Accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care Inc., PCMSS participates in ongoing quality and patient safety initiatives. One of the greatest advantages of outpatient surgery centers is safety for patients. Patients are not only in good hands because surgeons do not feel pressured to rush, but ambulatory care centers have lower rates of infection. As a relatively small facility, there is a much lower chance of contracting COVID-19 than in a regular hospital.

Because PCMSS is dedicated to outpatient surgery, we can avoid many delays patients often experience in a hospital setting. By streamlining many administrative processes, patients spend less time waiting. From on-site parking to advance registration, patients enjoy the comfort and efficiency of a smaller environment. Physicians also enjoy block scheduling which allows reduced turnaround time between surgeries.

Choosing an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) over a hospital can save some patients up to 50% in out-of-pocket expenses. ASC's work to provide the best surgical experience possible at a lower cost to patients. Because they are more efficient when it comes to same-day surgery, patients typically pay less co-insurance at an ASC for the same procedure received in a hospital setting. To make pricing more transparent, cost information is generally available to patients before surgery.
