About Surgery Center of Southern Oregon

The Surgery Center of Southern Oregon (SCSO) was established in 1997 to better meet the needs of the patients in Southern Oregon and Northern California who require outpatient surgery. Our goal is to provide our patients with the best quality surgical care with convenience, cooperation, efficiency, and cost effectiveness in a comfortable and pleasant outpatient environment. Our facility in Medford Oregon combines the most advanced technology, treatment, advanced surgery techniques, and physician expertise in the most cost effective setting. In addition, our facility is designed to minimize the stress associated with traditional surgery settings. Surgery Center of Southern Oregon is AAAHC accredited, which is the highest level of accreditation for ambulatory surgery centers. To pass this accreditation, rigid standards must be met in patient safety, infection control, anesthesia services, instrumentation, and quality controls.

An average one hour surgical procedure will take approximately 3-4 hours from admission to discharge. An average Endoscopy procedure is less than 2 hours.
