Vanguard Surgical

What Vanguard Surgical does

Vanguard Surgical Center is a single-location, multi-specialty ambulatory surgery center (ASC) operating at 113 W. Essex Street in Maywood, New Jersey. The facility provides outpatient surgical procedures across specialties including general surgery, orthopedics, and pain management, with a focus on minimally invasive interventions suitable for same-day discharge. It is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, fully licensed by the State of New Jersey, and Medicare-certified, and it operates under a physician ownership model in which referring physicians may hold an investment interest.

The center is part of the United Surgical Partners International (USPI) network, one of the largest ASC operators in the United States, which provides operational infrastructure and brand affiliation. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by physician referrals, supported by in-network participation with eight major health plans (Amerigroup, Aetna, Amerihealth, Cigna, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Qualcare, and United Health/Oxford). Revenue is generated through facility fees for outpatient procedures, with separate billing for physician professional services, anesthesia, and pathology—an arrangement consistent with standard ASC economics.

Supporting digital services include online bill pay, a physician finder directory, and structured pre- and post-procedure patient education resources delivered through the facility's website. Operating hours are Monday-Friday 6:00am-4:30pm, and the facility maintains a small staff (1-10 employees). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; uninsured patients receive Good Faith Estimates as required by federal law. The business is private, physician-owned, and shows no documented funding, M&A, or leadership change activity in the input data.
