What Premier Surgery Center of Santa Maria does

Premier Surgery Center of Santa Maria is a physician-owned outpatient ambulatory surgery center (ASC) located at 816 E. Enos Drive in Santa Maria, California, founded in 2007. The facility provides same-day elective surgical care across three specialties: ophthalmology (cataract, pterygium, strabismus repair, YAG laser, and implant procedures), otorhinolaryngology (ear, nose, throat, head and neck, and facial reconstructive surgery), and retinal surgery (pars plana vitrectomy, gas/fluid exchange, scleral buckle, anterior vitrectomy). Its operating model is built on the physician-ownership structure, which gives participating surgeons direct control over staff selection, equipment, and clinical methodologies, and is positioned to deliver the full surgical experience in under four hours with same-day discharge.

The center serves patients across Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, accepting referrals from the regional surgeon community and direct appointment requests via phone. It bills most major insurance providers directly and collects patient co-pays, deductibles, and co-insurance at the time of service, with additional out-of-pocket charges for premium procedure upgrades such as upgraded cataract surgery. Payment is supported through InstaMed's online bill-pay portal along with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, CareCredit, personal checks, and cash.

The business is small (11-50 employees), operates from a single facility, and markets itself primarily through its website, a Facebook page, and email newsletters, with remarketing audiences built via Google Analytics, Google AdWords, and Facebook/LinkedIn Custom Audiences. Revenue is not disclosed; there are no funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, parent entities, or publicly named management team members in the source material.
