DOWNERS GROVE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / April 15, 2025 / Duly Health and Care is proud to announce that two of its ambulatory surgery centers, Duly Surgery Center Lombard and Duly Surgery Center Westmont, have been named to U.S. News and World Report's 2025 list of the Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers.
Duly Surgical Center Lombard was recognized for Colonoscopy & Endoscopy as well as Orthopedics & Spine, while Duly Surgery Center Westmont earned top marks in Orthopedics & Spine.
"This honor validates Duly's ongoing commitment to delivering outstanding patient outcomes in a safe and comfortable environment," said Dr. Paul Merrick, chief physician executive. "Through our ambulatory surgery centers, we're delivering more accessible, efficient, and patient-centered care. We are grateful to the physicians, nurses, and care teams who deliver this outstanding care every day. It's deeply rewarding to see their work recognized among the best in the nation."
U.S. News and World Report, in collaboration with CareJourney by Arcadia, evaluated over 4,300 surgery centers across four specialties, basing its ratings on objective, risk-adjusted measures of patient outcomes, including complication avoidance, reductions in emergency room visits, and fewer unplanned hospitalizations. To ensure fair comparisons among ambulatory surgery centers, the analysis accounted for each patient's pre-existing conditions and other risk factors. In all, fewer than 17% of evaluated centers earned a "Best Ambulatory Surgery Center" rating.
Duly's recognition from U.S. News and World Report reflects the medical practice's unwavering focus on delivering the highest quality care for patients in settings that best meet their needs.
"Our comprehensive spine surgery program is just one example of the advanced outpatient care we're proud to offer at Duly," said Dr. Ashish Patel, spine surgeon and chair of Duly's Spine Department. "Minimally invasive procedures in our surgery centers allow patients to recover faster in a setting designed around their comfort and safety. This recognition underscores the dedication of our entire surgical team-and I'm proud to work alongside colleagues who bring the same level of focus and excellence to every specialty we serve."
"U.S. News' second edition of the ambulatory surgery centers ratings empowers consumers to find a local outpatient facility that matches their surgical needs with exceptional outcomes," said Chelsey Wen, senior health data analyst at U.S. News. "These ratings help patients, in consultation with their doctors, choose facilities focused on quality and safety."
