Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery)6
Cataract SurgeryThe clouded natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with a clear artificial one. It is one of the most common outpatient procedures performed in the country, usually takes under 30 minutes per eye, and is done under light sedation with numbing drops rather than general anesthesia.LASIK / Refractive SurgeryA laser reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, reducing dependence on glasses or contacts. The procedure itself takes minutes per eye. Vision is often noticeably better within a day, though it can take several weeks to fully stabilize.Glaucoma SurgeryCreates a new drainage path for fluid inside the eye to lower internal pressure. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve silently, so the goal is preventing further vision loss rather than restoring vision already lost. Several minimally invasive options are now performed in outpatient settings.Retinal SurgeryRepairs the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, most often for a detached or torn retina, or for bleeding related to diabetes. Timing matters — a detaching retina is treated urgently because delay increases the risk of permanent vision loss.Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)Removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. When drooping upper lids block part of the visual field, the procedure is functional rather than cosmetic and is often covered by insurance if visual field testing documents the obstruction.Corneal TransplantReplaces damaged or clouded corneal tissue with donor tissue. Modern techniques often replace only the affected layer rather than the full thickness, which shortens recovery. Vision improves gradually over months, and stitches may stay in place for a year or longer.
Orthopaedic Surgery6
Knee ArthroscopyA camera and small instruments are inserted through incisions the size of a buttonhole to repair cartilage, trim a torn meniscus, or remove loose fragments. Because the joint is not opened fully, recovery is far faster than traditional open knee surgery.Shoulder ArthroscopyUses a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions to repair the shoulder joint — commonly for impingement, labral tears, or damaged cartilage. Most patients go home the same day and begin physical therapy within the first week.ACL ReconstructionRebuilds the torn anterior cruciate ligament using a graft, since a fully torn ACL does not heal on its own. The surgery itself is outpatient, but returning to cutting and pivoting sports typically takes nine to twelve months of structured rehabilitation.Rotator Cuff RepairReattaches torn tendons in the shoulder to the bone. Pain relief often comes well before strength does — a sling is typical for several weeks and full recovery commonly takes four to six months, with physical therapy doing much of the work.Carpal Tunnel ReleaseCuts the ligament pressing on the median nerve at the wrist to relieve numbness, tingling, and night pain in the hand. The procedure takes about 15 minutes under local anesthesia. Night symptoms often improve immediately; grip strength returns over several weeks.Joint ReplacementDamaged joint surfaces are replaced with implants, most commonly at the knee or hip. Once exclusively a hospital procedure, selected healthy patients now have this done at surgery centers and go home the same day with a structured recovery plan.
Interventional Pain Management6
Epidural Steroid InjectionsSteroid medication is injected near irritated spinal nerve roots to calm inflammation causing sciatica or arm pain. Often used to make physical therapy tolerable rather than as a standalone cure. There are limits on how frequently they can be repeated.Nerve Block InjectionsAnesthetic, sometimes with steroid, is injected around a specific nerve to interrupt pain signals. Used both to treat pain and to identify its source, since relief from a precisely placed block points to the nerve responsible.Radiofrequency AblationHeat generated by radio waves disables the small nerves carrying pain signals from an arthritic spinal joint. Relief commonly lasts six months to two years. Because the nerves regenerate over time, the procedure can be repeated.Spinal Cord StimulationA device delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to interrupt chronic pain signals before they reach the brain. A temporary trial period is done first, so you can judge the benefit before committing to a permanent implant.Joint InjectionsSteroid or lubricating medication is injected directly into an arthritic or inflamed joint. Image guidance is often used to confirm placement. Relief typically lasts weeks to months and can make physical therapy more productive.Trigger Point InjectionsA local anesthetic is injected into a taut, tender knot of muscle to break the spasm-and-pain cycle. The appointment takes minutes and you can usually return to normal activity the same day.

We had a wonderful experience at the Mobile Surgery Center on Airport Blvd. The staff was incredibly thorough and kind, ensuring that Joe’s name and birthday were checked multiple times for accuracy. They clearly communicated the details of my procedure, repeating everything to make sure we understood. The entire team, including the doctors, exhibited professionalism and alignment, which made me feel secure and cared for. I truly appreciate the compassionate approach they took throughout the process. Highly recommended!

I've had two epidurals here in my lower back per Dr. Volkman and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Volkman and Mobile Surgery Center. First of all, both Dr. Volkman and Dr. Trent are spectacular. The staff at both facilities are outstanding and I received the best of care each time. Thank you very much for that. It means so much to receive such great care when you're in so much pain.

May 16th I went in for an Epidural recommended by Dr Howard. I originally opted for sedation, they came in and said it was like a bee sting and would be over quicker with out sedation. I said ok. The numbing medication did not work and I felt it all. It was so painful I couldn't hold still. Dr Trent was angry. Fast forward 3 weeks and back went out again on June 4th. Saw Dr Howard 3 days later and said we needed to do another. Augh.. OK scheduled for June 20th. (earliest avail since I was getting sedation). I got sedation this time. The 1st Nurse hurt me trying to place IV. Anesthesia Nurse came and placed IV with no pain. Procedure was done. I felt nothing, just a lil pressure. Praying I get total relief like first time before back went out again. Any kind of procedure again will be undersedation, no if and or buts!! I hope my experience will help you make a decision.

I had a very pleasant experience with Mobile Surgery Center. I was scheduled for a last minute eye surgery and everything was taken care of on my behalf. Communication was good and the instructions were clear. They have great communication with your driver as well. The staff was kind when I arrived and my experience with the nurses was great. Dr. Zloty performed my surgery and he is an excellent surgeon. I recommend this center.

I have severe PTSD and was scheduled for an epidural today with Dr. Walsh. She and her staff treated me with kindness and empathy. They accommodated the position of my head and so that I could see. It may seem like a small thing but to me it made the difference between hyperventilating and panic, that I experienced years ago, and the good experience I had today. Thank you for making this procedure a positive and less frightening option in the future.
