It has been a long-standing debate whenever a patient needs to undergo surgery – is it safe to choose an outpatient procedure or is inpatient care the better option? Over the years, doctors and health professionals are seeing a shift toward outpatient care as it costs less and can benefit the patient more.

Together with his former colleagues from Morristown Medical Center – Dr. Donald Allegra, Dr. John Allegra, and Dr. Barnet Eskin – Dr. San Agustin shed light on the advantages of ambulatory care and the dangers of inpatient care.
