A new ambulatory surgery center is coming to Bowling Green. Tristar Greenview in partnership with Graves-Gilbert Clinic broke ground Wednesday on a new facility off Lovers Lane.
Dr. Kamal Singh practices general medicine and says the facility will include three operating suites and areas for other procedures.
"We will be at par with all of the other metropolitan areas as far as the sophistication of the equipment and the quality of care," Singh told WKU Public Radio. "Rather than going through the bureaucracy of a hospital, it will be more like a doctor's office experience."Dr. Singh says the ambulatory surgery center will provide lower costs for patients and insurance companies by avoiding facility charges at hospitals.
The 14,000 square-foot surgery center will open next summer and will be the first of its kind in Warren County.
The facility expects to see more than 2,700 patients in its first year, 60-percent of whom would be from Warren County.
The center will be located next to Western Kentucky Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Associates.
