The Surgical Clinic

What The Surgical Clinic does

The Surgical Clinic (TSC) is a private, multi-specialty surgical group practice headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, operating across 17+ clinic locations in Middle Tennessee. Founded in 2005, the practice delivers surgical and procedural care across 12+ specialty divisions, including bariatric surgery, breast surgery, general surgery, surgical oncology, vascular surgery, plastic surgery, podiatry, prosthetics, imaging, GERD treatment, HPB (hepato-pancreato-biliary) surgery, vascular screening, and wound care. The clinic retains multiple acquired legacy brands as sub-divisions — Nashville Bariatrics, The Lett Center, Vein Centre, Mid-South Surgeons, Garza Plastic Surgery, and Foot & Ankle Specialists of Nashville — and operates dedicated outpatient Vascular Procedure Centers, the Tennessee Surgery Center (an ambulatory surgery center), and TSC Rutherford, which serves the Murfreesboro/Smyrna corridor.

The underlying technology stack is conventional healthcare-IT: an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system with secure physician-to-physician (P2P) referral integration, a patient portal for records, billing, and appointment access, and an online referral submission system (tsc.preferral.com). There are no disclosed proprietary technology platforms, AI/ML systems, or differentiated software products.

The business model is a professional services practice: revenue is generated through surgical procedures, office consultations, and diagnostic/imaging services billed to patients and third-party insurance payers, with the practice performing insurance verification and communicating patient cost estimates upfront. Go-to-market is primarily referral-driven — physician referrals via online forms, fax, and EMR-to-EMR transfers — supplemented by self-referrals and brand awareness built through 20+ years of regional presence, social media channels, and a patient education blog. TSC operates as part of the OneOncology network, affiliated with Tennessee Oncology, which provides integrated practice management support; ownership structure details (physician-owned versus other) are not publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• United Surgical Partners International (USPI): Tenet Healthcare-owned ambulatory surgery center and surgical hospital operator running 400+ facilities. Highly comparable to TSC as a multi-specialty outpatient surgical platform, though national in scale and ASC-focused rather than physician-office focused.
• Surgery Partners: Nationally scaled short-stay surgical facility operator (130+ locations) with strong ASC and surgical hospital portfolio. Comparable to TSC's broader platform of multi-specialty outpatient surgery, though at significantly larger scale and with greater payer leverage.
• HCA Healthcare: Largest U.S. for-profit hospital operator with significant Nashville footprint and employed physician network. Competes with TSC for outpatient surgical referrals across the same Middle Tennessee patient population.

Direct peers

• AMSURG: National operator of ambulatory surgery centers, formerly Envision Healthcare. Comparable as a multi-specialty outpatient surgical services platform with referral-driven demand and similar specialty mix to TSC's surgical divisions.
• Tennessee Oncology: OneOncology-affiliated multi-site oncology practice with which TSC shares ownership/network affiliation and operates surgical oncology jointly. Comparable as a specialty physician group operating under the same OneOncology platform with similar geographic scope.

Regional players

• Vanderbilt University Medical Center: Major Nashville-area academic health system with broad specialty surgery services competing directly with TSC for surgical referrals in Middle Tennessee. Overlapping service lines (oncology, vascular, bariatric) make it the most important competitive anchor in TSC's home geography.
• Ascension Saint Thomas Health: Tennessee division of Ascension Health, with multiple hospital campuses where TSC clinics are physically located (Saint Thomas Midtown, Saint Thomas West, Skyline). Direct competitor and partly landlord for TSC, with overlapping surgical specialty coverage.

Others

• OneOncology: Physician-led oncology and surgical practice support platform that owns/affiliates with TSC. While a parent/integrator rather than a competitor, OneOncology's strategic direction is the single most important input into TSC's growth and exit trajectory.
• Mid-South Surgeons (subsidiary): Wholly-owned TSC subsidiary operating as the Columbia Clinic location. Noted for completeness but not a true external peer — comparable as evidence of TSC's acquisitive expansion playbook into regional single-specialty groups.
