We had the best experience here after having to take my 6yr old in for a reset on a broken arm. The staff and Dr Shapiro were wonderful! They spoke to my child directly and explained everything they were doing and why they made him feel really comfortable! I would definitely recommend! read more

See all

I was so happy to have my arthroscopic knee procedure at Bahamas Surgery Center. I work in a hospital and can be very critcal of patent care areas. Bahamas Surgery Center was exceptionally clean, well staffed, and well organized. My care from the front door to the nurses (Judy and Drew) to the anestesia provider ( Dan) and of course my physician (Merriman) provided the absolute best care. read more

First the waiting room was undersized and packed. They made my wife fill out a bunch of papers that probably could have been filled out when they had her come in the previous week. Assembly line medicine. Preop and post op is done in a large single room with curtains. Showed at 6:30 for a 7:30 surgery. Doctor didn't arrive in the building until 7:45. My only personal experience with surgery is at hospitals. I will probably keep it that way unless it's a very minor procedure. read more

This out patient surgical center is by far the most attentive, kind, and gentle place to have a procedure done. Everyone from the nurses on the phone prior to surgery, the check in professional and the front desk, the nurses in the pre-op area, anthologist, everyone is gentle and explained everything. I end up getting testy when I'm in pain and they handle me like a champ! They forgive me rolling of eyes and exasperated sighs and treat me special and like I'm the most important patient there at the moment. Had an out patient procedure this morning. My doctor, Wahba, from @SCOI is astoundingly amazing! He keeps me revved up so I'm constantly at my best! #ajoyoustaxresult please note the pink wrap because they treat me as the Princess that I am! read more

Bahamas Surgery Center - Where my IV went - Surgeons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Have had 3 surgeries there and care and experience has been great. The people are very friendly and put you at ease in case you're anxious.

I have had all sorts of different procedures done and I can say this is 100% the BEST experience I have ever had. Every nurse was so amazing and sweet and such hard workers. You can tell they all love their jobs and really care for their patients. I went in for epidural and it was a breeze.

Bahamas Surgery Center is located in the same building as Southern California Orthopedic Institute (SCOI) and is also affiliated with them. My son had his knee surgery at this Ambulatory Surgery Center. I have actually visited this surgery center twice, once w my son and another time w a family member. The staff is incredible. Loved the hospitality and the professionalism of the staff. We were greeted by several people, and during my son's pre-op evaluation everyone we talked to, from the person admitting him, to the nurses and the anesthesiologist that talked to us, they always verified and made sure he was the correct patient and ensured what surgery he was being seen for that day to ensure the correct surgery was being performed and he was the correct patient. The staff was very thorough and made sure to make my son feel relaxed and gave him reassurance as surgeries are scary, especially for a kid. After my son's surgery, I received a courtesy call from one of the RN's to make sure we were taking care of the surgical site and how my son was feeling. I understand that part is part of their protocol, but it felt nice knowing that they give that courtesy call to check up on their patients. read more

This is the only Surgery Center in Bakersfield that will give you an appointment date but will not give you the time for your appointment until the day before. If they have not called you before 2:00pm the day before you must call them for the time. This way it gives who ever is going to help you out a lot of time to make arrangement with their employer (sarcasm) read more

This is the third time my daughter has had surgery at Bahamas surgery center and been treated by SCOI physicians. Our care has always been phenomenal! As a nurse, I'm really picky and this site is amazing. The staff is well educated, answers all my questions, polite and friendly. My surgeons and anesthesiologist have also been the best! I would completely recommend them! read more
