The Essex Specialized Surgical Institute is an ambulatory surgery center specializing in eye and related surgery for those patients who are generally well, who are good candidates for outpatient surgery, and who can reasonably be expected to be discharged to home within approximately three hours. Only in rare instances will patients be maintained in the facility longer then six hours. Because of manufacturer’s equipment capacity limits, surgical patients must weigh less than the maximum rated manufacturer’s weight limit of surgical equipment. Patients needing additional professional care will be transferred to a hospital following established transfer agreements.
