At University Orthopaedic Associates (UOA), our mission has always been to provide the highest quality, most technologically advanced healthcare services. We are proud to announce that our surgery center, the University Center for Ambulatory Surgery (UCAS), has been officially recognized on the U.S. News & World Report “Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers” list.

Located on the third floor of our Somerset office, UCAS was evaluated alongside more than 4,000 centers nationwide. This prestigious ranking places our facility among the top tier of orthopaedic and spine ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) in the United States.

What This Means for Our Patients

This recognition is more than just a title; it is a reflection of our commitment to patient safety and clinical excellence. According to U.S. News data, patients at top-ranked spine and orthopaedic ASCs like UCAS experienced an average of a 29% lower severity-weighted complication rate compared to all other evaluated centers.

By performing complex procedures in a specialized, highly controlled environment, we are able to offer our patients:

• Superior Safety: Significantly lower complication rates than the national average.
• Expert Care: Specialized nursing and surgical staff dedicated exclusively to orthopaedic and spine health.
• Streamlined Recovery: A modern, outpatient setting designed to get you back on the move faster.

Whether you are visiting us for a routine procedure or a complex spine surgery, this honor reinforces that you are receiving care at one of the leading facilities in the country. We invite you to experience the award-winning care that keeps our patients in motion.
