Medical Assistant Intern – SouthPark Primary Care

At Tryon Medical Partners, we believe in the power of personal connections.

Our physicians united because we share one fundamental belief: the patient-doctor relationship is key to achieving better health. As an independent practice, we are able to stay true to this principle while offering superior care built on trust and strong relationships.

Why choose an independent practice?

• Value – We operate with greater efficiency, free from the layers of bureaucracy that often hinder larger organizations, which benefits both us and our patients.

• Transparency – As a smaller, leaner practice, we maintain direct contact with our patients and partners. This approach allows us to serve with integrity and accountability.

• Choice – In today’s healthcare landscape, many options are disappearing due to consolidation. We believe everyone deserves more choices in their care, which is why we’ve chosen to remain independent. We aim to be more than just a healthcare provider – we’re a dedicated healthcare partner.
