GOA Quality Performance at a Glance
| A 26-Year Legacy of Quality, A Commitment to Patient-Centered Care Delivery That You Can Trust: The GOA Patient Experience The Leaders in Southern California for Treating All Women’s Cancers in One Convenient Location |
GOA is a regional leader in providing high-tech, high-touch care for all women’s cancers in a safe haven dedicated to providing compassionate and interdisciplinary consultation for all female cancers—breast and gynecologic oncology. We remain at the forefront of clinical excellence by offering advanced technology procedures—such as our Minimally Invasive Surgery program through the use of the da Vinci Robotic® Surgical Assist System—that are accessible, convenient and nationally recognized by the most respected and trusted quality and patient safety rating organizations available to quality-conscious consumers.
Our top-ranking performance on these quality scorecards means that by meeting and/or surpassing these national standards, patients will directly benefit by:
- Experiencing less post-operative pain
- Reducing hospital stays—and associated costs—through the use of emerging technologies that result in less scarring, less trauma to the body and minimal blood loss and/or transfusions
- Improved recovery times and a more rapid return to the workplace and/or normal daily activities
- Access to experienced specialists who are highly skilled and effective in treating rare and complex cases
- Better surgical outcomes because studies have repeatedly shown that physicians and hospitals that perform higher volumes of specialized procedures tend to have better results than those done less frequently
Just like our patients who carefully choose the best specialists to provide their care, our medical team at GOA has chosen to only align ourselves with the premier hospitals in Southern California to ensure secure and high-quality experiences for our patients. We are proud to report our findings on several highly acclaimed quality improvement resources and healthcare rating organizations that will help you to better understand why you are safe in selecting The GOA Patient Experience.
