St. John v18 n2

L akeview Surgery Center LLC in Bowie, Maryland, is an ambulatory surgery center (ASC). ASCs, also called outpatient surgery centers, provide surgical procedures that don’t require overnight hospitalization. Typically, these procedures aren’t as complicated as other treatments.

As an ASC, Lakeview Surgery Center plays an important part in reducing hospitalization costs, offering patients quality care, and giving patients easy access to the health care they need. Lakeview’s Bowie location at Melford Town Center provides 5,000 square feet to health care professionals who perform glaucoma and cataract surgeries and soon, retina surgery. The mixed-use community is conveniently located between Annapolis, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., and offers patients easy access to their health care providers. When it came to Lakeview’s leasing concerns, St. John Properties had the solutions. “St. John has been very accommodating and willing to help us develop our location as well as maintain it,” Alyson Hall, MD, physician owner of Lakeview Surgery Center LLC, said. “Our property manager is always very responsive to any unforeseen issues and works quickly to help resolve them if they arise.” Lakeview Surgery Center MELFORD TOWN CENTER 17001 Science Drive, Suites 112-114 Bowie, MD 20715 301.860.1090 www.glaucomacenter.net

This was particularly true when Lakeview compared St. John Properties to other real estate companies in the area, ultimately choosing them because of “their ability to assist us through the process of building-out our surgery center and handling day-to-day maintenance,” Dr. Hall said, an important distinction for a health care company. As part of Melford Town Center, Lakeview joins a 466-acre mixed-use community, complete with convenient amenities nearby. The company’s single-story office building was exactly what Lakeview was looking for. “Our Surgery Center has a spacious waiting area, pre and post- operative area, large operating room and laser/procedure room,” Dr. Hall said.

Why is the location perfect for serving patients? As “an ophthalmology-based ambulatory surgery center that focuses on providing thoughtful, sophisticated patient care,” Dr. Hall said, “we find the overall atmosphere in Melford is very relaxing with ample free parking and easy access for our patients.” Could anything make the location even better? St. John Properties is already planning ahead for that question. Melford Town Center recently added a Courtyard by Marriott hotel, and nearly 2,000 town homes, multi-family rental units and senior living units are being developed now. Once completed, patients and their loved ones will find a truly relaxing, personal atmosphere at Lakeview and Melford Town Center.
