At Plaza Outpatient Surgery Center, patient safety is our number one priority. To make sure that we do everything possible to maintain patient safety, we have formalized the following steps:     

• We ask our patients to describe in detail any medical problems, medications they take, or previous surgeries. This allows us to understand any special needs of our patients.

• We ask for a Medical Clearance before surgery is performed.  This includes everyone and anyone that may have questionable or known medical problems.

• We use physician anesthesiologists for all procedures that require general anesthesia or deep sedation.

• We uphold the strictest hiring and educational criteria in our nursing staff to make certain patients are well cared for before, during, and after all procedures.

• We perform procedures in our state-of-the-art surgery center, which is fully certified by AAAHC to assure the highest standards in our patient care, medications, sterility, lighting, and equipment.

• We maintain a binding transfer agreement with Valley Presbyterian Hospital, should there be a need for hospital care following a procedure.

• We provide detailed post-operative written instructions to our patients and their families or other caregivers, so they know what to expect and any problem signs following procedures.

• We have 24 hour physician coverage for emergencies following procedures.
