United Surgery Center in Encinitas operates a Medicare-certified ambulatory surgical center at 477 North El Camino Real, part of the United Surgery Centers network spanning ten locations across Southern California. The single-operating-room facility performs same-day outpatient procedures including colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, and otolaryngologic surgery, streamlining post-procedural medication management through nearby dispensaries such as Scripps Pharmacy at Scripps Clinic Encinitas. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services certification confirms compliance with federal surgical facility standards for infection control, anesthesia safety, and patient discharge protocols. The center shares the El Camino Real medical campus with United Medical Doctors' multi-specialty network, which routes surgical referrals from primary care providers including UC San Diego Health Primary Care for endoscopic evaluation and outpatient surgical intervention. Procedure capabilities extend to endoscopic sinus surgery, septoplasty, and gastrointestinal polypectomy performed under monitored anesthesia care with same-day discharge.
