Smithtown, NY — On May 22, North Shore Surgi-Center today celebrated its 20th anniversary of operation as a leading ambulatory surgery center.

After receiving approval by the New York State Department of Health and completing construction of its facilities, North Shore Surgi-Center, a multi-specialty ambulatory center, opened for business in May 1989. The center specializes in orthopedics, pain management and gastroenterology.

North Shore Surgi-Center was formed by Drs. Ather Mirza and Enrico Mango, who are still some of the principals in the company today. Currently, North Shore Surgi-Center has over 100 doctors who have clinical privileges at the center, and over 85 staff members. When the center first opened, it performed only 20 cases a month; now, the center performs approximately 800 cases per month.

“I want to thank our hard-working staff for the past two decades during which North Shore Surgi-Center has grown to become one of the leading ambulatory surgery centers in the country. I take pride in twenty years of recognition that this center has received as an innovator in the development of cutting-edge procedures, now used worldwide, to provide outstanding patient care,” said Dr. Mirza, Co-Founder of North Shore Surgi-Center.
