Why Ophthalmology Surgery Centers Are Choosing NorthStar for Anesthesia Partnership

IRVING, Texas, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ophthalmology surgery centers nationwide are increasingly choosing NorthStar Anesthesia as their trusted partner for anesthesia care. With a model purpose-built for high-volume eye procedures, NorthStar delivers the efficiency, reliability, and clinical precision that ASC leaders need to grow while preserving independence and elevating patient outcomes.

In 2025 alone, several leading centers—including Takle Eye Surgery Center, Marion Eye Surgery Center, Professional Eye Associates, East Atlanta Eye Surgery Center, North Georgia Eye Associates, Georgia Retina, and two Ludwick Eye Center sites in Pennsylvania and Maryland—have joined NorthStar's growing roster of ASC partners.

At NorthStar Anesthesia, no two ASCs are alike. Each center requires tailored solutions that drive operational stability and growth. NorthStar's care team model is customized for high-volume eye procedures, lower costs through optimized staffing, flip room readiness, rapid recovery protocols, and reliable, ASC-trained CRNA teams.

Cindy Myers, VP of Operations for ASCs at NorthStar Anesthesia, explained: "Eye care ASCs operate at an incredibly fast pace and require an anesthesia model that can keep up without sacrificing patient care. At NorthStar, we've built a scalable approach that honors each center's independence while providing the clinical stability and efficiency they need to thrive."

That tailored approach has already proven effective in centers such as East Atlanta Eye Surgery Center and Georgia Retina, where NorthStar has helped bring stability to scheduling, staff recruitment, and block time optimization.

With a reliable pipeline of ASC-trained CRNAs—many of whom rotate through ophthalmology centers during training and later return as full-time providers—NorthStar strengthens continuity and minimizes the turnover challenges common in independent centers. While current momentum is strongest in Georgia, the company is scaling this proven model nationwide to meet the needs of independent ASCs and multi-site groups. For ophthalmology and retina practices ready to grow, NorthStar offers a partnership grounded in transparency, autonomy, and efficiency.
