Surgery Center Provides Better Patient Experience

For your convenience, we have created a state-of-the-art surgical center located at our main office in Indianapolis. The Surgery Center is a patient-friendly center and provides a pleasant and homelike atmosphere while you undergo treatment as an outpatient. Importantly, Indiana Hand to Shoulder Center’s staff provides you with special, individualized surgical care, unlike some rushed hospital settings.

The benefits of the Surgery Center can include:

• Cooperative scheduling with your surgeon’s offices to best accommodate your needs.
• Personal presurgical preparation by our knowledgeable nursing staff to prepare you for surgery and obtain health history for the anesthesiologist.
• Minimal waiting times before, during, and after your surgical process and streamlined flow in presurgical, surgical, and recovery areas.
• Earlier return home - usually in a matter of hours after surgery.
• Quicker recovery times - the convenience of recovering in your own home generally makes recovery time quicker and easier than an in-hospital stay.
• Lower cost - since there are no hospital room charges and related hospital charges, costs are much lower for outpatient surgery.
• Reduced stress - most people prefer to recover in the comfort of their own homes rather than in the hospital.

We operate a Same-Day Emergency Clinic at our main office/Surgery Center (8501 Harcourt Road) for patients who have traumatic injuries or conditions. This clinic operates on a call-in basis Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Our surgeons are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for patient emergencies occurring outside of normal business hours. They can be reached after hours through our answering service by calling (317) 875-9105 or (800) 888-HAND.
