Front Porch Family Medicine opened for business in January 2023. Stephanie Phillips,DO obtained her medical degree at the Via College of Osteopathic Medicine on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia and attended family medicine residency in Anderson, South Carolina at Anmed Health where she completed a global health track and graduated with honors.

Dr. Phillips has been serving our nations heroes at the Department of Veterans Affairs since 2015 in outpatient primary care. She has been Medical Director for two Community Based Outpatient Clinics in Princeton, West Virginia and Athens, Georgia. She has extensive experience caring for children and adolescents, as well as college age adults. Dr. Phillips has Certification in International Medicine and has led and participated in many international mission trips and has also served at the Baptist Hospital in Ghana, Africa.

She and her family relocated to Georgia to take over operation of the family farm in Royston, Georgia in 2020, and she has now opened Front Porch Family Medicine.

Our name is Front Porch Family Medicine and that name encompasses exactly my goal. On the front porch you have nothing but time to cultivate relationships and spend the needed time to care for individuals. I’m excited to see our ongoing growth and so thankful for this care model that gives me the opportunity to practice medicine the way it was intended to be practiced.

When she is not caring for patients, Dr. Phillips loves spending time with her husband, 3 children, her grandchild and her many farm animals. In her spare time she enjoys quilting, knitting, and front porch sitting.
