NOC Surgery Center

Ortho Quick Care

A convenient and comfortable alternative to hospital surgery.

At NOC Surgery Center, our objective has always been to offer our patients the most advanced medical care in a friendly, comfortable environment. Pursuing this goal, NOC has combined recent advances in outpatient surgical techniques with a state-of-the-art surgical facility. Now, many surgeries once possible only in a traditional hospital environment can be performed effectively and safely in our outpatient Surgery Center.

The NOC Surgery Center offers patients many advantages:

  • Our patients are our primary focus. Patient comfort and well-being is our first priority.
  • Our dedicated surgeons, nurses, medical assistants, and staff work together on a daily basis, providing exceptional efficiency and continuity of care.
  • Access is convenient, with front door parking and short walking distances.
  • Outpatient procedures are often more economical than traditional surgical options.
  • Many patients find the comfortable, relaxed environment less stressful.
  • Parents can stay with children during their visit except during the surgical procedure and immediate postoperative recovery.
  • Procedures are performed with local or general anesthesia and patients return home on the day of surgery.

Our fully-credentialed staff are well trained in all aspects of surgical procedures, including advanced cardiac and life support procedures.
