Choosing where to have surgery is an important decision. For many patients, an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) offers meaningful advantages over a traditional hospital setting. At Iowa City Ambulatory Surgical Center (ICASC), we provide high-quality surgical care in a setting designed to support comfort, clarity, and peace of mind.

Award-Winning Care, Centered on You

At ICASC, we are proud to be recognized for clinical excellence, but what matters most is how patients feel in our care. We maintain a 4.8-star satisfaction rating and have earned honors from Newsweek, the APEX Quality Award, and full accreditation from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).

These recognitions reflect what our patients often tell us: they feel supported, respected, and confident in the care they receive. If you are comparing your options, we are here to help you feel informed and comfortable at every step.

Lower Costs with Clear Information
The cost difference between ASC vs hospital surgery can be significant. At ICASC, our pricing is often much lower than what patients would pay for the same procedure at a hospital. We offer transparent surgical care that Iowa patients can trust, with payment plans, cash discounts, and flexible billing options.

Less Waiting, More Comfort
Hospitals manage a wide range of inpatient and emergency needs, which can lead to longer wait times and more complex logistics. ICASC is designed for outpatient care. Patients benefit from shorter check-in times, a quieter environment, and a care team that specializes in same-day procedures.

We also offer flexible scheduling and a clear recovery plan, so you can return home the same day with confidence in your next steps and ongoing support.
