Prepared To Care
As Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to create a sense of uncertainty, what remains steadfast and true is Mountain Surgery Center's dedication to serve and care for you - our patients, visitors, and physicians. It is important for us to share with you all the precautions, procedures, and best practices that Mountain Surgery Center has put in place so that you can feel the most at ease. As always, our center works to foster the best care for all patients by offering access to quality, affordable, convenient outpatient surgical procedures.
Salvatore Mastroeni, Administrator at Mountain Surgery Center, had this to say regarding the effect of COVID-19 on healthcare and procedures:
"We took responsibility for implementing strict protocols and procedures for our patients and staff to ensure the safety of all individuals. We want our patients and performing physicians to feel the most at ease and extremely comfortable during your time at Mountain Surgery Center. Rest assured that every measure possible is being taken to maintain your safety and well-being."
We understand that these are difficult times and can sympathize with the fear you may be experiencing when deciding on the right place of care. At Mountain Surgery Center, our environment is self-contained, directly reducing the risk of Coronavirus (COVID-19) positive patients as compared to a hospital. Moreover, our facility is thoroughly cleaned from ceiling to floor in-between each procedure and at the end of every day. Our center wants to offer you the peace of mind you deserve as our dedicated staff members are there to personally assist you with any worries you may have
To our physicians and professional staff: we continuously strive to provide you with a convenient, clean, and efficient surgery center experience. Mountain Surgery Center is a fully equipped and fully licensed facility that will allow you to serve your patients in a private environment that prioritizes social distancing - reducing the risk of exposure. Our facility hosts a 14,000 square foot space including four interactive operating rooms and 20 preoperative and post-operative beds. Our specialties include but are not limited to pain management, spine surgery, orthopedic procedures, and podiatry. Furthermore, our trained and dependable staff are available to accommodate and support your needs, whatever they may be. It is our mission to work with integrity, synergy, and the highest professional standards during these trying times.
It is our duty to be proactive in order to help protect and stop the spread of COVID-19. To ensure the safety of our patients, visitors, and team members, we are taking the following precautions:
Screening all patients, visitors, and team members for symptoms and exposure risks
If you are under self-quarantine, have a fever, or cough, you will be prohibited to enter the facility - please note that this policy is put in place to protect the well-being of all individuals.
Please be advised that upon entering a mask must be worn at all times.
It is our facility policy to obtain and document temperatures of all individuals entering Mountain Surgery Center
Limiting visitors to 1 person per patient
At this time, no visitors will be allowed into the pre-operative or PACU areas
Additionally, we are paying close attention to the CDC guidelines and the NJ Department of Health websites, which have up to date information for the general public. The well-being of our patients, visitors, and team members are of the utmost importance to Mountain Surgery Center and we thank you deeply for the continued trust to serve and care for you.
