The Surgery Center of Oklahoma received news this week that our accreditation has been extended for another three years. This is the biggest “thumbs up” that the accrediting body can give a facility like ours. We received the best marks in all categories with no deficiencies, having been surveyed by two examiners for two days last month. The examiners were particularly impressed with the roominess of our facility, the cleanliness, our low infection rate and our having posted our prices online. Also noted by them was the incredibly low turnover of staff. The nurses and techs that work at our facility love their jobs and it shows. This extension of our accreditation is a tribute to all of our staff, our head nurse, Marilyn Robertson, in particular…thank you Marilyn for guiding us through the process. Every attention to detail by all of our staff has resulted in a level of care rendered such that the standards that accreditation agencies set for us are far below what we demand and expect from ourselves.
Hats off to the staff. As I have said before, I have never worked with a finer group of individuals.
G. Keith Smith, M.D.

Dr. Smith,
We would not love working there if it wasn’t for you! It makes all the difference having leaders who care, support and expect the best!
