Why 20th Street Surgery Center?

As a fully accredited Ambulatory Surgery Center, 20th Street offers many advantages over a traditional hospital-based surgical program. Below, you will find just some of the many reasons why choosing our surgery center may be the best option for you. We encourage you to have a discussion with your surgeon or physician about the benefits of surgery at an outpatient center and whether it is appropriate for your upcoming procedure.

Reasons for choosing an Ambulatory Surgery Center:

  • Because of our streamlined processes, Ambulatory Surgery centers often save patients hundreds if not thousands of dollars over a hospital setting.
  • We are often able to provide greater patient care and respond to requests more quickly since we are not constrained by a hospital’s often bloated bureaucracy
  • Dedicated facilities such as Ambulatory Surgery centers often have greater infection control due to the lower volume of patients and visitors
