OrthoIllinois’ state-of-the-art Surgery Center is representative of its commitment to comprehensive patient care. Conveniently located on the same campus as our main clinical building, the Center’s physicians and staff utilize leading-edge technology and provide personalized care in a cost-effective manner.

The OrthoIllinois Surgery Center is ideal for surgery or pain management procedures that do not require an overnight hospital stay. This means patients arrive at the center on the day of the surgery, undergo the surgical procedure in an operating room, and recuperate under the care of our experienced nursing staff. When ready, the patient is escorted that same day by a family member or companion, to continue recovery in the comfort of their own home. Each member of our staff strives to provide a comfortable experience to ensure a complete and faster recovery.
