Medical Practices Announce Move to Verdae Parkside Pediatrics, Palmetto Family Orthodontics and Upstate Pediatrics will locate in master-planned community SHERRY JACKSON | STAFF
sjackson@communityjournals.com Construction is already underway at the corner of Rocky Slope Road and Verdae Boulevard for three medical practices that will be locating to the 1,100-acre master-planned community of Verdae. The practices – Parkside Pediatrics, Palmetto Family Orthodontics and Upstate Pediatric Dentistry – will be located in three separate buildings. “The new medical office facilities are at the epicenter of development and will be a great complement to the area,” stated Rick Sumerel, president and CEO of Verdae Development. “We are excited that Parkside Pediatrics, Palmetto Family Orthodontics and Upstate Pediatrics have chosen to locate their esteemed practices to Verdae.” Upstate Pediatric Dentistry, which provides dental services to patients ranging in age from newborn to late teens, will be relocating from its current office at 105 Halton Road in Greenville. The practice has been at the Halton Road location for six years. Dr. Brian Jones says that also, beginning in July, Dr. Caroline Branchal will join the staff of 12 as a second, full-time provider. Parkside Pediatrics, which will have the middle and largest of the three new buildings, will be keeping its current location at 211 Batesville Road in Simpsonville and expanding to Verdae with a new second location that will be a “larger facility with more services.” The eightyear-old practice currently has 12 providers with two more coming on board in the summer and a staff of more than 55. Parkside is privately owned by three pediatricians, Dr. Justin Moll, Dr. Stephen Jones and Dr. Scott Dobson, who were friends during
their residency in Greenville. Their dream of expanding their vision is being realized with the new Verdae location, they said. “Parkside will be able to serve families with more space and offering more services including X-rays, classes and specialized programs.” Palmetto Family Orthodontics has also been in practice for seven years and will be moving from Halton Village Circle in Greenville to its new Verdae building. The practice’s Cherrydale and Spartanburg locations will remain. Dr. Rush-Baker Caldwell and Dr. David “Trecy” Watson are brothersin-law who grew up in the Gower neighborhood. They started the practice from the ground up in June 2007 and have had a desire to practice in Verdae since they met with Rick Sumerel in May 2006. The Verdae location will be more convenient, a larger space and offer more services for their clients. Each building will have its own parking and will meet the Verdae development standards. Construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.
