Physicians and Patients - Know the Difference Between Hospitals and Ambulatory Surgery Center’s

According to the Agency for Health Administration, an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) is a licensed outpatient facility that is not part of a hospital. The primary purpose of an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) is to provide elective surgical care. Every patient that is admitted is then discharged within the same working day.

Advanced Ambulatory Surgery Center, an ASC, is a progressive multi-specialty medical facility dedicated to healthcare and excellence. We provide our team of physicians with a stress-free and convenient surgery center experience and their patients access to quality and affordable outpatient surgical procedures. While we are equipped for almost any surgery, AASC specializes in spine surgery, orthopedic surgery/procedures, and pain management while providing the latest in research, technology, and treatments. For our out of town patients we provide a list of local accommodations to consider, post-surgery.

There are many benefits of ASC’S for both physicians and their patients. The below list includes but is not limited to the benefits of Ambulatory Surgery Centers. (information source: Advancing Surgical Care):
