Encino Surgicenter, A Medical Group
Encino Surgicenter is our surgical facility located adjacent to our office. It was specially designed and constructed for plastic surgery. Most of our surgical procedures are performed here as it is more convenient, more personal, and less expensive than a hospital.
This facility is expertly outfitted and has the technical safeguards of hospital operating rooms. Both Anesthesiologists and Anesthetists provide anesthesia for us. We are a Medicare Certified Ambulatory Surgical Center and are accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF).
Overnight care facilities are available for those patients not wanting to return home immediately after surgery. Transportation is provided to the facility and back to our office. Professional care can be provided on a 24 hour basis.
