Why Choose Us?

Surgical Specialty Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania offers a spacious, up-to-date ambulatory surgery center. We welcome the surgeons of Kingston Surgery Center, who merged their center with ours in March 2016. Kingston Surgery Center has a long history in our community. It was the very first outpatient surgery center in Pennsylvania, built in 1984.

United, we form a team of experienced and highly skilled surgeons offering dentistry, ENT, general surgery, ophthalmology, orthopedics, pain management and podiatry. We are proud to be named a Cataract Innovator, one of less than twenty centers in the United States recognized for superior patient care.

Our patients have highly rated the care they have received from our doctors and staff and say they are likely to recommend our center for outpatient procedures. See what patients had to say.

My fiance was supposed to have cataract surgery Friday. He's been waiting to get this cataract surgery since January. He was sent home first time from this center. The second time his surgery was canceled for Friday. Doesn't matter because he wasn't cleared for the surgery by physician assistant because his A1c was an 8. His primary doctor did not require blood work the first time. He went to office upset and they did not give him an explanation unprofessional. I'm a nurse I called the center to ask what were the risk of cataract with an A1c of 8? Which has nothing to do with cataract I was not on the list to receive info which was fine it's Hippa violation. He let's me handle everything so It doesn't matter. The nurse I talked to had an attitude so I returned the favor. He has to walk around with cataract for months again. Everytime he looks forward to surgery here its always something the fact that it was canceled. He will be switching his doctor and will be receiving surgery soon again!

I have called this center 3 times for Dr. Lutz to do my cataract surgery and wanted to know if they can talk with him. I left messages no call back I'm 35 with cataract in my right eye and need this procedure done! I went in before and anesthesia wouldn't sign off on it for reasons I already know but this will not harm me in any way. They will rather have me walk around blind. I also can't enjoy certain things that is also a problem when it is blurry this can be done and still waiting on response.

Considering you're there for surgery, it was a great experience. The staff members are professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, and they make you feel like you're the most important person at that time. Very friendly, explained everything thoroughly, and answered all questions. They're great!
