Facility Credentials

It is just as important to understand the credentials of the facility in which your surgical procedure will be performed as it is to understand the credentials of your surgeon. The surgery facility at the office of Ralph R. Garramone, M.D., FACS has met the stringent Accreditation Requirements of The American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. It is the mission of this organization to insure the highest quality patient care in the ambulatory surgery setting.

Our AAAASF accredited surgery facility has met stringent national standards for equipment, operating room safety, personnel and surgeon credentials. Maintaining safety and quality in an ambulatory surgery facility is a dynamic process which requires constant review and AAAASF has developed systems to effectively monitor and implement the latest advances in outpatient care delivery that will directly benefit patients. In fact, AAAASF accreditation guidelines have been recognized as the Gold Standard, providing the highest level of safety and quality in ambulatory surgery care.
