Dr. Susan Bane is a 1987 graduate of Atlantic Christian College, now Barton College.  She practiced obstetrics and gynecology in Greenville for 10 years at Greenville Obstetrics and Gynecology, a division of Physician’s East.  In addition to her medical practice, she served as a clinical professor at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University.  She now serves as an associate professor in the Department of Physical Education, Sport Studies, and Gerontology and is a physician at her alma mater, Barton.

A native of Currituck County, North Carolina, Bane graduated summa cum laude in 1987 with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry.  While at Barton, she was on the tennis team and named to the Academic All-American Team both her junior and senior year.  She completed a Ph.D. in kinesiology from the University of Illinois in 1995.  She earned her medical degree from the University of Illinois in 1997 and completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology in the Brody School of Medicine in 2001.

Bane is involved in a variety of community service programs.  She serves as a volunteer coach and has developed sportsmanship programs for area athletics organizations.  Because her son, Maxwell, has autism, Bane has become an advocate for autism awareness. One of her great pleasures is writing a monthly health column in the local Her Magazine.

Dr. Bane is married to her husband, Art, and has three children: Archer, Riley, and Maxwell. She considers her family her greatest accomplishment.
