STOCKTON, Calif., Dec. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- National Surgical Centers Stockton (NSCS) LLC announced today the full opening of its freestanding ambulatory surgery center (ASC), providing care for patients with specific vascular, cardiac and podiatry-related health needs.

National Surgical Centers Stockton's mission is to provide minimally-invasive procedures in a safe, friendly, state-of-the-art and compassionate environment, in order to improve the quality of life for its patients.

"We achieve this by creating a team across multiple disciplines to perform advanced procedures such as endovascular peripheral arterial revascularization, foot ulcer debridement and other related foot/ankle procedures. Additional procedures performed in the ASC include cardiac rhythm management, dialysis access procedures, port placement and removal, uterine fibroid embolization, lumbar puncture, and other approved interventional procedures."
