SouthernMED Pediatrics

SouthernMED Pediatrics is a leading pediatric primary care practice in South Carolina that was founded in 2008 by Dr. Joseph Delaney and Dr. Kyle Guyton. The practice has expanded from a single office in Lexington to 11 locations across South Carolina, serving 13 counties. The company merged with Sweetgrass Pediatrics in 2024 to form one of the largest pediatric primary care platforms in the country, with combined operations of 90 providers across 17 locations. Many of their practice sites have achieved NCQA recognition as Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMH). The practice offers comprehensive pediatric care from newborns through teenage years, along with specialty services including counseling, lactation services, annual flu clinics, and ear piercing. They emphasize preventative medicine, faith-based values, and building long-term patient relationships. Office hours are Monday through Friday 8am-5pm with extended hours and Saturday appointments available at select locations.
