Same Day Surgery Services at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton

At Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton, we know that when you must undergo a surgical procedure the last thing you want is an impersonal institutional environment and a lengthy hospital stay. That's why we offer advanced surgical expertise in a comfortable atmosphere and send you home safely the very same day of your procedure.

Our approach is founded on providing the top, Board Certified surgeons and endoscopists in the area, the most advanced technology and equipment available, and the convenience and peace of mind of returning to the comforts of home and support of family and friends on the same day.

Our surgical and endoscopic suites are located on the second floor of the Outpatient Services Building. This building is a technologically advanced, state-of-the-art facility, expressly designed to serve the same-day surgery and endoscopy patient.

The privacy, dignity and comfort of our patients is important to us, therefore, our facility was designed to care for you in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. For example: The waiting areas were thoughtfully designed to meet the special needs of our patients and their families; private cubicles were pleasantly decorated to help you relax peacefully, before your procedure and feature a cozy recliner and views of Martin Lake and Veterans park; and every surgery suite was planned, constructed and equipped to meet the exact specifications, set forth by our team of experienced surgeons. Our facility has a true, home away from home, atmosphere.
