Proliance Surgery Center at Valley Named Best Ambulatory Surgery Center by U.S. News for 2025

Proliance Surgery Center at Valley has been named one of the 2025 Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers for orthopedic and spine care by U.S. News & World Report. Out of thousands of facilities reviewed nationwide, only a select few earned this honor — Proliance Surgery Center at Valley among them.

This recognition reflects our dedication to delivering exceptional results in a setting designed for efficiency, safety, and comfort.

"Transitioning many of our lumbar decompressions, ACDFs, and cervical disc arthroplasties to the outpatient setting has been remarkably seamless," said Christopher Howe, MD, spine surgeon and managing partner. "Not only have we seen no increase in complications — our infection rates have actually gone down. When used appropriately, outpatient spine surgery is a more efficient use of healthcare resources, supports faster recovery, and typically lowers the cost for patients."

Jason Thompson, MD, fellow spine surgeon and managing partner, added, "We take great pride in delivering high- quality spine care and exceptional patient outcomes. Being recognized for our commitment to excellence is truly rewarding. Here, our patients benefit from personalized attention from our outstanding team, and we're able to directly oversee every aspect of their care — leading to the best possible outcomes."

Located in Renton, Washington, Proliance Surgery Center at Valley performs same-day orthopedic and spine procedures, including total joint replacements. As part of the Proliance Surgeons network, the surgery center brings together highly qualified providers and staff dedicated to providing a seamless and supportive experience.
