Today, thanks to the many advances in surgical technology and anesthesia techniques, more and more surgical procedures are being performed in the outpatient setting and do not require admission to a hospital. These procedures can be performed on the same day, allowing the patient to recover in the comfort of their home and return to their normal activities quickly. Whether or not a patient can have outpatient surgery is determined by your physician and is based on your specific condition and overall health status.

Compliance HelpLine
We encourage employees, medical staff, vendors, patients, and business partners to report to Janice Stewart, Compliance Officer at 516.266.5014 or the Compliance HelpLine any actual or suspected violations of the Center’s policies and procedures and/or federal or state law. Calls received by the Compliance HelpLine are most often inquiries but can sometimes be reports of potential misconduct. Our investigatory process includes many methods to determine whether any misconduct occurred. Compliance takes all calls seriously. Inquiries are reviewed by the Compliance Officer and may also be reviewed by other applicable departments.
The Center’s Compliance HelpLine is available 24 hours a day, even days a week. Compliance HelpLine callers may remain anonymous and those who choose to give their name will have their identities protected to the extent allowed by law.
