AFC PriMed , located in Greenville at 101 Paul Stabler Dr ., is open seven days a week from 8 a . m . to 8 p . m . daily . That means , for example , the sprained ankle from an athlete ’ s Saturday soccer game or that case of stomach flu that hits on Sunday can be treated by AFC ’ s three nurse practitioners and one boardcertified primary care physician who are always on staff . If more advanced

AFC PriMed offers primary care , urgent care , minor emergency treatment and occupational medicine services to its patients . It also offers the convenience of on-site labs along with the latest medical technology , including digital x-rays and electronic medical records .

Among those specialty practices in the Camellia City are pediatrics , optometry , podiatry , general and cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics , chiropractic care , physical and occupational therapy , home health services and hospice care , dialysis , pharmacies , and much more . While some smaller communities in the state have few options for their primary , urgent or acute healthcare needs , Greenville prides itself on the quality and variety of medical facilities , practitioners and services available to its citizens .
