Albany’s Trusted Location for Advanced Outpatient Orthopedic Surgery for Over 25 Years
For more than 25 years, the OrthoNY Executive Woods Ambulatory Surgery Center has been a cornerstone of outpatient orthopedic care in the Capital Region. As OrthoNY’s original ASC, it helped set the standard for the high-quality, patient-centered surgical experience that has since expanded to other locations. Generations of patients have trusted our Albany center for advanced procedures performed in a focused, convenient, and efficient setting.
Our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons perform a range of minimally invasive procedures, including arthroscopic joint surgeries, ACL reconstructions, total shoulder arthroplasties, carpal tunnel releases, spinal decompressions, and foot and ankle procedures. By offering these surgeries in an ambulatory center rather than a hospital, patients benefit from same-day discharge, fewer delays, and a lower risk of infection, all within a setting designed specifically for orthopedic care.
At Executive Woods, every patient receives one-on-one attention from a skilled surgical team committed to safety, comfort, and excellent outcomes. The ASC model also makes care more accessible, with streamlined scheduling and potential cost savings compared to hospital-based surgery.
Conveniently located in Albany’s Executive Woods Medical Park, the center is easily accessible to patients from across the Capital Region, including Latham, Delmar, Troy, and surrounding communities. For decades, our team has combined surgical expertise with innovation and efficiency, ensuring patients receive the right procedure in the right place, with the confidence that comes from choosing one of the region’s most trusted orthopedic surgery centers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What procedures does OrthoNY offer at the Executive Woods Surgery Center?
We offer a full range of outpatient orthopedic procedures, including joint arthroscopy, shoulder repairs, total shoulder arthroplasty, ACL reconstructions, carpal tunnel release, spinal decompression, foot and ankle procedures, and select pain management treatments. Our team uses advanced, minimally invasive approaches to support shorter recovery times and reduced risks. Board-certified OrthoNY surgeons and a dedicated staff provide expert care in a comfortable surgical setting, with same-day discharge as the goal for most patients.
Is outpatient surgery at this facility safe?
Yes, outpatient surgery at the OrthoNY Executive Woods facility is safe and held to the highest standards. Our center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), ensuring rigorous protocols and oversight. Procedures are performed by board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons who specialize in outpatient surgical care. Our experienced clinical staff is trained in the latest surgical techniques and safety practices.
Each patient undergoes a comprehensive pre-operative assessment to confirm they are an appropriate candidate for outpatient surgery. Only those who meet the clinical criteria for health and recovery are scheduled. Throughout the entire process, patients are continuously monitored and receive coordinated follow-up care to ensure a smooth and safe recovery.
How should I prepare for surgery and what happens after?
Prior to surgery, patients receive instructions on how to prepare, including dietary restrictions and what to bring on surgery day. Once checked in, the surgical team preps patients for their procedure. After surgery, patients recover under supervision and receive personalized written post-operative discharge instructions. Our team coordinates with physical therapists or follow-up providers as needed to support each individual’s recovery plan.
Do I need a referral or insurance pre-authorization?
Most procedures require a referral from an OrthoNY specialist and prior authorization by your insurance provider. Our staff works closely with both to ensure approvals are in place before the day of the procedure. We also verify insurance coverage and walk patients through financial expectations before the procedure to avoid surprises.
What is the recovery process like after surgery?
Recovery plans vary by surgery, but most patients return home the same day and begin therapy or home care shortly thereafter. Each patient receives clear post-op instructions and follow-up guidance from their surgical team. The integrated services available through OrthoNY make it easy for patients to continue recovery with our therapy or pain management specialists.
Will my insurance cover the procedure at Executive Woods?
Yes, we accept most private insurance plans, Medicare, and workers’ compensation. Insurance benefits and requirements vary, however, so we help verify coverage and provide estimates before surgery. We also offer payment plan options for patients with high deductibles or limited coverage.
