Welcome to Raider Surgical Center, a world-class ambulatory surgery center dedicated entirely to outpatient eye surgery. Our state-of-the-art center was carefully designed to maximize patient comfort, safety, and convenience. We also wanted to ensure our patients also receive the most affordable outpatient eye surgical care available today.

The surgeons affiliated with Raider Surgery Center are partners at Thurmond Eye Associates, a comprehensive ophthalmic provider who’s been setting the standard in cataract and refractive surgery for more than 50 years. Our tradition of eye care excellence began in 1962 when Dr. Jack Thurmond founded our practice. Since that time, Thurmond Eye Associates has become the Rio Grande Valley’s preferred ophthalmic provider and one of Texas’ premier eye care provider. That’s why more patients in the Rio Grande Valley and across the country choose Thurmond Eye Associates for their eye care needs.

At Raider Surgical Center, we create safe physical environments in preparation for the scheduled procedure, during the procedure, and immediately following the procedure. We understand that providing an atmosphere of compassion and understanding with minimal stress and anxiety is key to our patients. We aim to keep our practice functioning at a high level of efficiency to accommodate the convenience of both the patient and the physician. Raider Surgical Center promises to assist the physicians in the accomplishment of a plan of diagnostic and surgical treatment for each patient. We aim to promote the knowledge and skills of the center’s staff as a means of meeting technical and scientific progress in the delivery of health care and to be aware of new research, new products, and new ideas that may modify and improve present activities and procedures. We guarantee that all information regarding patients is kept private and confidential.
