Dr. Greg Ayers leads a state-of-the-art facility and team of professionals at two locations (Old Boiling Springs Rd., just off Pelham Road in Greenville; and the River Falls location on Highway 290 in Spartanburg county).
THE ORTHOPEDIC CENTER OF THE CAROLINAS (located at 1 Memorial Medical Drive in Greenville) will enter their first season with the Grrrowl, and will handle all orthopedic related injuries. The practice is headed by Dr. William DeVault, and features an in-house physical therapy program headed by former Atlanta Brave (MLB) and Greenville Brave, Marty Clary.
