Surgical Facilities
In addition to our warm and professional office and staff, our operating facility is fully licensed as a freestanding ambulatory surgical facility by the state of Maryland. It is meticulously clean and well-equipped. Our highest accreditation was conferred by the national agency, the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAASF), in 1999.
A private entrance and exit to the surgical center allow for maximum patient comfort, safety, and privacy. A designated pre-op room will enable patients to meet with our Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) the morning of surgery to discuss any questions they may have. We also provide a private waiting area for the families of our patients. This allows family members and friends to relax in comfort while they wait for their loved one to complete their surgical procedure.
Dr. Houssock and our medical staff are focused on each case individually and on your successful outcome. Should any unforeseen events arise, we are all trained to handle emergencies and are prepared to transfer our plastic surgery patients to a nearby hospital on an urgent basis. Additionally, Dr. Houssock closely monitors each patient she treats in our facility.
The Operating and Recovery rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art monitors, supplies, a backup generator for power outages, and an efficient air-filtration system. These precautions, combined with our professional and courteous staff, ensure that our patients receive the finest in plastic surgery care and safety.
