Surgery of any kind brings with it a certain amount of anxiety—even for the in-and-out experience of same day surgery.

Using teams that include physicians, nurses, anesthesiologists and more who are dedicated to excellence and specially trained for outpatient surgical care, the new center provides patients access to the depth and breadth of one of “America’s Best Hospitals” and its highly ranked children’s hospital.

The physicians and staff of UI Ambulatory Surgery Center work to ensure that you or a family member’s experience is as comfortable and convenient as possible.

This includes:

• One-stop, streamlined registration, on site in the 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 adult and pediatric admission and waiting areas
• Private rooms for pre-operative and recovery care
• Periodic follow-up phone calls and care advice after your discharge
• Patient and Guest Services
