Scripps Ambulatory Surgery Centers

Scripps offers outpatient (same-day) surgery at four centers in San Diego

If you or a loved one needs surgery, you’ll find the latest minimally invasive options at Scripps. Many conditions can now be treated with ambulatory surgery, also known as outpatient surgery or same-day surgery. This means you can go home the same day you have your procedure, instead of staying overnight in the hospital. 


Scripps offers outpatient procedures at our hospitals and at four accredited ambulatory surgery centers in Carmel Valley, La Jolla, Rancho Bernardo and San Diego (Hillcrest).
