Ambulatory care (also called outpatient care) refers to any type of same-day medical procedure that is performed in an outpatient setting. It can occur in a wide variety of settings, including your PCP’s office, dialysis clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, or hospital outpatient centers.

We are pleased to offer on-site diagnostic services, which allows for immediate treatment recommendations. Our centers offer a wide variety of information to patients concerning serious conditions such as Hepatitis, Lyme disease, and many other acute problems.
Medical professionals who work in ambulatory care settings have the same qualifications as those who work in hospitals. Doctors, registered nurses, physical therapists, and surgical/laboratory technicians all work collaboratively to provide the same level of care a patient would receive in a hospital.
