hen our ENT practice decided to build a stand-
alone surgery center in late 2017, we knew it
would be a significant project. Although our sur-
geons had access to high-quality and efficient
ambulatory surgical facilities, a number of the
younger doctors backed the idea of opening our own surgery center.
There were a number of factors contributing to our overall hesitancy
to build new, not the least of which was being able to find a suitable
location that was easily accessible to our patients and surgeons.
