Local practices for everyday appointments, plus regional options for pediatric specialty care, cancer treatment and veterans’ healthcare.
Travelers Rest has options for primary care, pediatrics, dentistry, orthodontics and urgent care, along with an emergency department at Prisma Health North Greenville Hospital.
For more specialized services, Greenville adds hospital campuses, cancer centers and children’s specialty care. Veterans also have a Greenville VA outpatient clinic, with VA medical centers elsewhere in the region.
Here are specific practices and facilities to include in your research. These are examples of available services, rather than a ranking or a complete provider directory. Insurance participation and new-patient availability must be confirmed with each office.
Primary Care in Travelers Rest
Prisma Health Travelers Rest Family Medicine
9 McElhaney Road, Travelers Rest
Prisma Health Travelers Rest Family Medicine provides a local option for primary care.
Contact the practice about establishing care, the ages its clinicians serve and appointment availability. If you need ongoing management of an existing condition, ask whether the clinician can provide that care or coordinate with your specialist.
Pediatricians in Travelers Rest
Parkside Pediatrics
6527 State Park Road, Travelers Rest
864-272-0388
Parkside Pediatrics has a Travelers Rest office, giving families an in-town pediatric practice to consider.
Parkside also has other Upstate locations. Its published information identifies evening and Saturday services at its Verdae office, so after-hours care may involve a different location from your regular appointment.
Prisma Health Pediatrics – Travelers Rest
Prisma’s provider directory also lists Prisma Health Pediatrics – Travelers Rest.
Use the official pediatric provider directory to review clinicians and current practice information.
For either practice, confirm whether the provider is accepting new patients and how sick visits, weekend questions and after-hours calls are handled.
Dentists in Travelers Rest
Carolina Oaks Dental Care
23 South Main Street, Travelers Rest
864-836-8416
Carolina Oaks Dental Care offers general dental care in downtown Travelers Rest. Its services include routine dental appointments and other restorative and cosmetic treatment options.
Ask about the ages treated, your dental insurance and whether a particular procedure is performed in the office.
The Dental Retreat
125 Botanical Circle, Travelers Rest
The Dental Retreat is another local dental practice to include in your search.
Having more than one practice in town gives you options for comparing services, appointment availability and coverage without assuming every dental visit requires a trip into Greenville.
Orthodontists in Travelers Rest
Hunt Orthodontics
6708 State Park Road, Travelers Rest
864-268-2800
Hunt Orthodontics has a Travelers Rest office in addition to its Greenville locations.
If you or your child needs orthodontic treatment, ask about treatment options, consultation arrangements and which office would handle recurring appointments. A practice with several locations may have different appointment days at each.
Urgent Care Close to Home
Prisma Health Urgent Care–Travelers Rest, on Roe Center Court, provides walk-in care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries.
Its published services include digital X-rays, lab testing and EKGs. The location also offers an online option to reserve a place in line.
Visit the official urgent care page for current services and access information.
Urgent care is different from an emergency department. For a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Emergency Care Nearby
Yes. Prisma Health North Greenville Hospital, at 807 North Main Street, has an emergency department.
The department reopened in March 2023. Older online articles still describe its earlier closure, which can make searches confusing.
The hospital’s presence does not mean every specialty or inpatient service is available there. Use the current hospital page for facility information.
Greenville Hospitals Worth Knowing
Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital
701 Grove Road, Greenville
Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital, often called GMH, is a major hospital campus with emergency and specialty services.
Appointments associated with the campus may take place in the hospital or a separate medical-office building.
Bon Secours St. Francis Downtown
1 St. Francis Drive, Greenville
Bon Secours St. Francis Downtown is another Greenville hospital with emergency and hospital-based services.
Bon Secours also has other facilities around the region, so confirm the named campus when scheduling care.
Pediatric Specialty Care
Shriners Children’s Greenville
950 West Faris Road, Greenville
Shriners Children’s Greenville specializes in pediatric orthopedic care. It is a resource for children with conditions affecting bones, joints, muscles and movement.
This is specialty care rather than a replacement for a child’s regular pediatrician. Families can contact the facility about its services and appointment process.
Prisma Health Children’s Services
The Greenville Memorial area also includes Prisma Health pediatric specialty practices.
One example is Prisma Health Pediatric Hematology/Oncology – Faris Road, at 900 West Faris Road, Floor 2, which provides care for children with blood disorders and cancer.
Use Prisma’s pediatric specialty directory to locate the appropriate service and referral information.
Cancer Care for Adults
Prisma Health Cancer Institute – Faris
900 West Faris Road, Greenville
Prisma Health Cancer Institute has a Faris Road location near the Greenville Memorial campus.
The appointment location depends on the specialist, treatment and service involved.
Bon Secours St. Francis Cancer Center
104 Innovation Drive, Greenville
St. Francis Cancer Center is an outpatient cancer facility. Bon Secours Hematology & Oncology is also listed at this address.
This is a separate destination from St. Francis Downtown, an important distinction for recurring appointments.
VA Care for Veterans

Lance Corporal Dana Cornell Darnell VA Clinic
41 Park Creek Drive, Greenville
The Greenville VA clinic provides primary care and specialty outpatient services. Its published offerings include mental health care, dentistry, optometry, physical therapy, audiology and pharmacy services.

Charles George VA Medical Center
1100 Tunnel Road, Asheville, North Carolina
Charles George VA Medical Center is a regional VA medical center with hospital and specialty services.
Do not assume that living near Travelers Rest automatically directs all VA care to Asheville. Veterans should confirm their care arrangements and referrals with the VA.

Insurance and New-Patient Availability
A local office listing establishes where a practice operates, not whether it participates in your particular plan or has an immediate opening.
Confirm the clinician and facility with both the office and your insurer. For specialty treatment, ask about referral and authorization requirements.
The same applies to dental, orthodontic and VA services, which have their own coverage and eligibility arrangements.
