Expert Surgical Care in a Convenient and Comfortable Setting
Not all surgical procedures require an overnight hospital stay. Many procedures can be done on an outpatient, or same-day, basis, so patients can return home right after their surgery. St. Joseph’s Health offers advanced same-day surgery in a friendly, family-focused environment, providing patients with comfort and convenience, while also having access to the most advanced technology available and all of St. Joseph’s Health’s expertise and resources.
With our state-of-the-art operating rooms as well as spacious prep and recovery areas, the Ambulatory Surgery Center transforms the outpatient experience by specializing in same-day surgical care. Staffed by St. Joseph’s Health’s board-certified surgeons and anesthesiologists, as well as award winning Magnet-designated nurses who are specially trained for surgical procedures, the Ambulatory Surgery Center offers the same high-quality care and experience patients are accustomed to receiving at the hospital. The dedicated team of surgical specialists offer a wide range of minimally invasive procedures for orthopedics, otolaryngology (ENT), general surgery, urology, plastic surgery and more.
We are committed to providing excellent customer service and answering any questions you may have. Patients receive pre-procedure phone calls to provide information and instructions regarding their procedure. After surgery, patients receive a phone call from a nurse to assess their progress and to assist with any issues or concerns they may have.
Benefits of Same-Day Surgery
- Comfort: Because you’ll be able to return to your own home for rest and recovery, your experience will likely be less stressful than if you had to stay overnight in a hospital room.
- Convenience: Same-day surgery at one of our three surgery centers makes it easy for you and your family to get in and out more quickly than with traditional surgery, so you can focus on healing.
- Safety: Surgery in an ambulatory surgery center is just as safe as the same procedure in a hospital.
- Fast recovery: Advanced technology and minimally invasive procedures allow for faster recovery time, and being able to rest easy at home helps make recovery easier, so you can get back to your normal activities quickly.
Outpatient surgery is not for everyone. Your surgeon, anesthesiologist and care team will work together to help determine if same-day surgery is right for you.
