Ambulatory Surgical Centers and Why They Matter To You

Imagine having a weight-loss procedure and being able to sleep in your own bed the same night - no hospital stay required. It’s possible at one of New York Bariatric Group’s specialized Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASC).

What is an Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC)?

An ASC is a modern healthcare facility designed exclusively for same-day surgical procedures. ASCs are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by highly trained medical professionals to provide patients with a comfortable and efficient alternative to traditional hospital-based surgery.

Benefits of Ambulatory Surgical Centers

• Go Home the Same Day: Overnight stays are not required for ASC-eligible procedures. Patients have their medical procedure and leave the same day after recovery and return to the comfort of their own home.
• Dedicated Staff: Your care team is trained and focused solely on the procedures that NYBG offers. Patients will not only receive the best care from expert providers while at the ASC, but they will be surrounded by those who truly care about the continued weight-loss journeys of each patient.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to hospital-based surgery, ASC procedures typically incur lower expenses for both patients and insurers. By focusing solely on outpatient care, ASCs streamline operations, which translates into savings for patients without compromising on quality.
• Reduced Infection Risk: ASCs adhere to rigorous infection control protocols. In contrast to a hospital setting, outpatient facilities have fewer patients, automatically reducing the likelihood of contracting diseases. This setting offers a lower-risk alternative to hospital stays and provides peace of mind for patients seeking surgical care.
• Fully-Equipped Facilities: ASCs are equipped with advanced medical technology and state-of-the-art equipment. From cutting-edge operating rooms to comprehensive recovery areas, ASCs provide everything necessary for a successful surgical experience in a comfortable and convenient setting.
• Convenience and Accessibility: ASCs offer unparalleled convenience and accessibility for patients. ASCs eliminate the hassle of navigating large hospitals and parking garages, allowing for a stress-free experience from start to finish.

Assessment and Consultation: Before scheduling your surgery at one of our ASCs, we'll conduct a thorough assessment of your health and medical history to determine your eligibility for outpatient surgery.
