When you come to Pain Management NYC, your safety isn’t just a checkbox — it’s a top priority. That’s why we’ve gone through the process of becoming QUAD A accredited. This isn’t a small thing. QUAD A (formerly known as the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities) sets strict national standards for outpatient healthcare centers like ours. To earn their certification, we had to meet every one of them.
Why QUAD A Matters to You
If you’re a patient:
You probably just want to feel better, and quickly. But you also want to know that the place you’re getting treatment from is clean, safe, and run by professionals.
With QUAD A accreditation, you can be sure:
- Everyone here is trained, licensed, and working within their specialty.
- Our equipment is properly cleaned, tested, and stored.
- We’re prepared for emergencies and run safety drills regularly.
- Infection control and sterilization practices are built into our routine.
Basically, we do things the right way — not because we have to, but because you deserve that level of care.
If you’re a referring provider:
When you send someone to us, you can trust they’ll be treated with the same level of care you would give. We don’t just meet the standards — we keep up with them. That means using up-to-date tools, following board certification rules for all providers, and making sure our team continues their training regularly. From pain specialists to support staff, everyone is held to a high standard.
So, What Is QUAD A?
QUAD A has been around since 1980. They focus on improving patient safety in outpatient settings — the kind of place where most pain procedures now happen. What sets them apart? They don’t do partial approvals. A facility either meets every requirement or doesn’t get certified.
To stay certified, we have to keep doing things right, every single year.
That includes:
- Staying prepared for emergencies
- Keeping our equipment safe and sterile
- Following proper monitoring during procedures
- Maintaining strong infection control
- Reviewing every part of your care, from intake to follow-up
They regularly update their standards based on real patient outcomes, so we’re always working from the latest info.
We’re Serious About Safety
Getting relief shouldn’t come with worry. Whether you’re coming in for an injection, a diagnostic procedure, or a more advanced pain treatment, we want you to feel confident in your care. That’s why we’re proud to say we’re QUAD A accredited.
If you’re wondering what this means for your specific treatment or want to know more about our safety practices, we’re happy to answer your questions. Give us a call or ask us during your next visit — we’re here to help.
