History

Surgical Associates of South Carolina, P.A. was formed in 1996 when two large practices, South Carolina Surgical Associates and Columbia Surgical Associates, merged. South Carolina Surgical Associates had been formed in 1963 and Columbia Surgical Associates was formed in 1959 by Dr. Daniel W. Davis.

South Carolina Surgical brought in to the group Dr. Dail W. Longaker, Dr. David E. Tribble, Dr. Robert H. Bunch (whose father George co-founded the practice), Dr. J Benjamin Tribble, and Dr. Dalton S. Prickett. Columbia Surgical Associates brought eight physicians into the group including Dr. Daniel W. Davis, Dr. C. Alden Sweatman. Jr., Dr. Neal R. Reynolds, Dr. Sidney E. Morrison, III, Dr. Chad A. Rubin, and three other doctors who have since formed their own practice in Lexington County. Dr. Jose Mena joined Surgical Associates of South Carolina in July of 1997. Dr. Davis retired from the practice in August of 1996.
