Ambulatory Surgery Centers, or ASCs, are facilities where surgeries that do not require hospital admission are performed. Ambulatory Surgical Centers provide cost-effective services and a convenient environment with accessibility that is less stressful than what many hospitals can offer. Patients who choose to have surgery in an Ambulatory Surgical Center, such as Total Pain Care, arrive on the day of their procedure, have their surgery in a fully equipped operating room, and recover under the care of highly skilled nurses – all without hospital admission. Whether they are young, old or somewhere in between, patients and their families benefit from the comfortable environment ASCs offer. Ambulatory Surgery Centers may perform surgeries in several specialties or dedicate their services to one specialty, such as pain management.
