Outpatient Surgery Center of Boca

What Outpatient Surgery Center of Boca does

Outpatient Surgery Center of Boca is a freestanding ambulatory surgery center (ASC) founded in 1998 in Boca Raton, Florida, specializing in ophthalmic surgical procedures. The center operates as part of the AMSURG national ASC network and is staffed by six board-certified ocular surgeons (Howard Goldman, Richard Kalski, Douglas Kohl, Tatiana Lee-Chee, Mark Weiner, Matthew Weiss), many of whom hold equity ownership and serve as referral sources. The center was the first in Palm Beach County to deploy LenSx femtosecond laser technology for cataract surgery and offers one of the few South Florida locations performing Custom Laser Cataract Surgery.

The facility provides a full-spectrum ophthalmic surgery menu, including traditional and laser-assisted cataract surgery with phacoemulsification and advanced-technology IOLs (monofocal, toric, multifocal); refractive procedures (LASIK, PRK, EVO ICL); glaucoma treatments spanning MIGS (Trabectome, Kahook Dual Blade, microstents), laser therapy, and traditional filtration surgery; corneal transplants (PK, DSAEK); vitrectomy; and oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery (blepharoplasty, ptosis correction). Patient satisfaction scores range from 92–95% across surveys. The center holds AAAHC voluntary accreditation, CMS Medicare certification, and Florida state ASC licensure.

Revenue is generated on a transactional basis through insurance reimbursement (the center bills most major carriers directly and accepts patient co-pays at time of service) and self-pay arrangements. Patients without insurance can access online bill payment via InstaMed, finance procedures through CareCredit, or apply for charity care and payment plans. Average ASC cataract surgery cost is $2,922 versus $5,903 in hospital outpatient departments, a structural cost advantage the center leverages for patient acquisition. Dr. Howard Goldman alone performs over 1,000 microsurgical procedures annually; total center throughput is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on physician referrals, digital content marketing (website, SEO, social media), and patient testimonials, with no disclosed enterprise customer relationships.
