Columbia Orthopedic’s ASC has been named a top ASC in the nation by Newsweek for three years in a row. 

“In traditional Columbia Orthopaedic Group fashion, our surgeons continue to deliver excellent care by safely transitioning appropriate surgical cases to the outpatient ASC arena where we can deliver an exceptional patient experience and value that is unmatched by many places in the country,” Andrew Lovewell, CEO of Columbia Orthopedic Group, told Becker’s.
