Surgery Center Partners: Our Approach

About Surgery Center Partners >> Our Approach

As a company founded and owned by physicians, Surgery Center Partners has a physician-centered perspective. We pioneered a unique ownership model—our physician partners are majority owners of their ambulatory surgery center. We also make it easy to become a partner by offering three valuable financial advantages:

A very low initial investment—only 10% of the total cost to develop the center divided amongst the partners
Pre-opening development costs are limited to $75,000, free of mark-up, and amortized over the life of the loan
Significant savings on management costs after the center first opens (while revenues grow)

Our physician partners also receive a higher return on their investment than that offered by competing management companies and hospitals.

In addition to the financial benefits, our physician partners can count on:

Proven, hassle and headache-free professional services—everything from site selection and construction to accreditation, staffing and billing—for a turnkey operation
Maximum productivity, using a single high-quality outpatient facility that can accommodate scheduling preferences
Patient care provided by an experienced, dedicated team of medical and administrative professionals
Accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), Medicare certification and licensing by the state
A high level of patient satisfaction—our center partners have consistently achieved an average 99.4% satisfaction rating—and we measure patient satisfaction at every facility on a monthly basis

By joining forces with Surgery Center Partners, physicians can obtain the maximum benefit from owning a surgery center without diverting time and energy from the practice of medicine.
