Surgery Center (Effective and Efficient)

Our Ambulatory Surgery Center, The Plastic SurgiCentre, is located on the lower level of the Plastic Surgery Northwest office building at 535 S. Pine Street. The Plastic SurgiCentre is a Medicare and Washington State certified ambulatory surgery center with two fully equipped surgery suites. We perform procedures with local or general anesthesia on an outpatient basis, providing a cost-effective, comfortable, and safe alternative to in-hospital operating rooms. In most cases you can return home the same day. Patients who desire short-term, attentive nursing care may stay overnight with individual attention by a qualified nurse. We ensure your privacy with a full-time, committed staff and a private entrance.

Accreditation

Patients arrive at Plastic SurgiCentre with full confidence that they will be provided the highest quality medical care in a comfortable setting and at a substantially lower cost and out-patient hospital setting. Our Certification by Medicare and license by the State of Washington assures that PlasticSurgiCentre exceeds the high standards set for patient care and environmental safety.

Board Certified Surgeons

All physicians are Board Certified, including Certified Registered Nurse, Anesthetists (CRNA), and a professional nursing staff that are focused entirely on our patients’ needs.

Costs

The cost of a procedure at an ASC is typically 45 – 60% less that a hospital setting, and sometimes as high as 80% – 90%.

Patient Satisfaction

Personalized service committed to quality and safety, our patient surveys reveal a 98% satisfaction rate with both the care and service they receive.
