March 19, 2025- U.S. News & World Report released the Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers ratings for 2025. Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) provide same-day surgical care for common procedures such as colonoscopies, cataract surgeries, hip/knee replacements and surgical treatment of enlarged prostate.
For the second annual edition of Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers, U.S. News – in collaboration with CareJourney by Arcadia – evaluated 4,357 surgery centers in four separate specialty areas: Colonoscopy & Endoscopy, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics & Spine and Urology.
Ambulatory surgery centers were evaluated based on objective, risk-adjusted measures of their patients’ outcomes, including how successfully they avoided complications, ER visits, unplanned hospitalizations and other undesirable outcomes. To ensure fair comparisons among ambulatory surgery centers, the analysis accounted for each patient’s pre-existing conditions and other risk factors.
