The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) is the national body responsible for accrediting outpatient health care organizations and advocating for the provision of high-quality care through nationally recognized standards.
In 2021, after a process of rigorous professional scrutiny, Reno Orthopedic Surgery Center achieved its fifth, three-year AAAHC Accreditation with Medicare Deemed Status.

" From the moment I entered the outpatient center, I was kept informed of the entire process. I was escorted to the preop area and introduced to the staff that was going to take care of me. It was explained that post op, I would be returning to the same bed with the same caregivers. The continuity of care is critical in successful outcomes. Dr. Shukla, Davis Ayers, the anesthesiologist, physical therapist, radiology tech and all other personnel were friendly, informative and caring. Having had Physical Therapy immediately post op was helpful in ensuring that I could safely go home that day and proceed with recovery and rehab. The 'team' has perfected their process. Initially, I was a bit ambivalent to have a major surgery in an outpatient setting. However, the efficiency of the center dispelled all my concerns. I would highly recommend ROC Outpatient Surgery Center to anyone who is considering a surgery that can be done on an outpatient basis."
