Surgery in a Hospital vs. a Surgery Center
Denver, Colorado
Rather than sending our patients to a hospital, we give them comfort, care, and convenience in our ambulatory surgery center. At Colorado Plastic Surgery Center, we embrace a Culture of Safety as the foundation of our practice, and work hard to ensure that every breast surgery procedure is as safe as possible. Having our own surgical center means we know everything is in place and ready in the unlikely event of an emergency. And, to prove it, our ambulatory surgical center is accredited, licensed, and certified as meeting the demanding standards of three different agencies.
And having our own surgery center means that we have more control over scheduling and can better work around your schedule to give you a convenient appointment time for your breast surgery. We invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Nick Slenkovich and tour our surgical facility. Then you will see for yourself how we designed our facilities from the ground up with safety and the optimal cosmetic surgery experience in mind.
Benefit of Breast Surgery in a Surgery Center
Our surgery center is a more personal and relaxing environment. Colorado Plastic Surgery Center only serves cosmetic surgery patients, allowing Dr. Nick to focus on you and your breast enhancment procedure. Benefits of breast surgery in Colorado Plastic Surgery Center include:
- Dr. Nick does not have to share time in the operating room with other surgeons, so he can give you all the time you need.
- Dr. Nick has his own surgical staff that he has carefully selected so he knows that you will get the best quality care from each member.
- All surgery center staff members, including administrative staff, are required to have basic life support certification and the surgery center performs routine emergency drills.
- The surgery center is a very private setting that minimizes potential exposure to infection.
- We have a fully equipped operating room and a full surgical staff, to provide the same level of care you would expect from a hospital or better
- Friends or family members who accompany you can relax in a private setting while they wait. They can enjoy refreshments, watch television and access the internet in our comfortable reception area. If they prefer, we can direct them to conveniently located restaurants and shopping.
Accredited Because We Care
In Colorado, a plastic surgeon can perform outpatient surgery in his office--there is no legal requirement to have a licensed Ambulatory Surgical Center. We built our facility because we care about patient safety. Our Ambulatory Surgical Center is:
- Licensed by the Colorado Department of Health
- Accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities
- Certified by The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Each of these agencies makes rigorous demands on a surgical center, and our triple-accreditation provides maximum assurance that everything has been done to ensure your safety during your outpatient procedure at Colorado Plastic Surgical Center.
