*Sonoran Surgical Center has been closely monitoring the ongoing outbreak of the virus COVID-19 and guidance as issued by government and health authorities. We deeply appreciate the healthcare workers, local communities, and governments who are on the front line working to contain this virus and our hearts and thoughts go out to the people who have been affected by this event. Please know that we have precautions in place to ensure our facilities are safe for our patients to visit. We are now offering TeleHealth visits that can be accessed on a smartphone, tablet or desktop/laptop with a webcam.

Currently, elective surgeries and appointments are proceeding based on evolving guidelines from our hospitals and surgicenters but this may be further curtailed by any updated information/responses regarding COVID-19 by the health care services as the days progress.

Please inform staff if you have a fever, cough, shortness of breath and if you have traveled or been to a Covid hot spot. Please note we do require that you wear a mask during your appointment and family or friends will be restricted.
