TriasMD, parent company of the DISC Surgery Centers, has announced that it is opening a new, state-of-the-art facility in San Diego’s growing North County. The 12,000-square-foot facility has been custom built by physicians for physicians to maximize the quality of patient comfort, care and outcomes, giving San Diegans access to outpatient spine surgery, orthopedics and pain management at the highest quality. With construction finished, it is now being equipped and staffed to take on its first cases.
The DISC Surgery Center at Carlsbad — located in the Tri-City Medical Center Health & Wellness Complex (map) – will feature three operating suites fully integrated with surgical and motion preservation technology, including the latest in microscopes, imaging, navigation and orthopedic and spine robotics. The center is also adjacent to DISC’s modern, full-service clinic, creating a convenient and seamless continuity of care.
Today’s news represents continued expansion of the innovative outpatient spine model developed by DISC’s world-renowned founding director, Robert S. Bray, Jr. MD, FAANS. The move also underscores the commitment of TriasMD and DISC to make this level of care both more accessible and more affordable throughout California and beyond, while anticipating the continued migration of spine into the outpatient setting. According to Sg2 Analytics, some 88% of spinal decompressions and laminectomies and 67% of cervical spinal fusions will be performed in an outpatient setting by 2028.
“We are excited to bring our newest DISC ASC into Carlsbad, marking our most ambitious and technologically enhanced build yet,” said Dr. Bray. “This facility is the culmination of our nearly 20 years of perfecting outpatient spine and orthopedic surgery, from infrastructure, technology and tools to protocols, patient care and recovery, all in a pristine and comfortable setting optimized to deliver the best results for our patients.”
