Choosing a Surgery Center

Today, patients often have a choice as to where they can have surgical procedures done. Most doctors treat patients in both surgery centers and in a hospital-based, operating room setting.

With changing health plans, patients need to think about the responsibilities they may have with – higher deductibles, larger co-pays or more co-insurance. Comparing costs can be a significant factor for patients when choosing a facility for surgery. If you are having a scheduled surgical procedure that can be done in an outpatient setting you may have a choice of where you want to have your procedure done. We encourage you to talk to your doctor and see if surgery at Longmont Surgery Center is right for you.

There are many benefits for patients who choose to have surgery at 
Longmont Surgery Center -

• Lower cost for the procedure
• Low infection rates
• Comfortable environment
• Expert medical staff
• Quick recovery times

Sometimes patients do not have the choice. Emergency surgery, procedures that require
highly specialized equipment or long recovery times, or patients who have complicated
medical conditions may need the support of a full hospital-based team and operating
room.

Your doctor may feel that your procedure or health considerations do not make
you a good candidate for an outpatient surgery. It is always best to trust
your doctor for their expertise and let them make the decision.
When you do have a choice we hope you’ll choose
Longmont Surgery Center for our more affordable care and
our reputation of excellence.
