Welcome to a Higher Level of Surgical Care

Carolina Surgical Associates is an SRC-accredited Center of Excellence in Hernia Surgery since 2026. SRC is a nonprofit patient safety organization that accredits the top hospitals, outpatient facilities and medical providers who excel in patient care.

To achieve accreditation, providers undergo a rigorous, unbiased inspection to ensure they meet nationally and internationally recognized standards of excellence. The inspection evaluates treatment pathways and consultative services, equipment, patient education and support groups, and surgical experience.

Patients can trust SRC’s gold seal to identify healthcare providers who deliver excellence in patient safety and care. The requirements for accreditation programs have been proven to improve outcomes and reduce the time patients spend in the hospital.

Delivering a Culture of Excellence for You

SRC-certified providers report better patient outcomes, faster recovery times, and lowered risks of complications.

Our team follows strict safety and quality standards set by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) with regular reviews to ensure we’re always meeting — and exceeding — those expectations. But what that really means for you is simple: you’re cared for by a team that is highly trained and committed to doing what’s best for you and your health.
