Our Surgery Center

Operating Room

Dr. Goldberg can perform most cosmetic procedures in his private office operating room. This is a fully equipped, state-of-the-art operating facility that has been inspected and certified by the Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) and New York State. JCAHO is the same accrediting body that inspects and certifies all hospitals in America. Our board-certified plastic surgeon has an operating facility that meets all of the highest standards for safety during surgery.

Having your procedure in the office offers several advantages. The office is a convenient, familiar setting. You will be the only patient in the facility, so your procedure will be entirely discreet and you will have the full attention of our entire staff. You will be able to avoid the required early check-ins and administrative steps required in a hospital. Office-based surgery will also typically be far less expensive than having the same procedure performed in the hospital.

Anesthesia

In an office-based setting, enlisting the most experienced and qualified anesthesia providers is paramount. Our operating facility employs only the most highly trained board-certified anesthesiologists and nurses, and our team takes pride in the ability to provide safe and effective anesthesia options for all of our patients. Our head anesthesiologist, Dr. Joel Greenspan, is fully board certified and has over 30 years of experience with office-based surgery. Dr. Greenspan is highly skilled in minimizing post-op nausea and pain so you can feel as good as possible, as fast as possible. In addition, all surgical and recovery nurses are RNs with operating room, recovery room, or ICU experience.

Benefits of Choosing a Practice with an On-Site Anesthesiologist

Dr. Goldberg works with only board-certified anesthesiologists in all settings, whether your procedure is performed in a hospital or office-based environment. With this in mind, patients can feel confident that they’re under the care of an anesthesiologist who has obtained the highest standards of training and experience in their field. Some advantages of having an anesthesiologist on-site during your procedure include:

Dr. Goldberg and head anesthesiologist Joel Greenspan, MD decide together which cases are best suited for office-based surgery or undergoing the procedure in the hospital.

This is a fully equipped and AAAASF-accredited facility where all of the highest standards of safety are maintained.
