Operating room at West Annapolis Surgery Center

Our facility

An accredited surgery center inside the practice.

Having the operating suite in the same building as the consultation room changes the experience of surgery in ways that are hard to appreciate until you have been through it somewhere else.

What it means for you

Six things a practice-based suite makes possible.

One building, start to finish

Consultation, surgery, recovery, and every follow-up visit happen at 104 Ridgely Avenue, in the same 11,000 square foot building. You are not sent across town to an unfamiliar facility on the morning of your procedure.

A dedicated operating suite

The surgical suite is part of the practice, staffed by people who work with our surgeons every day rather than a rotating hospital roster.

Board-certified anesthesia

Anesthesia is provided by credentialed anesthesia professionals, with the approach discussed and chosen for you before the day of surgery.

Private recovery

Recovery takes place in a private space with a nurse present, and your designated driver is kept informed rather than left in a waiting room.

Continuity of staff

The team that meets you at your consultation is the team present on the day. Familiar faces matter more than most patients expect.

Discretion by design

Entry, parking, and scheduling are arranged so that a visit here does not have the feel of a hospital appointment.

The day itself

Five stages, no surprises.

01 · Before

Pre-operative instructions, medication review, and a confirmed arrival time. We tell you what to stop taking, when to stop eating, and who needs to drive you.

02 · Arrival

You check in at the practice, change, and meet your surgeon and the anesthesia provider. Markings and final photographs are done here.

03 · Procedure

Your surgeon operates in our suite with the same team present throughout. Your driver is given an expected timeframe.

04 · Recovery

You wake in a private recovery area with a nurse. Once you meet discharge criteria and instructions have been reviewed with your driver, you go home.

05 · After

Written instructions, a direct number to reach us, and a scheduled follow-up. Most questions during recovery are answered the same day.
