Surgery of any kind brings with it a certain amount of anxiety—even for the in-and-out experience of same-day surgery. The UI Ambulatory Surgery Center brings together a health care team that offers dedicated, patient-focused care to help alleviate that anxiety.
The physicians and staff work to ensure that your experience is as comfortable and convenient as possible.
We feature:
- One-stop, streamlined registration, on site in our new center
- Pagers for family members to allow you to meet with the surgeon as soon as your loved one's procedure is completed
- Separate pediatric admission and waiting areas
- Private rooms for pre-operative and recovery care
- Periodic follow-up phone calls and care advice after your discharge
Our surgery team includes physicians, nurses, and anesthesiologists who are specially trained to use state-of-the-art technology for outpatient surgical care.

- Ear, nose and throat procedures, such as ear tubes, tonsillectomies and adenoidectomies, and plastic surgery
