Welcome to the Institute for Special Surgery

The Institute for Special Surgery (ISS) is a free-standing, ambulatory surgery center that was developed in 1999 by a small group of local physicians. Their goal was to have a convenient, patient-centered, efficient facility where they could provide personalized, quality care.

Since opening, ISS has provided outpatient surgical services to more than 26,000 people, achieving a high degree of patient satisfaction.

When you come to ISS for a procedure, we treat you as if you are the most important patient we’ve ever served – because you are. We hope you will feel comfortable enough to ask any of our staff members a question at any time during your stay with us.

Thank you for choosing the Institute for Special Surgery.
