Santa Barbara Surgery Center offers a safe, convenient, highly qualified alternative to inpatient hospitalization. Today, outpatient surgery in the freestanding non-hospital setting has become more than accepted; it has grown to be the preferred alternative. Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) are facilities where surgeries that do not require hospital admission are performed. They provide a cost-effective and convenient environment that is less stressful than what many hospitals can offer.

Patients who elect to have surgery in an ASC arrive on the day of the procedure, have the surgery in a fully equipped operating room, and recover under the care of the nursing staff, all without hospital admission. From pediatric patients to the elderly, both clients and their families benefit from the comfortable environment of the ASC.
