Duly Health and Care's Surgical Centers in Lombard, Westmont Named 2025 Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers by U.S. News and World Report

DOWN­ERS GROVE, Ill. — Duly Health and Care is proud to announce that two of its ambu­la­to­ry surgery cen­ters, Duly Surgery Cen­ter Lom­bard and Duly Surgery Cen­ter West­mont, have been named to U.S. News and World Report’s 2025 list of the Best Ambu­la­to­ry Surgery Cen­ters.

Duly Sur­gi­cal Cen­ter Lom­bard was rec­og­nized for Colonoscopy & Endoscopy as well as Ortho­pe­dics & Spine, while Duly Surgery Cen­ter West­mont earned top marks in Ortho­pe­dics & Spine.

“This hon­or val­i­dates Duly’s ongo­ing com­mit­ment to deliv­er­ing out­stand­ing patient out­comes in a safe and com­fort­able envi­ron­ment,” said Dr. Paul Mer­rick, chief physi­cian exec­u­tive. ​“Through our ambu­la­to­ry surgery cen­ters, we’re deliv­er­ing more acces­si­ble, effi­cient, and patient-cen­tered care. We are grate­ful to the physi­cians, nurs­es, and care teams who deliv­er this out­stand­ing care every day. It’s deeply reward­ing to see their work rec­og­nized among the best in the nation.”

U.S. News and World Report, in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Care­Jour­ney by Arca­dia, eval­u­at­ed over 4,300 surgery cen­ters across four spe­cial­ties, bas­ing its rat­ings on objec­tive, risk-adjust­ed mea­sures of patient out­comes, includ­ing com­pli­ca­tion avoid­ance, reduc­tions in emer­gency room vis­its, and few­er unplanned hos­pi­tal­iza­tions. To ensure fair com­par­isons among ambu­la­to­ry surgery cen­ters, the analy­sis account­ed for each patien­t’s pre-exist­ing con­di­tions and oth­er risk fac­tors. In all, few­er than 17% of eval­u­at­ed cen­ters earned a ​“Best Ambu­la­to­ry Surgery Cen­ter” rating.

Duly’s recog­ni­tion from U.S. News and World Report reflects the med­ical prac­tice’s unwa­ver­ing focus on deliv­er­ing the high­est qual­i­ty care for patients in set­tings that best meet their needs.

“Our com­pre­hen­sive spine surgery pro­gram is just one exam­ple of the advanced out­pa­tient care we’re proud to offer at Duly,” said Dr. Ashish Patel, spine sur­geon and chair of Duly’s Spine Depart­ment. ​“Min­i­mal­ly inva­sive pro­ce­dures in our surgery cen­ters allow patients to recov­er faster in a set­ting designed around their com­fort and safe­ty. This recog­ni­tion under­scores the ded­i­ca­tion of our entire sur­gi­cal team — and I’m proud to work along­side col­leagues who bring the same lev­el of focus and excel­lence to every spe­cial­ty we serve.”

“U.S. News’ sec­ond edi­tion of the ambu­la­to­ry surgery cen­ters rat­ings empow­ers con­sumers to find a local out­pa­tient facil­i­ty that match­es their sur­gi­cal needs with excep­tion­al out­comes,” said Chelsey Wen, senior health data ana­lyst at U.S. News. ​“These rat­ings help patients, in con­sul­ta­tion with their doc­tors, choose facil­i­ties focused on qual­i­ty and safety.”
