Patient Testimonials
To any person out there that is like me, skeptical… untrusting, but in a place that you’re going to have to take a chance… I can absolutely assure you that the Surgery Center of Oklahoma is the place to take that chance.

As the process went on and it did go on overtime—not in minutes—my confidence grew that this has to be the place for me to take my chance… and I know it sounds weird to say take a chance but when you know nothing or nobody, it’s taking a chance.
FROM THE RECEPTIONIST TO THE DISCHARGE NURSE!
I want to say this, I have never seen more first class people in one place in my life. They work in teams and they are not afraid to check or question… to make sure that everyone sees the same exact picture of each and every person or professional or patient or procedure… that’s involved.
Even to the point of writing notes all over my body to make sure and it wasn’t just one person doing it. It was a team in all the aspects of my surgery. One part of the team would come in to talk to me or write something. The other part of the team would come in and talk to me again or write something else. And this is on my body to make sure that when it’s time to start cutting, it’s the exact procedure.
The unreal thing about it is… it was not just one. It was all. And as I was waiting for my turn, I could hear what was going on in the other waiting areas for other people to have surgery and the same exact thing was happening for them as it did for me.
I’ve been around hospitals and doctors… some of it for me, some of it for others and family… and I can tell you I’ve never seen this happen before in any case, even though there were successes in other places.
I’m the guy that will go as long as I can before I have to do anything… more because of the untrust and the unknown.
But I can say this with all my being that if anything ever does go awry again, there will be one call and it will be to the Surgery Center of Oklahoma.
They don’t let just anybody work in this building—doctors included.
Now for me, my doctor was Dr Vavricka and yes, I would highly recommend him… but I also know through my process that any of the doctors that would have been referred would’ve been just as professional and confident and able.
And I know there has to be an exchange of money and that’s always a big huge question in the medical field and hospitals for the general public, and here’s another part of the story: they gave me a price over a phone and I can also assure you they did not ask me for one extra penny as a cash payer… and with the service that I received, I would’ve gladly paid more pennies if necessary… what an absolute blessing these people are.
It gave me the chance to go back to my normal life again.
Five stars is not enough… there are not enough words or descriptions or praises.
We’re dealing with life… and the quality of it.

How SCO Compares
Lower Costs
Our all-inclusive bundled pricing makes procedure costs clear and affordable for patients without insurance.
Shorter Waits
Most patients are scheduled quickly, avoiding long delays.
Better Recovery
Outpatient care reduces infection risk and supports a quicker return home. Our infection rate in 2021 was 0.00% compared with the national average of 2.6%.
Personalized Care
Our team specializes in patient-centered treatment.
What Are These Procedures?
This outpatient surgery is performed to repair a weak spot in the groin area, allowing for the repair of protruding tissue by pushing it back into place and strengthening the wall. The surgery site is closed with sutures or mesh, either with an open or minimally invasive technique.
Umbilical Hernia Repair
An umbilical hernia occurs near the navel. Repair involves returning protruding tissue to its correct position and reinforcing the muscle wall, sometimes using mesh. The procedure is performed under anesthesia and is a common, safe outpatient surgery.
It’s common to have procedures done at the same time, so you may only need one surgery, an option our team offers for patient convenience.
Who Is It For?
Adults
Most patients are adults, but these repairs are available for children as well.
Occasionally Children
Hernia repairs can also be performed on pediatric patients after consulting with our specialists.
Patients without Insurance:
Transparent pricing includes facility, surgeon, and anesthesia even if you lack insurance.
