Vanderbilt Health has opened a new urology clinic in Coffee County. The clinic will provide additional care options for residents needing urology care and services. 

Located at 1440 Cedar Lane, Suite 300, Tullahoma, Tennessee, the new clinic will be led by John C. Richier, MD and will provide comprehensive care for a wide range of urologic conditions including kidney stones, kidney and urinary tract infections, bladder control problems, prostate conditions and more. Richier will be supported by nursing and technical staff.

“As part of Vanderbilt Health’s growing investment in Coffee County, we are proud to be able to deliver urology care in a convenient setting for the community,” said Rich Ellis, president of Vanderbilt Tullahoma-Harton Hospital. “Dr. Richier and his decades of experience and expertise are invaluable to enhancing the well-being of Tullahoma residents.”

Richier has been practicing urology for 30 years in both clinic and hospital settings. He went to medical school at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and completed his general surgery residency and urology residency at University of Texas Southwestern at Dallas Parkland Hospital. 

In his previous roles, Richier served at Irving Medical Surgical Clinic, Associated Urologist of Nashville, LLC, Midwest Urological Group, Ltd., and most recently at Christus Trinity Good Shepherd Hospital. He also served as chief of Urology for Order of Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria, Illinois, and Baptist Hospital in Nashville. He is board certified with the American Board of Urology and has numerous published works. 

“I look forward to the opportunity to join the community in Tullahoma and provide care for new patients and families in the region,” Richier said.

“This new clinic is part of Vanderbilt Health’s ongoing commitment to enhancing health care services within our communities, including providing increased access to the specialty care that residents desire and need,” said Travis Capers, interim president for Vanderbilt Bedford Hospital and president of Vanderbilt Regional Community Hospitals.
