Ambulatory Surgery Center

What Ambulatory Surgery Center does

Ambulatory Surgery Center of Greater New York, LLC is a private, founder-controlled ambulatory surgery center located at 1101 Pelham Parkway North in the Bronx, New York. Founded in 1987 by Dr. Jerome H. Levy as one of the first ASCs licensed in the State of New York under Article 28, the facility operates two surgical suites and one dedicated laser room, performing more than 7,000 ophthalmic procedures annually and over 91,000 procedures across the past decade for patients drawn from the five boroughs and Westchester County. Its clinical focus is outpatient ophthalmology, including cataract removal, vitreoretinal surgery, and glaucoma treatments, supported by best-in-class surgical hardware from Alcon (Infiniti phacoemulsification, Constellation vision system), Zeiss (Lumera microscopes), Lumenis, Laserex, and EndoOptiks.

The center generates revenue through surgical procedure fees billed primarily to third-party payers under insurance contracts covering Medicare, Medicaid, 1199 National Benefit Fund, Aetna, Cigna, Empire Blue Cross, GHI, HIP, Oxford, United Healthcare, and other commercial insurers. Patient intake flows primarily through direct referrals from affiliated ophthalmic surgeons and through insurance network participation, supported by multi-lingual reception and pre/post-operative staff, coordinated patient transportation, and complimentary on-site parking. The facility maintains continuous AAAHC accreditation since 1990 on three-year cycles and is certified by CMS, with governance held by founder Dr. Jerome H. Levy (Medical Director, OOSS President Emeritus) and Erin Duffy, R.N. as Administrator since inception.

Operationally, the center emphasizes a standardized admission-to-discharge cycle typically completed within three hours, optimized OR turnover, and a "State of the Art Technology, State of the Heart Philosophy" care model. Distribution is regional, anchored in the New York metro area, with no publicly disclosed revenue or funding data and no parent company or institutional investors identified. Recent activity includes a 2025 research grant partnership through an affiliated Ambulatory Neurosurgery Center (ANSC™) brand with UB Neurosurgery and NOVA Neuro to develop artificial intelligence for brain aneurysm risk assessment, representing an exploratory adjacent initiative rather than a core operational expansion of the ophthalmic business.

Broad incumbents

• Surgery Partners: Public ASC operator running a national network of surgical facilities, including short-stay and ophthalmic surgery centers. Highly comparable business model and end-market to ASC of Greater New York, with substantially greater scale and capital access.
• AMSURG (Envision Healthcare): Operates a large portfolio of ambulatory surgery centers, with a strong ophthalmology focus historically. Comparable outpatient surgical platform with similar payer mix and procedure economics.
• Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital (MEETH): Long-established NYC specialty hospital delivering high-volume ophthalmology outpatient surgery. Comparable procedures and payer mix, with broader institutional backing relative to the subject company.
• United Surgical Partners International (USPI): One of the largest ASC operators in the U.S., majority-owned by Tenet Healthcare. Operates hundreds of ambulatory surgery centers including ophthalmology-focused sites, making it a directly comparable scaled platform to a single-site ophthalmology ASC.
• New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai: Specialty hospital in NYC with comprehensive ophthalmology and ambulatory surgery programs. Provides the same ophthalmic surgical procedures as the subject company but as a hospital-affiliated setting, representing a higher-acuity incumbent competitor in the same market.
