Surgery Center Advantages
As a joint venture, multi-specialty surgical facility, Surgery Center Cedar Rapids is part of a fast-growing, nationwide trend toward outpatient surgeries being performed outside hospital operating rooms.
Below are a few advantages of the surgery center concept.
Efficient. Turn-around time between surgeries is as much as three times faster than at hospitals, which means less waiting for patients. Costs are competitive; costs at the thousands of surgery centers throughout the nation can be significantly less than at hospitals.
- Dependable. Scheduled surgery times are not likely to be delayed or bumped by non-related emergencies, as they may be at hospitals.
- Family-friendly. Children and families are treated with the utmost care. When a child is scheduled for surgery, parents are encouraged to be present as much as possible before and after surgery.
- Comfortable. Patients and their families can relax in a pleasant environment, far from the emergency and trauma situations one may witness in a hospital.
- Advanced. Surgery Center Cedar Rapids boasts the newest high-tech medical equipment. Patients can be confident in the knowledge that their physicians are able to treat them using the most advanced surgical tools available.
- Convenient. Surgery Center Cedar Rapids has sought to eliminate the common concerns people have about hospitals. We provide: free, covered parking, only steps away from the front door; a private consultation room, 26 private pre-operative and recovery rooms; and private patient exit. Easy to find, Surgery Center Cedar Rapids is located directly across 1st Avenue from St. Luke’s Hospital.
- Personal. Our friendly staff offers both immediate, personal service and highly professional care.
- Your Choice. Because Surgery Center Cedar Rapids is a joint venture between several physicians and St. Luke’s hospital, doctors do not need to be employed by the facility to utilize it. You and your physician of choice can make the decision to have your procedure performed here.
