About Ashland Surgery Center
The Best Medical Care in a Beautiful, Healing Environment
This was the vision of the founding physicians of Ashland Surgery Center. They recognized the regional need for safe, cost-effective outpatient surgical care in a friendly, convenient and caring environment.
Often seen as a hidden jewel in the Rogue Valley, the center offers sophisticated care in a facility that blends with its natural surroundings. The cantilevered waiting room provides a stunning, relaxing view across the Rogue Valley, and glass walls in the operating rooms connect with the outdoors, benefiting patients and caregivers alike.
Ashland Surgery Center opened in 2004. Bill Epstein, MD and Rob Ewing, MD performed the first cataract surgery at the center. Craig Chow, MD provided gastroenterological services, and Mark Greenberg, MD provided pain management care. Over the years, the surgeons and staff of Ashland Surgery Center have served thousands of patients, always with the same vision: high-quality, state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical procedures in a comfortable, personalized, and cost-effective outpatient setting.
Today, we continue to evolve and expand our surgical offerings. We routinely perform eye surgeries, including cataracts, glaucoma, and cosmetic procedures; plastic and reconstructive surgery, including breast augmentation; and general surgery and gastrointestinal procedures, such as colonoscopies. Because we are focused on a specific set of procedures and perform them hundreds of times, we know how to get you optimal results.
We are also proud to expand our medical staff, including Jeff Welder, MD and Jared Fredrickson, MD, ophthalmic surgeons; Margo Herron, MD, plastic and reconstructive surgery; Vivian Schiedler, MD, ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery; and Monte Stewart, MD, general surgery.
As we adapt to the ever-changing healthcare landscape, all of us at Ashland Surgery Center remain dedicated to our founding principles of excellence, innovation, compassion, and a healing environment. We are true to our mission to give you and every patient the kind of care we would all wish for ourselves and our own loved ones.
