The Surgical Center at Columbia Orthopaedic Group is proud to announce that it has once again been recognized as one of Newsweek's America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers for 2027 for the 7th time!
This year's recognition places The Surgical Center at Columbia Orthopaedic Group among Newsweek's Top 5 ambulatory surgery centers in Missouri and the top 10% of centers nationwide, while also earning an Orthopedics Standout Specialty designation.
The recognition continues a remarkable history of national acknowledgment for The Surgical Center at Columbia Orthopaedic Group and reflects the work of an entire team committed to quality surgical care and an exceptional patient experience.
Newsweek presents the America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers ranking in collaboration with Statista. The 2027 ranking recognizes 750 leading ambulatory surgery centers across the United States.
How America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers Are Evaluated
Newsweek and Statista evaluate ambulatory surgery centers across four primary areas:
- Quality metrics
- Evaluations from peers
- Patient experience
- Accreditations
These factors are intended to identify centers that demonstrate high standards across both clinical and patient-care experiences.
For The Surgical Center at Columbia Orthopaedic Group, those priorities closely reflect what our team works toward every day.
Recognition Built by an Entire Team
A successful surgery involves far more than the procedure itself.
It begins before a patient enters the operating room and continues throughout preparation, surgery, recovery, and follow-up care.
That experience depends on physicians, nurses, surgical technicians, anesthesia teams, administrative staff, and many others working together toward the same goal: helping patients receive safe, high-quality care and return to the activities that matter most to them.
This Newsweek recognition belongs to that entire team.
It also reflects the trust patients throughout Mid-Missouri continue to place in The Surgical Center at Columbia Orthopaedic Group.
Continuing a Tradition of Excellence
Being included among America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers is an honor, but it also provides motivation to continue improving.
Every patient who walks through our doors deserves thoughtful communication, experienced surgical care, and a team committed to their safety and recovery.
Recognition from organizations such as Newsweek and Statista is meaningful because it reinforces the standards our physicians and staff work to uphold every day.
We are incredibly proud of our entire Surgical Center team and grateful to the patients who continue to trust us with their care.
Thank you to our physicians, nurses, staff, patients, and community for helping The Surgical Center at Columbia Orthopaedic Group continue its tradition of nationally recognized care.
