• Multiple locations. One on Mills Avenue near Greenville Memorial Hospital and another at Maxwell Pointe, located on the east side of Woodruff Road.
• Separate sick- and well-child areas. Both office locations feature separate entrances, waiting areas, and patient rooms to keep sick and well patients apart as much as possible.
• On-site laboratory. Having these services in-house allows the physicians to receive the results quickly, which in turn allows them to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the best course of treatment for your child.
• Availability seven days a week. A provider from Prisma Health Pediatrics is on call seven days a week. In addition, we schedule same-day sick emergency visits and have appointments Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., with one rotating location remaining open until 6:30 p.m., Monday–Thursday. Our physicians are available Saturday mornings for urgent and emergent visits.
• Phone-a-nurse service. Each day, specific nurses are designated to answer parents’ calls. As a result, your call will be returned promptly, and if your child has something for which a medical protocol is in place (such as pink eye), a prescription can be called in without your needing to bring your child to the office for a visit. If the nurse and parent determine your child needs to see a physician, we will schedule a visit for the same day.
• After-hours pediatric nurse triage. Should your child become sick or injured after hours, call either practice location and speak to an on-call physician or a Children’s Hospital emergency pediatric nurse. This phone consultation is offered as a complimentary service to our patients.
  • Depending on the situation, the nurse can:
    • Offer recommendations for parents treating the child at home.
    • Ask the parent to contact the office staff the next day to schedule a visit.
    • Request the parent bring the child to the Children’s Emergency Center at Greenville Memorial Hospital.
    • Page the physician on call.
• Prenatal consultations. During your pregnancy or before adopting a child, you may schedule a complimentary 15–20 minute consultation with a pediatrician. We recommend scheduling this visit during the second trimester. Please note that the prenatal visit is not required for you to choose us as your pediatrician upon delivery.

This standard from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) assesses whether clinicians and practices support the delivery of high-quality care and are built on evidence-based, nationally recognized clinical standards of care.
