Washington Outpatient Surgery Center

Established in April 1986, WOSC has been providing advanced surgical services in a convenient, comfortable outpatient setting for nearly four decades. The center offers surgical services across ten specialties, including Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT), Gastroenterology (GI), General Surgery, Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Pain Management, Plastic Surgery, Podiatry, and Urology. The facility is notably recognized for its state-of-the-art total joint replacement program utilizing the TMINI® Miniature Robotic System from THINK Surgical, a compact handheld wireless robotic platform enabling CT-based 3D surgical planning for personalized procedures. For nursing professionals, WOSC offers opportunities in a fast-paced outpatient surgical environment. The center employs Registered Nurses in roles such as Endoscopy RN, where nurses manage patient care across all perioperative phases including telephone pre-op evaluation, admitting, conscious sedation, recovery, and post-op follow-up calls. The ambulatory setting typically involves predictable daytime scheduling compared to inpatient hospital environments, though employee reviews suggest challenges related to work-life balance and compensation. The center maintains a philosophy that enables staff and physicians to collaboratively serve patient needs, emphasizing dignity and respect for patients and their families throughout the surgical experience.

The mission of Washington Outpatient Surgery Center is to provide the safest and highest quality of surgical care possible for patients in an ambulatory surgery center setting. This is achieved through a philosophy that enables staff and physicians to best serve the needs of patients and their families, with a commitment to respecting patient dignity and rights at all times.
