Frequent Ask Questions (FAQs)

Who do I contact if I have questions?
Please contact the Surgery Center of Oklahoma at (405) 475-0600 and let the receptionist know you have a question about the website. We welcome your calls. You can email Dr. Keith Smith with questions as well.
How long is the quoted price valid?
Quotes are valid for 60 days.
What if I see the physician and he doesn't believe I am a surgical candidate?
Included in our package price is a $200 surgical consultation fee. If you are not a candidate for surgery, you are only responsible for the consultation fee.
Who will I pay?
All payments are made to Atlas Billing Company with the exception of the surgical consultation fee. This will be due and collected at the surgeon’s office.
What methods of payment are acceptable?
To keep our prices as low as possible, cashier’s checks or cash are the methods preferred. Credit cards are accepted on a case by case basis. Human resource departments or divisions of self-insured companies can make other arrangements if necessary.
Can payment arrangements be made?
Payment in full is required at the time service is rendered. No payment arrangements can be made. These deeply-discounted prices are otherwise not available.
How will a surgeon be selected for me?
If the patient doesn’t have a preference, an appropriate surgeon will be selected from our qualified staff.
Do I need to bring a companion on the day of the surgery?
