Guide to Procedure Scheduling
The Guide to Procedure Scheduling provides physicians and their office staff an easy-to-use index for many of the outpatient medical procedures available at Suburban Hospital and associated outpatient centers. The Guide includes direct access phone numbers for 
scheduling procedures as well as hours of operation and specific locations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) related to procedure scheduling are also included in this document for your information. A patient version of the Guide is also available on this site under Patients & Visitors. If you have any questions, please call the our Scheduling and Registration staff at 301.896.2222.
