♪ [music] ♪

The Baptist Outpatient Surgery Center is a fully
accredited surgery center that specializes in providing

outpatient surgery to the
patients of southeastern Kentucky.

It's a fully contained outpatient surgery center.

So the patient comes in, they have their prehab done,
they have their surgery,

and then go to recovery and it provides for a very
efficient and very superior way to provide care.

And so, the patients come in, they get their surgery,
and get to go home shortly afterwards.

It's more like an office
setting than a hospital setting.

So that eases fear quite a bit.

And here we have dedicated techs and nurses that
operate with us every time we operate here,

and in some cases, have been
operating with us for years.

Personally, my practice provides ophthalmology
services, but we provide a lot of GI services,

scopes, EGDs, colonoscopies.

There are quite a few dental services provided here
also, and we do quite a bit of general surgery.

All of these surgeries that we provide have a very high
success rate and a very low complication rate.

So if you combine that with a very nice setting that
does not remind a patient of a hospital but more

of going into a doctor's office, people like that,
and they feel quite comforted with that.
