Meet the experienced and friendly doctors and staff who make Inlet Eye Associates a proud provider of vision care products and services in Murrells Inlet.
Joseph Ledford, O.D.
Born in Columbia, SC when his family was stationed at Fort Jackson, Dr. Ledford moved around a good bit while growing up with his five siblings. Upon graduating high school, Dr. Ledford returned to his birthplace to attend the University of South Carolina, before then moving to Chicago for Optometry School. After graduating, Dr. Ledford did a residency in Advanced Ocular Disease at OMNI Eye Services of New York/New Jersey, and stayed on as an associate before moving to the grand strand in the summer of 2011, and ultimately opening Inlet Eye Associates in January 2020. In his free time, Dr. Ledford loves to travel, play with his pets, spend time with his family, try exotic foods, and experience everything life has to offer.
Dr. Ledford has been awarded the Distinguished Service Award for ‘Unusually significant contributions and outstanding achievements contributing to the advancement of Optometry’.
