ABOUT AMBULATORY SURGERY
 Ambulatory surgery centers are facilities where qualified physicians perform surgeries that don't require hospital admission. They are different from doctors' offices, urgent care centers and healthcare centers. Patients who come to ambulatory surgery centers have already seen a healthcare provider and have chosen surgery as their treatment.
Ambulatory surgery centers have several things in common:
- Services are cost-effective, performed by appointment and don't involve a hospital admission.
- Patients are generally "well" at the time of surgery.
- Lab and diagnostic testing is done in advance.
- Patients arrive at the center the day of surgery, undergo surgery and expect to return home on the same day.
- Fast-tracking anesthesia enables patients to wake up sooner.
- Surgical procedures generally span no more than 90 minutes.
- Recovery time generally spans no more two hours.
Ambulatory surgery centers enjoy a high patient satisfaction rating due to:
- Convenient scheduling
- Cost-effective pricing
- Easy Access
- Enhanced Quality
