MESC is located on the lower level of the Midwest Eye Care building at 4353 Dodge Street in Omaha.  This ambulatory surgery center, certified by Medicare, Medicaid and the Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), provides the highest quality of care by focusing only on eye surgery. 

This facility was originally operated by NHS Clarkson Hospital from 1991 to 2000 and was certified by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the same organization that accredits the majority of hospitals in the United States.  In 2002, MESC was accredited by AAAHC for a three-year period, the longest accreditation period available.  MESC was re-accredited by AAAHC in 2005 for an additional three-year period.

MESC is able to offer convenient surgical services to its patients through a number of innovations, including:

• Advising your family physician to perform an abbreviated pre-operative history and physical exam that focuses on the limited risks of eye surgery;
• Expediting check-in and check-out procedures so that most patients spend less than three hours at our facility on surgery day.
• Utilizing a certified nurse anesthetist who provides anesthesia for over 1,500 eye surgeries each year and uniquely understands how to provide appropriate medication for eye surgery.
• Relying on registered nurses and operating room technicians who have decades of experience and are dedicated to providing care to eye surgery patients.

We are also continually striving to improve our care.  We distribute patient satisfaction surveys to 100% of our patients, and our quality assurance committee of physicians, nurses and anesthetists meets regularly to identify potential improvements.
