A gastroenterologist and pain medicine physicians are opening an ASC in Southold, N.Y., according to the Shelter Island Reporter.
It took the two physicians four years to develop the center, after filing applications with the city, state and county, attending hearings and scheduling inspections. The physicians said they developed the center to keep up with rising healthcare costs and the shift to outpatient care.
The physicians, who also practice at Stony Brook (N.Y.) Eastern Long Island Hospital, plan to start taking patients by mid-March.
