We are proud to have nurses who have attained a higher level of practice by obtaining certification in their specialization. These nurses have experience in all aspects of surgery including orthopedics, ophthalmology gynecology, urology, vascular and general surgery. This expertise enables them to better care for the patient preoperatively, better assist the surgeon in performing the specific surgical procedure and to anticipate the patient's needs for an uncomplicated postoperative course. Our operating rooms are fully equipped to offer a variety of surgical procedures. Total joint replacement, such as total knee and total hip replacements are routinely performed.
Cataract surgery is performed in the morning and the patient is home the same afternoon.
Ear, nose and throat surgery is also available. Urology procedures such as prostate surgery, kidney surgery, and lithotripsy for kidney stones are part of our daily surgical schedule. The SMH Ambulatory Surgery Center is conveniently located on the ground floor of the hospital. Every effort is made to arrange your surgery at the most convenient time for your schedule.
