Since its grand opening in January of 2009, the surgical center has experienced tremendous growth and success, and achieved accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) in July 2009.

As it experiences continued growth, Laser Spine Institute has named Heidi Gwynn executive director of the Scottsdale, Ariz. surgical center.
