"With the move to the new surgery and emergency services pavilion, patients gain the convenience of one-stop check-in, beautifully appointed waiting areas, a well-lighted atrium and a nearby cafeteria — in addition to specialists and state-of-the art technical capabilities for all areas of surgery, from bariatric to burn, cardiothoracic to cancer."
UC Davis Medical Center's new surgery and emergency services pavilion is equipped with the most sophisticated patient-care and information-technology resources, providing patients one of the most technologically advanced hospitals in the country. In addition to the pavilion, facilities include outpatient surgical services at the Lawrence J. Ellison Ambulatory Care Center, the adjacent Same Day Surgery Center, and several other convenient locations.

Same Day Surgery Center
Located just blocks from the UC Davis Medical Center, and directly adjacent to the Lawrence J. Ellison Ambulatory Care Center, the Same Day Surgery Center compliments the hospital’s main operating rooms by providing a convenient outpatient setting for low-risk, high-volume and noninvasive surgeries. The facility opened in 2007 and can handle at least 30 cases a day, with a majority of patients being treated by specialists from the departments of ophthalmology, orthopaedics, otolaryngology and plastic surgery.
