Merrillville Plaza Surgery Center is a state-licensed ambulatory surgery center (ASC) located within the Merrillville Injury Care facility. Our ASC provides a safe, cost-effective alternative to hospital-based surgery for outpatient orthopedic and spine procedures — with shorter wait times, lower costs, and same-day discharge for most patients.
Outpatient Surgical Capabilities
Our surgery center performs a range of orthopedic and spine procedures on an outpatient basis, including minimally invasive spine surgery, cervical and lumbar discectomy, disc replacement, spinal fusion, arthroscopic knee and shoulder surgery, and hip arthroscopy. Procedures are performed by board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Bernard Rerri, MD using the latest surgical technology and minimally invasive techniques to minimize recovery time.
