    Surgical Excellence

    If you’re facing surgery, you want the most experienced medical team available. Mills-Peninsula’s 241-bed acute care hospital in Burlingame provides inpatient and outpatient surgical services performed by expert doctors employing the latest minimally invasive techniques in bariatric, cardiac, vascular, gynecologic, gender affirmation surgery and orthopedic surgery.

    Our advanced operating suites employ the latest information technology to capture clear, sharp pictures at the surgical site and send them to high-definition displays. Images from the operating room can be exported over secure channels, allowing for real time consultation with doctors outside the operating room whether in the next room or around the world.

    Our private patient rooms are equipped with the latest safety enhancements, family sleeping accommodations and Wi-Fi Internet access.  We provide the latest advanced robotic surgery  and stereotaxis systems and a hybrid surgical suite and high-quality 3D and hybrid (SPECT/CT) digital medical imaging.  

    Our advanced Hybrid Surgical Suite allows cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons and vascular surgeons to collaborate on patients with complex cardiovascular conditions by performing minimally invasive procedures and open surgery simultaneously, with great benefits to patients.

    One of our latest innovations, the Hybrid Surgical Suite, allows the specialties of cardiology, cardiovascular surgery and vascular surgery to accommodate patients with complex cardiovascular conditions and enables specialists to work together using cutting-edge technology to perform minimally invasive procedures and open surgery simultaneously, using all the surgical and imaging equipment they need in the same easy-to-reach space, resulting in greater benefits to patients.

    We’ve also achieved significant improved patient safety improvements through a variety of measures, including not using recycled air in the hospital.  

    At Mills-Peninsula, you receive excellent service.  We were named one of America’s 50 best hospitals in 2015 by Healthgrades and achieved the Stroke Gold Plus award five years in a row from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association.  Other national recognitions include:

    • 2014 Guardian of Excellence award from Press Ganey
    • 2013 Top Performer on Key Quality Measures® by The Joint Commission.
    • 2012 to 2014 — Recognized by the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP®) for high-quality surgical care
