Colon Cancer Mortality Doubles if You Skip Your Colonoscopy

I had a procedure done here on April 30th, 2021. I was very nervous as I never had anesthesia before. From the moment I stepped in everyone was very patient, kind and very professional. I hope people working there know how grateful each of us is for their work and for who they are. Thank you very much💗

Had hernia surgery yesterday (July 12, 2021). I rarely write reviews, but the Maryland Surgery Center is such an exceptional place I just had to. All the staff, nurses, surgery techs, doctors are so friendly and helpful. I came from out of state and this was my 1st surgery so I was nervous. They made me feel comfortable in everyway. Everyone there is so professional but also so kind and caring. Thanks MSC!

I really enjoyed my experience with the Maryland Surgery Center. I traveled from Savannah, Georgia for surgery and was able to travel back home the next morning. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure I was prepared. I give them 5 stars!
