Why do you use WHERE statement to join tables? This is very old technic. You need to use Joins[^]!

you can use join instead of like this
WHERE p.MedicalRecNum = v.MedicalRecNum AND vp.VisitID = v.VisitID AND pr.ProcID = vp.ProcID

Apart from the JOINs you should be using as Maciej has already mentioned, you need to look at the rest of your SQL code - the error message is specifically pointing you at "line 95" and there are only five in that entire fragment. It's quite likely that you are assuming where the error is incorrectly!

Try this rewrite which is based on JOINs and see if the error persists

SQL

SELECT p.LastName, p.FirstName, p.Phone , pr.ProcDescription

FROM   Patient          p
INNER JOIN Visit        v ON p.MedicalRecNum = v.MedicalRecNum 
INNER JOIN Visit_proc  vp ON v.VisitID       = vp.VisitID
INNER JOIN [PROCEDURE] pr ON vp.ProcID       = pr.ProcID

WHERE    pr.ProcDescription LIKE '%tomy'
ORDER BY pr.ProcDescription ASC, p.LastName ASC, p.FirstName DESC;
