When considering plastic surgery, Jacksonville clients must consider not only the surgeons and staff, but the facility where the procedure will take place. The Garcia Institute is located on the first floor of the Atrium Building at 700 Third Street in Neptune Beach near Jacksonville, just blocks from the Atlantic Ocean. Ours is North Florida’s only office-based surgery suite accredited and certified by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Founded in 1951, the Joint Commission is the nation’s leader in developing and enforcing the highest standards of quality and safety in the delivery of healthcare and in evaluating organizational performance based on these standards. Accreditation and certification by the Joint Commission requires an exhaustive evaluation that ensures compliance with the organization’s standards plus requirements by various regulatory agencies governing the medical industry. Evaluators go through a firm’s facilities and organizational procedures with a fine-toothed comb and make suggestions for improvement where needed.

The Joint Commission’s Office-Based Surgery Accreditation Program was introduced in 2001 to help improve the safety of office-based surgical facilities. To date, more than 400 office-based surgery practices are accredited by the Joint Commission, and we are proud to be the forerunner in accredited and certified office suites offering plastic surgery in Jacksonville and throughout Northeast Florida. The distinction allows us access to the commission’s expert advice and education on quality improvement and the ability to attract highly trained and qualified staff.
