When you are in need of minor surgery that can be done on an outpatient basis and your doctor does not believe that you need to be admitted to a hospital for a few days, a surgical center is your answer. Facilities such as ours, which are also known as ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), offer services exclusively for surgeries that require a short stay. We offer same-day diagnostics services and surgical care. Paragon Surgical Center in Saint Thomas, VI is fully equipped to provide you with exceptional and comfortable care. And the best part - after your procedure, you go home the same day.
What is a surgical center?
Surgical centers provide the ease and convenience of same-day procedures. Because we are not a big hospital, you will find care that is more intimate and individualized as we take great concern with your comfort. We are a fully licensed, freestanding outpatient facility that provides a variety of surgeries every day. We are fully staffed with providers that will specially care for you from the moment your appointment begins through recovery.

How do I know if outpatient surgery is right for me?
Choosing a surgery center rather than going to a hospital is a big decision. It is one that we do not take lightly and will not make sure that you are an appropriate candidate before scheduling you for surgery with us. The appropriate candidate for a surgical center will have little expected chance of developing major complications during surgery. If you do not have a complex, risky case that would require extra, more complicated care during surgery, a surgical center may be the right choice. Also, if your doctor has recommended and agreed that surgery would be OK to be performed on an outpatient basis, choosing a surgical center for your procedure may save you a significant amount of time and money.
