Advance Directives
Advance Directives allow patients to make their own decisions regarding the care they would prefer to receive, if they develop a terminal illness or life-threatening injury. They can also designate someone the patient trusts to make decisions about medical care, if the patient becomes unable to make or communicate these decisions.
Policy on Advance Directives
Unlike a hospital, the surgery center does not routinely perform high risk procedures on patients with life-threatening conditions. Patients have their procedure and are expected to return home the same day. Therefore, the surgery center does not accept Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) Advance Directive
All patients have a right…

Dear Patient:
Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) are medical facilities that specialize in performing outpatient surgical procedures. ASCs play a pivotal role in moving services into less expensive yet clinically appropriate settings. ASC-qualified procedures can be considered more intensive than those done in the average doctor’s office but not so intensive, as to require a hospital stay. Patient safety is the cornerstone of high–quality surgical services that is why Schaumburg Surgery Center is licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health, certified by Medicare and accredited.
Schaumburg Surgery Center, LLC takes great pride in being a physician-owned surgery center with the goal of making every patient visit a positive experience.

Barrington Orthopedic Specialists (BOS), Immediate Orthopedic Care (IOC) along with the Schaumburg Surgery Center (SSC) are taking all necessary steps to protect our patients and staff from the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
During this time, we are COVID testing patients having surgeries scheduled with General or MAC anesthesia. Our Pre-Admission Testing Nurse will reach out to patients to setup an appointment for COVID testing prior to surgery. COVID testing must be done 3 days before the date of surgery. All patients are screened by phone for exposure to the virus, or symptoms associated with the virus. If you have known exposure, waiting results of COVID-19 test, or have a fever, cough, or shortness of breath, we ask you do not schedule an appointment for 5 days, or obtain a negative test result. If you are unsure if you should be seen, please call our office at (847) 285-4350 and we will help make that determination with you.
Masking will be voluntary for patients, visitors, and staff. If positivity rates return to High, on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, Schaumburg Surgery Center reserves the right to resume mandatory masking. In addition, we are allowing the patient to bring only 1 additional visitor with them to their surgery. If you need additional visitors such as a translator, caregiver, and/ or discussing surgical care, you may do so.
After you schedule your surgery and you start to experience any symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, please call us at 847-285-4350 to reschedule your appointment.
These unprecedented times require extraordinary actions to help keep patients and staff safe and help reduce the spread of the virus. We ask for your patience and to join us in the recommended practices to limit risks.
It is extremely important to us, and our community, that we all do our part. We will continue to keep you informed. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns. Our patients and community health are our top priority.
Sincerely,
Schaumburg Surgery Center
