Our state-of-the-art Center for Surgical Services, the busiest place in
the hospital, accommodates a variety of specialty cases — from Ear,
Nose and Throat, Neurosurgery, Obstetrics, Gynecology, Ophthalmology,
Oral and Maxillofacial, diagnostic and reconstructive Orthopedics
(including total joint replacement), Podiatry, and Urology — to a wide
spectrum of General Surgery.
Our surgeons are supported by the finest in anesthesia, x-ray,
laboratory, cardiopulmonary and specialized nursing services. They
utilize the latest techniques and technology, including laser and
laparoscopic equipment.
Same Day Surgery offers you the advantage of having surgery in the
morning and being back in the comfort of your own home later the same
day. Because so many surgical procedures can now be performed in Same
Day Surgery, most doctors recommend it whenever possible for its
economy, convenience, and short recovery time — at a fraction of the
cost and stress of inpatient surgery.
Our Same Day Surgery team is trained in Critical Care, Post
Anesthesia care, Ambulatory Care, and IV Conscious Sedation, and are
Advanced Cardiac Life Support certified. Registered Nurses work in
collaboration with our surgeons and anesthetists to prepare you for
surgery, assist in minor procedures, and prepare you to go home. Our
care doesn't stop when you leave our doors: the next day someone from
the team will call to check on your progress and answer your questions
and concerns.
Getting Ready for Surgery
We provide our patients with a warm and caring environment at a time
when often they are faced with a frightening and unfamiliar situation.
All surgeries, major or minor, are scheduled by the surgeon with the
Surgical Coordinator. Prior to surgery, you will visit the Surgical
Coordinator, who will share with you what happens during surgery,
listen to your concerns, answer questions, schedule any pre-operative
testing, and give you pre-operative instructions. One of the benefits
of having surgery at APD is how quickly and efficiently your surgery
can be scheduled, with respect for your schedule and needs.
