Southern Surgery Center

Patients and their families enjoy the personal care they receive in a relaxed, friendly environment thus creating a patient-doctor friendly atmosphere. Experienced, well trained staff and full time anesthesiologists are an integral part of ASCs. The convenience of decreased time spent waiting, early discharge, lower costs and decreased risk of nosacomial infections are positive aspects of these centers. Technological advances have greatly improved surgical procedures. For example, Southern Surgery Center offers the "Hermes System". This state of the art equipment is a voice activated control system allowing the surgeon to adjust functions of the various pieces of equipment for arthroscopic procedures simply by giving voice commands to "Hermes". This system improves the efficiency and productivity of staff and surgeons.

Family involvement and detailed instructions for post-op care, enable the patient to return to the highest level of pre-procedure activity possible. This team approach reduces anxiety and promotes well-being and decreases patient dependency.
