The state-of-the-art 30,000 sq ft. Ambulatory Surgery Center opened in 2001. It consists of eight well-equipped operating rooms, each capable of supporting any type of ambulatory surgery. Approximately 8500 cases were performed at the Ambulatory Surgery Center last year. The Ambulatory Center has been in the top 3% ambulatory centers in its class throughout the entire USA for patient satisfaction. We have accomplished this five years in a row.
Most surgical specialties are represented at the center. We welcome surgeons from the university as well as from the surrounding communities. We perform some quite complex and lengthy procedures on an out-patient basis. Patients enjoy the privacy of their own pre-operative waiting rooms and families are permitted to be together in the recovery room.
The Center is particularly well suited for pediatric surgery with a dedicated pre-operative play area and a specialized recovery area for children. There is barely a day here without lots of children accompanied by their anxious parents and grandparents running around the facility.
Many pain management procedures are also performed at the center. These vary from very complicated nerve stimulation trials, radiofrequency nerve ablations, ultrasound guided nerve blocks, to the usual therapies for lower back and neck pain. This service is supported by our own pain physicians, community pain physicians and a psychiatrist.
We have a lithotripsy service where renal stones are treated very successfully.
There are six full time Ambulatory anesthesiologists. We are supported by a dedicated group of anesthesiologists who rotate between the hospital and ambulatory center. All attending anesthesiologists are board certified.
