Surgical Services at Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital

Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital (SBELIH) provides comprehensive and compassionate care through a team of board-certified specialists supported by highly skilled nursing staff. A wide range of surgical procedures is offered, including minimally invasive techniques, with a strong focus on patient education and post-operative support.

Due to less invasive procedures and quicker healing times, approximately 85% of surgeries are performed in the Advanced Ambulatory Care Center. Patients receive pre-surgical education to ensure they fully understand their procedure, and both patients and families have all questions answered prior to surgery.
