Experience Specialized Care

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. 

Ambulatory Surgery Center Services

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.

Ambulatory Surgery Center Q&A

What is an Ambulatory Surgery Center?

An Ambulatory Surgery Center is a healthcare facility where patients undergo scheduled surgical procedures and return home the same day. It is designed for procedures that do not require an overnight hospital stay. 

What types of surgeries are performed at the ASC?

Our center performs a variety of orthopedic and pain management procedures, including arthroscopy, tendon repairs, hand surgery, foot and ankle procedures, injections, and other outpatient treatments. Your physician will determine if your procedure is appropriate for the ASC setting. 

Is outpatient surgery safe?

Yes. For eligible patients and procedures, outpatient surgery is a safe and effective option. Our center follows strict safety protocols and is staffed by experienced surgeons, anesthesia professionals, nurses, and surgical teams focused on high-quality care. 

How should I prepare for my surgery?

Before your procedure, you will receive detailed instructions regarding medications, fasting, arrival time, transportation, and recovery expectations. A caregiver should accompany you to the ASC and be available to assist after your procedure. Following these instructions carefully helps ensure a safe, smooth surgical experience. 

What happens after surgery?

After your procedure, you will recover in a monitored recovery area before being discharged home the same day. You’ll receive post-operative instructions, medication guidance, and follow-up information to support a safe recovery.
