I've not required surgery for many years, but my experiences always were associated with hospitals. I now have personal experience with a surgical center that is an absolutely legitimate alternative to a hospital for outpatient surgical services."
  • "All of the nurses and staff were all so happy and cordial to one another. That told me they enjoyed one another and that says a lot about a  facility.""Much easier to access than the hospital and perfect for my kind of surgery. Everyone was friendly and helpful.  So grateful for the good care."    
  • "CSA Surgical Center was wonderful.  The entire staff was so kind to me and made sure I was comfortable at all times.  I will definitely recommend my doctor as well as the surgery center as a whole.  I loved how clean and organized the facility was.  A not-so-pleasant surgery turned out to be one of the best surgical experiences I have ever had!"
  • "Was able to get consultation with surgeon fast."
  • "Small enough that you got full attention from all"
  • "The people that I encountered at CSA Surgical, all had smiles and a friendly demeanor, which isn't necessarily rare... but having had numerous experiences over the years, it's difficult to get the entire team at that level, and it's not hard to find a crabby person in your line of work. Having a positive person greet you and experience that positivity throughout the entire process means a lot as a patient. CSA definitely hit the mark. Keep the staff smiling, more often than not you'll infect others with a little brighter day"
