How is the Surgery Center Different from a Hospital?
Because a hospital must be staffed and equipped to treat all types of medical problems, it provides a much broader range of services than your current needs may require. Since the surgery center is designed exclusively for short stay surgery, we are able to offer patients a convenient, comfortable and generally less costly alternative to the hospital.
The center's warm surroundings and the increased level of individual attention from our staff minimize the stress often associated with surgery. Our pleasant atmosphere is particularly helpful in easing the fears of children who are scheduled for surgery. The center is similar to a hospital in three respects:
- Your surgeon is supported by a highly skilled team of registered nurses and medical technicians specially trained in surgical and recovery care.
- Our surgical suites and sophisticated equipment are like those of a large hospital.
- If scheduled, Board Certified Anesthesiologists will be involved in your care and will be visiting with you upon admittance.
We welcome your suggestions!
The goal of everyone at Lincoln Surgery Center is to deliver premium care in an environment most relaxing for the patient. No one is better qualified to measure our success than a former patient. Please complete the confidential Patient Evaluation Form and return it within ten days. This allows us to be made aware of any new concerns or complications.
We recognize that you have a choice when it comes to your surgery. Thank you for allowing us to provide you with a new standard of excellence.
