Meet Our Surgical Team

Outpatient surgery refers to surgery that doesn’t require an overnight hospital stay. This type of surgery is sometimes called ambulatory or same-day surgery. You’ll receive the same high-level care as patients who require an overnight stay in the hospital.

From pre-surgery education to post-surgical care, your best health is our highest priority. After you go home, our team will stay in close contact with you, readily accessible at any time of day or night.

Your care team will vary depending on the surgery and other factors. Our expertise spans a full spectrum of skills and specialties. This includes advanced capabilities in areas such as robotic-assisted surgery and minimally invasive procedures.

At OhioHealth, our doctors, nurses and customized teams of specialists collaborate closely and contribute unique skills.

Health professionals who may contribute to your care include:

Advanced Practice Providers: Specialists with advanced training who work closely with your doctor to address complex medical situations.
Anesthesiologists: Medical doctors with advanced specialization in administering medications to control pain and support vital functions. They care for patients before, during and after surgery.
Lab Technicians: Professionals who draw blood, collect tissue and body fluid samples, and perform microscopic tests under the supervision of a medical technologist or doctor. Your doctor will use these test results to diagnose and treat your condition.
