Our Center

Foundation West Houston Surgical Center is an 18,000 square foot facility that houses four operating rooms and two procedure rooms. We are a surgery center in the West Houston area that offers the convenience of being close to home without the hectic drive to the Medical Center. Our Center has a highly trained, friendly staff and the most advanced medical equipment as well as skilled surgeons and anesthesiologists. One of the many features our patients appreciate is the Bair Paws patient controlled warming gowns they wear throughout their stay. And, our pediatric patients love the stuffed bears they receive upon admission.

Our staff of highly qualified professionals is dedicated to patient care. They are ready to assist patients with any need from clinical to billing.
