An Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) should absolutely have a website in today’s healthcare environment. Even when procedures are referral-based, patients routinely search online for the facility name, read reviews, verify credentials, and look for practical information such as location, parking, and pre-operative instructions. Without a professional website, patients may feel uncertain about the legitimacy or quality of the center. A well-designed site builds credibility by highlighting accreditations from respected organizations such as The Joint Commission and Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, outlining safety standards, showcasing physician partnerships, and communicating quality measures.

Beyond trust-building, a website improves operational efficiency by providing easy access to patient forms, insurance information, FAQs, and pre- and post-operative instructions, which can significantly reduce administrative phone calls and improve patient preparedness. It also supports referring physicians by clearly listing specialties, capabilities, and contact information. From a marketing and visibility standpoint, a website ensures the ASC appears in local search results when patients look for outpatient or same-day surgery options in their area. Even in cases where an ASC is hospital-owned or referral-exclusive, having at least a dedicated webpage remains important for transparency and patient confidence.
