Why Choose Us?

Valley Ambulatory Surgery Center (VASC) provides an effective quality alternative to hospital based surgery and was specifically designed to be comfortable and convenient.

Quality
Our state-of-the-art facility is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. and is licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health. VASC enjoys an excellent reputation among doctors and patients alike, receiving consistently high remarks from patient satisfaction surveys. Arthur Andersen named Valley Ambulatory Surgery Center and Valley Medical Inn finalists for the "Exceeding Customer Expectations" category of the 1998 Chicago Office Best Practice Awards.

Comfort
VASC features a comfortable atmosphere designed to make patients feel at ease. The abundance of large windows and natural light, the soothing fountain, soft colors, the open airy feel, equate to a more calming experience. Our caring staff specialize in making the patient experience at VASC as pleasant as possible. Smiles and positive attitudes are a part of our design.

Patients take comfort in knowing that infection is rare because our patients are generally healthy and not exposed to infected non-surgical patients.

Convenience
Operations are performed on time and our staff works in cooperation with your doctor. New procedures and fast-acting anesthetics speed recovery time and expedite your return to work and other activities.

Streamlined administration reduces waiting and paperwork. A patient representative calls the patient prior to surgery to obtain important medical history and insurance information. When the patient arrives at VASC, the patient checks the printout for accuracy and makes any changes. Patients at VASC do not have to spend time filling out long forms.

Special Care for Children
VASC is an ideal choice when considering surgery for children. The warm and comfortable design coupled with our caring and experienced staff takes the fear out of surgery. VASC offers a needle-free approach to our younger patients. All blood work and IV starts are performed after your child is under anesthesia. We treat children with special attention and tenderness.

Moms and Dads are welcome in our pre-operative and post-recovery areas, so children can fall asleep and wake up to familiar faces. Our separate pediatric post-recovery room is decorated with colorful cartoon characters and is complete with rocking chairs and stuffed animals for cuddling. Parents take comfort in knowing that our staff is specially trained in pediatric care.

Value
Our patients can expect savings of up to 20 to 50 percent compared to the same procedure performed at a local hospital, significantly reducing the out-of-pocket expense. VASC has more to offer than just savings. Combined with our friendly environment, caring professionals and latest in equipment and surgical techniques, VASC provides the value that you expect but rarely find in health care today.
