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.
With two convenient locations, UMCP Surgical Center is designed to provide same-day surgical care for patients who can recuperate safely and comfortably at home. The Princeton 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.
Our new facility at 8 Centre Drive in Monroe features two state-of-the-art operating rooms with the ability to expand to four rooms; new, cutting-edge equipment; and comfortable procedure and waiting rooms.
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 (such as balloon sinuplaty); plastic surgery; and wisdom teeth extraction.
The Federated Ambulatory Surgery Association (FASA) estimates that more than 7 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 more than two decades, 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 Princeton 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.
