Matthew Jaenicke, M.D.

Dr. Matthew Jaenicke, M.D., earned his medical degree from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) College of Medicine, graduating in 2015. He subsequently completed his Internal Medicine residency at MUSC in 2018 and his Rheumatology fellowship at the University of Vermont Medical Center in 2020.

Dr. Jaenicke practices in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and joined Carolina Rheumatology and Neurology
Associates in September 2026. He brings advanced specialty training and a commitment to providing
attentive, individualized rheumatologic care to patients throughout the region.

Chronic rheumatic diseases often require long-term relationships between patients and their healthcare
providers. Treatment plans may need to evolve as symptoms change, laboratory results are evaluated, new
therapies become available, or a patient's overall health needs change. An important part of rheumatology care is therefore helping patients understand their condition, participate in decisions about their treatment, and feel confident managing a chronic illness. Dr. Jaenicke's approach
reflects this emphasis on communication, collaboration, and individualized care.

While Dr. Matthew Jaenicke is dedicated to caring for patients with rheumatic and autoimmune diseases,
there is much more to him than medicine.

Outside the office, Dr. Jaenicke enjoys spending time with his dog, Banner, a special companion and trusty
sidekick.

Perhaps one of the more unexpected things patients may be surprised to learn is that Dr. Jaenicke is also the founder of Banner Oak Mushroom Farm in Orangeburg, South Carolina. His interest in mushroom cultivation provides a unique contrast to the clinical environment of rheumatology and reflects his broader appreciation for science, agriculture, nature, and the process of growing something from the ground up.
