The Surgical Clinic at Mid-South Surgeons in Columbia, Tennessee, was originally founded in 1990 by Dr. James Richardson, a Board Certified General Surgeon and Board Certified Vascular Surgeon, with a goal of treating Columbia area patients with dignity and compassionate care.
Today, The Surgical Clinic at Mid-South Surgeons is a practice with five Board Certified Surgeons specializing in General Surgery and Vascular Surgery, still committed to providing a comfortable and compassionate location for patients in need of a wide range of surgical procedures.
Our onsite Vascular Procedure Lab is dedicated to providing patients with non-invasive ultrasound diagnostic care. Our services are conducted by staff with Registered Venous Technology training. The Vascular Lab is available to our own patients for a number of diagnostic tests, but to individuals (with or without a physician referral) who have concerns and want to check for carotid stenosis, aortic aneurysms, and extremity blood flow.

General Surgical Practice vs. Vascular Surgical Practice
What is General Surgery Practice?
Since General Surgeons must become competent in a large number of types of surgeries, most Internships or Residencies will take place in large metropolitan cities with large hospitals.
Once a General Surgery Internship is completed, some surgeons, as they have at The Surgical Clinic at Mid-South Surgeons, will add an additional study in order to become Vascular Surgeons (an additional two years of Fellowship) or Breast Surgeons (an additional one year of Fellowship) or Surgeons proficient in Minimally Invasive Surgery (an additional one year of Fellowship).
What is a Vascular Surgical Practice?
Sagging veins can become painful and they can even become dangerous for patients. The good news is that Vascular Surgeons can help most people eliminate the saggy veins. And, with today’s technology, many times the surgery can be done in an outpatient setting.
