All queries to reception at the Hospital

This private hospital has been providing quality, professional care since 1987, when it opened as New Zealand’s first purpose-built, day-stay surgical hospital. 1996 saw the hospital expand to accommodate 4 operating theatres, stage one recovery room, day-stay recovery room, and a 10-bed overnight stay facility.

The hospital employs a caring, well-trained and experienced staff of around 90 and provides services to around 6000 patients each year, covering a wide range of surgical services, and excellent post-operative care.

Auckland Surgical Centre became a Quality Health New Zealand accredited facility in February 2005, recognising the quality of healthcare delivered, and the commitment to continuous improvement. This is demonstrated by achievement of standards, and continuous quality improvement in care, service and safety.

Owned by shareholders since its establishment, Auckland Surgical Centre became a part of the Southern Cross Hospitals network in February 2005.

Here's what patients can expect from Southern Cross Auckland Surgical Centre:

Following surgery, patients are transferred to stage one recovery, where they will be cared for by experienced, professional nurses using modern equipment.

Day-stay patients will be transferred from here to the day-stay recovery room, where they can relax in a La-Z-Boy chair and enjoy light refreshments.

Overnight stay patients will be transferred from stage one to their room on the ward. Facilities include ensuite, telephone, NZ Herald, television and Sky TV. Quality meals are provided, and special dietary requirements can be catered for on request.

Ward visiting hours are flexible but we ask that visitors leave by 8pm.

The staff at Southern Cross Auckland Surgical Centre strive to provide quality, professional care to all our patients. We welcome comments, complaints, compliments or suggestions which will help us to continue meeting the needs of our patients and their families.

We look forward to caring for you.
