Butler Memorial Hospital physicians, Dr. Tony Maalouf, Dr. Martin Lee and Dr. Andrew Szabo have achieved accreditation as a Center of Excellence/Master Surgeon in Robotic Surgery

by Surgical Review Corporation. A Center of Excellence/Master Surgeon in Robotic Surgery accreditation distinguishes Butler Memorial Hospital from many other outpatient facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.

Status as an accredited organization means Butler Memorial Hospital physicians, Dr. Tony Maalouf, Dr. Marin Lee and Dr. Andrew Szabo have met nationally recognized standards. Not all healthcare organizations seek accreditation; not all that undergo the rigorous on-site inspection process are granted accreditation.

“Butler Health System has worked diligently toward becoming a Robotic Surgery Center of Excellence,” stated Ken DeFurio, BHS President and CEO, “We are proud of Dr. Maalouf and all of the surgeons in leading our team in achieving this success”.

Healthcare organizations seeking accreditation by SRC undergo an extensive self-assessment and on-site inspection. This process includes physicians, nurses, and administrators who are actively involved in the accredited program. The inspection is consultative and educational, presenting best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.
