Why Choose Us?

Surgical Specialty Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania offers a spacious, up-to-date ambulatory surgery center. We welcome the surgeons of Kingston Surgery Center, who merged their center with ours in March 2016. Kingston Surgery Center has a long history in our community. It was the very first outpatient surgery center in Pennsylvania, built in 1984.

United, we form a team of experienced and highly skilled surgeons offering dentistry, ENT, general surgery, ophthalmology, orthopedics, pain management and podiatry. We are proud to be named a Cataract Innovator, one of less than twenty centers in the United States recognized for superior patient care.

Our patients have highly rated the care they have received from our doctors and staff and say they are likely to recommend our center for outpatient procedures. See what patients had to say.

Everyone was very helpful, kind and caring. They took time to explain everything, and answer my questions. The place is very clean and modern. I had no postop pain at all. My one complaint is that over 2 years into the Covid pandemic, I still had to go in alone. No family or support person was allowed. That was really hard on both me and my husband. At this point, when the world has gone on with shopping, eating out and vacationing, it seems extreme to not allow 1 person to accompany and help a patient.

Wonderful first time experience. Check in with April was fast, efficient, and friendly. Pre-op was done by Paula and she was fantastic. Answered all my questions and really put me at ease. Could not ask for anything better.
