Quality Outpatient Care

Unlike surgery performed in a hospital, outpatient surgery means you can go home the same day you have the procedure, typically one to two hours after your surgery is completed. This is a more convenient, less-disruptive alternative to a hospital stay, allowing you to recover with family in the comfort of your own home.
