The Future of Specialty Care

Before Your Surgery

We want the day of your surgery to be a seamless experience, where you can simply walk in, check-in at our front desk and be shown to your room rather than fill out pages of paperwork.

Registration is designed to be quick and easy and completing the form should take you 20-25 minutes. Please have your insurance information handy.

The Day of Surgery

When you arrive at our center, we ask that you check-in at the front desk to verify personal, companion and insurance information.

Our Day of Surgery Guide will give you all the details on how you can prepare for your surgery.

After Your Surgery

Offering easy to understand recovery instructions for you and your family is our priority. Read through our guide for more information.

Be sure to arrange a ride option for arriving home safely after your procedure. Read through our After-Surgery Guide for more important information.

A Moment In Time: Dr. Belshe Makes History

As we approach the six-month mark of Dr. Joseph Belshe’s passing, we feel compelled to honor him one final time. The following story has been on our desk for over a year, and it’s too good not to share with the community he built.

A One-Of-A-Kind Patient Experience

In August, we published a blog on the patient experience at St. Cloud Surgical Center. In that article, we discussed everything from preparation and surgery to rehab and recovery. Of all the things we are known for, outstanding patient care is the accolade we hang our hats on. If our patients feel well taken care of from start to finish, we know we have done a good job!
