At Lakeshore Bone & Joint Institute, our Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC), a joint venture with Lakeshore Surgicare, provides patients with convenient, high-quality outpatient surgical care in a comfortable and efficient setting. Designed specifically for same-day procedures, our center offers advanced technology, specialized orthopedic expertise, and a patient-focused experience from start to finish. 

Many procedures can be safely performed in an outpatient setting, allowing patients to return home the same day.

Compared with a traditional hospital stay, outpatient surgery at an ASC is often associated with shorter recovery times, a lower risk of exposure to hospital-based infections and reduced overall costs. Our team is committed to delivering exceptional care, minimizing recovery disruptions, and helping you return to normal activities as quickly and safely as possible.
