OUR QUALITY RECOGNIZED

Our facility has been thoroughly inspected and has achieved official accreditation by the AAAASF, the Gold Standard in facility Accreditation. The AAAASF was founded in 1980 as a way to standardize and improve patient care in surgical facilities. It is currently the largest not-for-profit accrediting organization in the United States with over 2000 accredited ambulatory surgical facilities. AAAASF has been instrumental in the implementation of state legislation in California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and several other states mandating the accreditation of all outpatient facilities. In order to receive accreditation from the AAAASF, surgicalfacilities must meet certain requirements of excellence in patient safety and quality of care.
