Specialty Hospitals: A Wave of the Future

Black Hills Surgery Center (BHSC) is able to avoid obstacles that the traditional hospital may face. It is much more difficult for a traditional hospital with a large volume of patients and an older facility to offer such amenities.

Black Hills Surgery Center is fortunate to have the ability to offer a lot to our patients. You are our guest and we want to pull out all the stops for you. Aside from the hotel-like experience at the center, there are no long waits since BHSC physicians have better access to operating rooms and can often get patients into their facility faster. Newer equipment affords doctors the best 'eyes' possible to detect a problem and help them find the most efficacious treatment. Our surgeons are considered the most prominent in the Rapid City area.

Below are more reasons doctors refer Black Hills Surgery Center to their patients:

Insurers cover the costs

For many reasons, insurers are also in favor of specialty hospitals. Since a new specialty hospital can be built for the most current technology, without the cost of retrofitting. The lower surgical costs are passed on to the insurance company.

Convenience to you and your insurer

Red tape is reduced since instead of having to wade through the hospital admitting process for a simple procedure or diagnostic test, a specialty hospital can streamline the process, eliminating much of the unnecessary paperwork.

Comfort and calm

Surgery can be stressful, why make it a worse experience with sterile clinical tiled walls and other images that take you out of your comfort zone? Instead, a hotel-like atmosphere can be relaxing making the patient better prepared for their surgery.

Anesthesia Services

Superior anesthesia services are provided by Anesthesia Solutions, P.C., an anesthesia services group comprised of three MD - anesthesiologists and fifteen Certified Register Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). Each anesthetic is tailored to the individual patient's need. Special care is exercised to allay anxiety, minimize discomfort and prevent post-operative nausea. As self-employed practitioners, our anesthesia providers know the value of providing superior care, attention to detail and a comfortable anesthetic experience.

Hospitalist Service

A Hospitalist is a doctor of Internal Medicine who specializes in over seeing the care of patients while hospitalized. When a patient enters Black Hills Surgery Center or at any time during their stay, Hospitalist services are available when ordered by the surgeon. The Hospitalist closely monitors the patient's progress in order to keep the patient, their surgeon, and their primary care doctor informed of all major decisions made on behalf of the patient.

The exceptional skill of our surgical team, higher level of staffing with Registered Nurses, and the quality medical care provided by Hospitalists contribute to positive patient outcomes: lower infection rates, shorter lengths of stay, and improved delivery of care that meets both the patient and the family needs.
