Dental Surgery Center of Medina

The Dental Surgery Center of Medina, also referred to as Medina Surgical Center on its website, is a dedicated ambulatory surgery center located at 3613 Reserve Commons Dr, Medina, OH 44256. Established in early 2010 by a staff anesthesiologist from a local children's hospital, it was specifically designed to perform dental and oral/facial surgeries under general anesthesia, making it a pioneering facility of its kind in Northeast Ohio. This center offers a hospital-like setting for complex dental procedures, ensuring patients are "asleep" and do not feel pain during treatment. It is staffed by highly trained clinical professionals, including board-certified anesthesiologists, registered nurses, and LPNs, who provide continuous monitoring and care. The center prides itself on delivering a high level of patient care with a focus on discharging patients to their homes upon completion of surgery and recovery. The Dental Surgery Center of Medina is particularly beneficial for: Pediatric patients: Children who require significant dental work and may struggle to remain still or cooperative during procedures. Severely phobic adult patients: Individuals with extreme dental anxiety who benefit from general anesthesia to receive necessary treatment. Patients with special needs: Those who may be unable to remain still or have anxiety that prevents them from undergoing dental work in a traditional setting. Typical services performed at the center include filling cavities, placing crowns, and tooth extractions, all under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and safety. The facility is licensed by the Ohio Department of Health and has achieved the Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) Deemed Accreditation status through the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), signifying its adherence to high standards of safety and quality. The center operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Patients are typically contacted 1-3 days before their surgery by a surgical coordinator to confirm details and address any questions about medications or recent illnesses. The center emphasizes a patient-centered experience with shorter wait times and a more personalized approach compared to traditional hospital settings, often making it a more cost-effective option for procedures requiring general anesthesia.
