Barkley Surgicenter, Southern Crescent Endoscopy Clinch Top Honors in Ambulatory Surgery Centers 2024 Ranking

United Digestive proudly announces that two of its ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) have secured a spot on Newsweek’s America’s Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers 2024 ranking. For the fourth consecutive year, Newsweek has created this list to help readers make more knowledgeable choices among the more than 5,000 Medicare-certified ASCs in the U.S. The 2024 Newsweek ‘Best Of’ list is a rigorous evaluation of ASCs nationwide, acknowledging standout performers through a meticulous assessment of care quality, performance metrics, and peer recommendations.

The two United Digestive centers on the list are:

• Barkley Surgicenter, Gastroenterology Associates of Southwest Florida
• Southern Crescent Endoscopy Center, Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates

These centers are focused on providing surgical services to patients who do not require hospitalization, with a projected service duration of less than 24 hours after admission.

“We are delighted to see our ASCs earn their well-deserved spots on Newsweek’s ‘Best of’ list,” said Neal C. Patel, MD, President of United Digestive. “This achievement underscores our commitment to providing best-in-class GI care and is a testament to the dedication and tireless efforts of our providers and clinical operations team.”
