On December 29, 2011, the Summit Medical Group Ambulatory Surgery Center treated its 10,000th patient, Gregory DeAngelis. Under the care of Summit Medical Group orthopedic surgeon David D. Bullek, MD, Mr. DeAngelis received surgery to repair a meniscal tear in his knee. Dr. Bullek said that Mr. DeAngelis would be walking the day after his 20- to 30-minute procedure. He added that his patient would likely return to work soon.
Summit Medical Group Ambulatory Surgery Center Director Roy Naturman, MD, notes, "We are pleased to have had the honor of caring for so many patients this year." Dr. Naturman adds, "Among the many benefits that distinguish our Ambulatory Surgery Center is that each of our patients has access to our outstanding specialists as well as our comprehensive Imaging/Radiology and Urgent Care Center services." He adds, "Our complication rates are extremely low and we take pride knowing that each of our patients receives expert care from our skilled physician, nursing, and administrative staff."
