Wellspring Family Medicine developed out of the vision of Dr. Damon Daniels to create a primary care practice with an emphasis on the healthcare needs of families in the Columbia area.
The mission of the practices is to provide the highest quality healthcare in a compassionate manner with an emphasis on the whole person. It is based on a model he created during his work in academic medicine at the University of South Carolina Department of Family of Medicine.
