The hospital alternative™ proliancesurgeons.com

When you see a Proliance Surgeon at one of our 60-plus convenient locations, costs

are often lower—as compared with a similar procedure at a hospital—and recovery times

are typically faster. Our board-certified surgeons provide orthopedic, general, ENT,

ophthalmic, urological, and plastic and reconstructive surgical services, and helped

more than six hundred thousand area patients last year alone. Ask your primary care

doctor about Proliance Surgeons, or find a specialist near you at ProlianceSurgeons.com.
