Why use an in-office surgery center?

Why would you want to have your procedure in an office based surgery center?
1. We have a State of the Art Ambulatory Surgery Center which provides an enhanced patient-focused experience with the best of both worlds - an experienced surgical team combined with the state-of-the-art surgical technology.

2. Office based surgical suite provides safety, convenience, comfort and discretion.

3. The Surgery Center is AAAA accredited by the National Accreditation Association and State of Florida certified which means that it has all the necessary support and staff available in hospitals or surgery and hospital based surgery centers.

Many surgeons and many patients tend to prefer ambulatory surgery centers (in-office) for outpatient procedures for a number of reasons:

1. Control over procedures and standards. Dr. Potparic prefers working in the ASC as he can set the standards for equipment, safety, postoperative care, etc., rather than having these decided for him by a hospital administrator.

2. Patient Control: The patient has options of scheduling surgery on dates convenient to their schedule, especially a Friday surgery which allows you the weekend for recovery.

3. Cost. In numerous cases, the outpatient procedure performed in an ASC costs one-half as much as the same procedure done in the hospital.

4. Safe Option to hospital surgery and is expressly designed for comfort and convenience. The finely tuned level of care provided in the relaxed surroundings makes your experience safer and less stressful.

5. Presence of family and friends. Whereas most hospitals keep patients recovering from a surgical procedure in separate rooms, in an ASC the patient can usually spend the recovery period after surgery with their loved ones.

6. Convenience. There is much less administrative paperwork and "red tape" at an ambulatory surgical center compared to the admissions process at most hospitals. Patients also like the fact that they can leave an ASC relatively quickly after their surgery, as soon as it is considered safe to be discharged.

Comprehensive Understanding of your needs!

Dr. Potparic’s clients come from all over the world and as a result of that Dr. Potparic has a very comprehensive understanding of the needs of many people of diverse situations. Someone in the Caribbean, Central America, New York or even Florida may not have the same needs as someone from Canada, California or Paris. Weather, environment, age and family genetics play a huge roll in defining who you are and what your needs are when it comes to plastic surgery. Face lifts, facial fillers and Botox ® are a large part of the doctor’s sphere of expertise, as is liposuction and body contouring. There are many times when you price shop and that’s as it should be, but, a medical procedure should not be one of those times. We recommend you see at least three doctors, ask your questions and get your quote. Once you have three quotes and all of your questions have been answered and your concerns been satisfied you should make your decision but never ever make that decision on price alone!
