University Medical Center at Princeton Surgical Center — Princeton HealthCare System’s outpatient surgical unit — is dedicated to providing patients with extraordinary care in a relaxed, personal atmosphere.

The Surgical Center is designed to provide same-day surgical care for patients who can recuperate safely and comfortably at home. The newly renovated center, which features four state-of-the-art operating rooms and a minor procedures room, is located on the campus of University Medical Center at Princeton, a full-service teaching hospital and a University Hospital Affiliate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey – Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

A Commitment to Comfort, Care & Confidentiality

University Medical Center at Princeton Surgical Center is dedicated to making the outpatient surgery experience pleasant for patients and their families.

The completely renovated waiting room and reception area were designed with one thing in mind — the comfort of our patients, their families and friends.

In addition, a new, private Physician/Patient Consult Room (used exclusively for pre-operative interviews) allows patients to talk openly with their physicians while protecting their confidentiality and privacy.

Progressive Outpatient Care & Advanced Technology

As more patients choose outpatient surgical procedures, University Medical Center at Princeton Surgical Center works to lead the way in advanced, minimally invasive procedures, such as arthroscopic surgery on the knee, shoulder, ankle and wrist; breast biopsy; cataract extraction; ear, nose and throat procedures; plastic surgery; and wisdom teeth extraction.

The Federated Ambulatory Surgery Association (FASA) estimates that over seven million procedures are performed at ambulatory surgery centers each year. According to FASA, more people are choosing to have their surgeries at ambulatory surgical centers because they offer a high level of professionalism and safety, convenient scheduling and value.

For the past 18 years, Princeton HealthCare System has provided outpatient surgery through University Medical Center at Princeton Surgical Center, a dedicated same-day surgical unit. University Medical Center at Princeton Surgical Center was the first ambulatory surgical center in Mercer County. The center opened its doors in 1986 and since then has been providing same-day surgical care for patients who recuperate at home.

We are committed to serving the healthcare needs of our community by combining skilled surgical care with sophisticated technologies and a safe, personal atmosphere.
