What We Do
As an independent practice, the difference is personal. The physicians of Tryon Medical Partners joined forces because we share a core belief: the patient-doctor connection is the foundation for better health. This is the reason we are an independent practice. It allows us to remain true to our principles, while delivering better care rooted in stronger relationships. What are the benefits of choosing an independent practice? Value – We are able to practice medicine and conduct business nimbly and efficiently, with fewer layers of bureaucracy in our way – or our patients’. Transparency – As a leaner organization, we are in direct contact with our patients and partners. Keeping it personal means serving with integrity and accountability. Choice – In the changing world of healthcare, consolidation has become the new normal, and options are shrinking. We created an independent practice because we believe more choices should be available to everyone. Better health comes from having more than a healthcare provider. It takes a healthcare partner.
