Surgery Centers
Designed to meet the highest standards for outpatient plastic surgery, most of Dr. Berger’s surgeries are performed in ambulatory surgery centers. These surgical suites provide a safe, private and comfortable alternative to a conventional hospital setting. Dr. Berger was the Medical Director of Surgery Center Plastic Surgery, a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgical facility, for twenty years, and understands the importance of safety in surgery.
Even before certification of surgical facilities became required by New York State law, the Surgery Center facility was fully accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc, (AAAASF). AAAASF is an organization dedicated to assuring high standards for ambulatory surgery facilities and assuring quality care in office-based surgery. An accredited facility must meet high safety standards in the operating room and throughout the office. AAAASF is one of three certifying organizations that were created with the specific purpose of assuring patient safety for outpatient surgical procedures. All surgery locations used by Dr. Berger continue to meet AAAASF standards and new requirements set by New York State Law.
Dr. Berger is committed to maintaining the highest standards for the facilities he uses. All are equipped with a large operating room, fully monitored acute and subacute recovery rooms, and a nursing station. The team of experienced anesthesiologists, physician’s assistants, surgical technicians and nurses ensure each patient receives a superlative level of care. Private duty nurses are available to provide post-operative care for patients at home or at nearby hotels.
