Community Surgery Center North

The Community Surgery Center staff promises attentive, professional care. We understand that surgery is a major event in your life, and we are determined to provide you with superior medical care. We know that family members and friends are important and we include them in your care.

Community Surgery Center North has a convenient entry where patients may be dropped off or picked up under the protection of a canopy near the main entrance of the building. There is free and convenient parking for visitors.

Every patient has a private room before and after surgery to ensure comfort, privacy and confidentiality.

The waiting room is spacious and has complimentary coffee. Snacks, soda and water can be purchased at the vending machines in the waiting area. For family members who will be with us for longer time periods, Community Hospital North has a large cafeteria with a variety of food and drink options within walking distance from the surgery center. We do ask that family members do not bring in food from the outside out of respect for other family members and patients who are not allowed to eat prior to their procedures.

All Community Surgery Center locations are tobacco-free environments. As a healthcare provider, the decision to be tobacco-free is intended to protect all of our patients, visitors and employees from the well-documented detrimental inhalation of smoke. If you are observed smoking anywhere on the campus, an employee or security guard will kindly ask you to stop smoking. If you are a visitor, please ask the personnel at the front desk for a complimentary beverage to help you through your stay. We may also provide you with more detailed information on how to quit smoking if you are interested. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
