Surgery Center of Idaho

What Surgery Center of Idaho does

Surgery Center of Idaho (SCI) is a physician-owned, AAAHC-accredited multispecialty ambulatory surgery center located on the Idaho Urologic Institute campus in Meridian, Idaho. Founded in 2005, SCI provides outpatient surgical care across three specialties: urology (via Idaho Urologic Institute, including da Vinci robotic surgery, FocalOne HIFU, and AltaViva implants), ophthalmology (vitreoretinal surgery via Retina Specialists of Idaho), and plastic surgery (facial procedures via Dr. Alan Gray). Anesthesia services are supplied by Anesthesiology Consultants of Idaho, a separate 11-physician group. The center supports ancillary capabilities such as PSMA/PET diagnostic imaging and a 'Care for the Whole Patient' service line introduced in 2024.

SCI's revenue model is transaction-based fee-for-service, billing patients and insurers at ASC rates that are materially below hospital-based outpatient department pricing. Patient financing is available via CareCredit for balances of $500 or more, and online bill pay is delivered through a My Medical Locker portal. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and referral-driven, anchored by the co-located Idaho Urologic Institute physician base and supplemented by regional physician referrals, local media presence, and the MedTalk Idaho educational podcast.

Ownership is held by the physician partners; no private equity, venture capital, or parent corporation is disclosed. Leadership is shared with Idaho Urologic Institute under CEO Erika Ferrozzo (appointed May 2021), with Medical Director Dr. Joseph H. Williams, Director of Operations Renee Hawkins, Surgical Services Manager Cami Caudill, and Business Service Manager Doug Dreibelbis. External validations include AAAHC accreditation, the 2024 US News & World Report Best ASC rating, and the 2025 Coloplast Center of Excellence award to Dr. Wade Muncey.

• Practice Partners in Healthcare: Physician-focused ASC management company operating single- and multi-specialty centers nationally. Directly comparable physician-aligned ASC platform of similar scale profile.

Broad incumbents

• HCA Healthcare: Largest U.S. for-profit hospital system with growing outpatient/ASC footprint. Competes for the same Treasure Valley outpatient surgical volumes through hospital outpatient departments and ASCs.
