At Northwest Hospital & Medical Center, the North Seattle Surgery Center (NSSC) serves the patient who has surgery and returns home on the same day. This allows for minimal disruption in your personal routine and promotes rest and recovery in the comfort of your own home.

Our modern day surgery facility is located at 10330 Meridian Ave. North, and is easy to find from I-5. The entire NSSC staff is committed to helping you return to normal health as quickly as possible.

Your Surgical Experience
Prior to surgery, you will be given specific instructions by your physician and the pre-admission nurse that you need to adhere to carefully. If these instructions are not followed, your surgery may have to be postponed.

During your visit to NSSC, a family member or friend can be with you in the pre-surgical area before surgery and in the recovery area later. We welcome the opportunity to include your friend or family member when we explain how you should care for yourself at home.

When you are ready to leave, your physician or nurse will give specific instructions on how to care for yourself at home and who to call if you have problems. An NSSC nurse will call you within 48 hours of your return home to follow up on your recovery.
