We are proud to announce that the Marietta Eye Clinic Ambulatory Surgery Center has again been recognized among the nation’s top outpatient surgical facilities by Newsweek—earning a place on the America’s Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers 2026 list for the fourth year in a row.
Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are an increasingly vital part of the U.S. health-care system. These specialized surgical facilities provide safe, efficient care for procedures that do not require overnight hospitalization—everything from cataract removals and refractive surgery to minor ophthalmic procedures and outpatient eye-disease surgery. ASCs deliver high standards of quality and safety, and they offer patients the convenience of same-day care, returning home in most cases within 24 hours.
Each year, Newsweek and global data-intelligence firm Statista evaluate thousands of ASCs across the country and—through a rigorous scoring model—highlight the top facilities that excel across several pillars. According to Newsweek’s methodology:
The 2026 edition evaluated more than 5,000 ASCs nationwide and selected 700 leading centers.
The scoring factors include quality metrics, peer recommendations, patient experience, and accreditations.
Specifically, the quality-metrics component represents 50% of the total score, peer evaluation 40%, patient experience 7.5%, and accreditation 2.5%.
For Georgia, the list shows that Marietta Eye Clinic Ambulatory Surgery Center ranks among the top 10 ASCs in the state. Newsweek Rankings
