U.S. News & World Report Names Hunterdon Center for Surgery Among 2025 Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers

March 19, 2025

Hunterdon Center for Surgery has been recognized among the Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers in U.S. News & World Report’s latest study. 

U.S. News’ second annual ratings offer Americans data-driven insights into their local ambulatory surgery center to inform their choices for quality outpatient surgery centers. In collaboration with Care Journey by Arcadia, U.S. News evaluated 4,357 surgery centers nationwide across four separate specialty areas. Hunterdon Center for Surgery has been identified as a Best Ambulatory Surgery Center for Ophthalmology.

Ambulatory surgery centers were evaluated entirely on objective, risk-adjusted measures of their patients’ outcomes, including how successfully they avoided complications, ER visits, unplanned hospitalizations, and other undesirable outcomes. To ensure fair comparisons among ambulatory surgery centers, the analysis accounted for each patient’s pre-existing conditions and other risk factors. U.S. News recognizes only the highest-rated surgery centers in each specialty that satisfy U.S. News' statistical assessment of performance; fewer than 17% of evaluated facilities earned a Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers rating for the 2025 study.

"Since its inception in the mid-1990s, The Hunterdon Center For Surgery has been unwavering in its commitment to delivering high-quality outpatient surgical care to the residents of Hunterdon County. The center offers services in multiple specialties, including Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Pain Management, Otolaryngology, General Surgery, Urology, Gynecology, Plastic Surgery, and Oral Surgery. We are now honored to be recognized by US News and World Report as one of the country's top facilities in ophthalmologic surgery, an honor directly attributable to leadership and hard-working staff who insist upon maintaining consistent standards of excellence,” Stanley Sheft, MD, FACS, Medical Director, Hunterdon Center for Surgery. 

“U.S. News’ second edition of the ambulatory surgery centers ratings empower consumers to find a local outpatient facility that matches their surgical needs with exceptional outcomes,” said Chelsey Wen, senior health data analyst at U.S. News. “These ratings help patients, in consultation with their doctors, choose facilities focused on quality and safety.”

Hunterdon Center for Surgery is located in the Wescott Medical Arts Building in Flemington and provides patients with outpatient surgery in a state-of-the-art facility.  

Dr. Emily Moriarty, Dr. Paul Phillips, and Dr. Joan Lee of Paul Phillips Eye & Surgery Center are honored to be part of the team at Hunterdon Center for Surgery to receive U.S. News' highest possible rating, "High Performing", for Best Ophthalmology. The Center's team of highly skilled surgeons, nurses, and support staff are committed to maintaining the highest standards of patient care and safety, stated Paul Phillips, MD, Ophthalmologist, Paul Phillips Eye & Surgery Center.
