Lakeside Surgery Center is a four-operating-room facility purpose-built for ophthalmology and ENT procedures — founded by six Northwest Arkansas physicians, with no hospital system or private equity involved.
Lakeside Surgery Center was founded by three ophthalmologists and three otolaryngologists (ENT) who set out to build the kind of surgical facility they wanted for their own patients: efficient, focused, and free of the operational noise of a large hospital system.
The center is owned entirely by its founding physicians — no hospital system and no private equity investment. It opened in 2025 and passed its Medicare and accreditation inspection with flying colors, reflecting the same standard of care the founders built their individual practices on.

"Everything is significantly more expensive than you could ever imagine — but if you're getting the same procedure at an ASC, it's 30 to 60% cheaper than at a hospital."
