I've had a heart cath performed three times. The first was in 2007 and I received a stent, that was at St. Joseph Hospital Towson, Maryland. In 2008 I had just a cath done at Sinai Hospital Baltimore, MD and in 2011 a cath at the VA Hospital Gainesville, Florida. I had surgery about ten years earlier on both hands for carpal tunnel syndrome performed at the Surgery Center of Forest Hill, Maryland. That surgery center had the appearance and standards that I would find in any hospital. In fact, if I hadn't seen the outside of the building I would of thought I was in a hospital. So don't overlook surgery centers just because of the name.
