About
Dr. Phillip Edmonds grew up in Spartanburg County and has spent his entire life in Upstate South Carolina. He traces his calling to medicine back to age 10, when a quiet but steady pull toward caring for people took hold. That pull has never left him. Over a long career spanning private and hospital-owned systems, Dr. Edmonds accumulated more than 130,000 patient visits. He holds board certification in family medicine and the distinction of Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Patients consistently note the energy he brings into the exam room alongside a steady, thoughtful presence. He combines deep clinical experience with a sharp ear for detail, crafting care plans tailored to the individual in front of him. He believes in handcrafted, custom care where individual choice guides every decision. That belief led him to co-found Radiance Healthcare with Matthew Carter, PA-C, building a practice focused on time, trust, and transparency. Outside medicine, Dr. Edmonds is a proud father of three. He remains married to his high school sweetheart, Susan, and finds joy in South Carolina's mountains, lakes, coast, and above all, its people.
