The last week in April 2009 marked the Samuel Wells Surgicenter's successful 21st annual inspection by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). The Samuel Wells Surgicenter by Dr. Lewis Obi was the first licensed and comprehensive plastic surgery center in the state of Florida and it continues to provide quality care in a safe environment. Because the Samuel Wells Surgicenter is a licensed center, compared to an accredited center, it must maintain a higher level of staffing and physical plant requirements.
Ambulatory Surgery Center in Jacksonville, Florida
The Samuel Wells Surgicenter is a fully licensed Ambulatory Surgery Center in Jacksonville, Florida. This licensure, the highest standard of patient care and safety for outpatient surgery, is reviewed and maintained annually by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA).
Our caring and dedicated plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery staff includes registered nurses with advanced cardiac life support certification, scrub technicians, medical assistants and administrative personnel. The entire plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery team maintains a high-level of proficiency through seminars, instructional courses and continuing medical education programs. Since cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery is a highly personal procedure, confidentiality is a top-priority among all surgery center personnel.
Our uniquely-private ambulatory surgery center in Jacksonville, Florida will provide you with the highest quality of care and personal attention when choosing to have your cosmetic renewal services performed there. In addition to the skills of our Jacksonville plastic surgeon, Dr. Obi, the patient's realistic expectations about the results of the surgery and his/her general emotional state are also important considerations. Mental attitude is as important as the ability to heal in evaluating candidates for plastic surgery. Secondary consultations, at no expense to the patient, are sometimes advisable.
The surgery center includes a four bed recovery room designed to provide exceptional medical care in a safe and relaxing environment. Patients requiring additional care after discharge, or those from out-of-town, may request to be cared for postoperatively by a staff registered nurse or an experienced sitter. There are suitable lodging facilities in close proximity to the clinic where these patients can receive total care including meals and transportation. If this is an option you are interested in when choosing plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery, please let Dr. Obi know this during your consultation, our office will be more than happy to help you make these accomodations.
