care team! She definitely enjoys her job and goes above and beyond for her patients!

She always listens to all I have to say and explain to her, but her bedside manner and empathy for her patients wellbeing speaks volumes to me. She calmly listens, takes the time to ask further questions and explains things to you that are easy to understand and then gives you enough time to ask further follow up questions as well and makes you feel comforted.

Dr Pinckney immediately made me feel comfortable. She listened to all of my concerns, gave me feedback on what she felt like the issue was and offered a detailed treatment plan. She answered all of my questions . I was at ease talking to her throughout the whole visit. I have been looking for a gynecologist to set up long term care and I am happy to say that I have found her .

She has been the first to throughly and accurately explain things to me. She made sure I understood and explained things to me not only with the correct medical terminology but also in plain jargon which I appreciated immensely.

Dr Pinckney is very informative and she listened to my concerns and suggested alternatives if I couldn't get the medicine I wanted. Her advice is merely advice, not pushy.
