Grievance Procedure

The patient and family are encouraged to help the facility improve its understanding of the patient's environment by providing feedback, suggestions, comments and/or complaints regarding the service needs and expectations. A complaint or grievance should be registered by contacting the center and/or a patient advocate in the New Jersey State Department of Health or Medicare. The surgery center will respond in writing with notice of how the grievance has been addressed.
