Procedures Performed

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

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.
Tonsillectomy / AdenoidectomyThe tonsils and sometimes the adenoids are removed for repeated infections or sleep-disordered breathing. Recovery is notably harder for adults than children, with significant throat pain for a week or more and a real emphasis on staying hydrated.Ear Tube PlacementTiny tubes are placed through the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear, most often for children with recurrent ear infections. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and the tubes usually fall out on their own within a year.Sinus Surgery (FESS)A camera and instruments passed through the nostrils open blocked sinus drainage pathways, with no external incisions. Considered for chronic sinusitis that has not improved with medication. Congestion often worsens briefly before it improves.SeptoplastyThe wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils is straightened to improve airflow through a blocked side. It addresses breathing rather than external appearance, though it is sometimes combined with cosmetic reshaping.Turbinate ReductionSwollen tissue inside the nose is shrunk to improve airflow, frequently at the same time as septoplasty. Often the difference between a nose that is structurally straight and one that actually feels open.LaryngoscopyA scope examines the voice box and vocal cords, used for persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or throat pain that has not resolved. Small lesions can sometimes be biopsied or removed during the same procedure.

My mom and I had a blessed experience January 04/26 I give 10 thumbs up if it was possible to Dr. Jacobs nurse Bailey and nurse Lauren. On the evening shift, they were very courteous and I nickname nurse Bailey. one of the top vampires because she had no problem drawing blood from my mom, which is a very difficult task to do.Keep up the blessed Work staff and may God bless you. Love Donna

My husband was having acute pain and urgent care suggested he go to emergency room for possibly kidney stone .They did in fact find that he had one and gave him morphine and then dilaudid ( he was previously given pain meds an hour before at urgent care , so he was super drugged up , he takes no medication at all ) I rushed to ER and was told to go back and ring a phone and let in to see him , no one stopped me or asked for my ID ( scary) it was like 74 degrees in the ER ( gross and hot, germ spreading ) Anyway I left the room many times based on being hot and they told my husband his stone may require surgery so he had to wait. I had been giving him water because he was thirsty and ask the nurse for a cup and she said no he may have surgery and should not be drinking ( whoops ) So I came in from outside to cool off and found out they decided to not do surgery , but had to come to him in his pain and drugged out state and made him pay $450 on the spot ( we have good insurance ) , how tacky !! Also I walked up to nurse and said can he have water since he wont be getting surgery ? She said " Oh he can go we are done with him, we gave him prescriptions , " ( no screen to catch stone just meds ) So instead of wheeling him out I had to walk my drugged up husband out of ER into awaiting uber , no wheelchair offered or even concern if he had to drive himself .I feel like he received marginal uninterested care , We will never go there again . Who takes money from a moaning drugged up patient ? They had his insurance info , poor care and its really sad that he was drugs and told bye bye

My mother’s ER visit was great. She was admitted to the 1100 unit. I would say for the most part her stay was ok. She was NPO for multiple days until late in the evening for about 3 days. On the 3rd day she was told she would be having surgery so being NPO was no problem. However once she was cleared for surgery we waited on the surgeon all day. My mother was about to pass out for not having anything to eat or drink it was around 4 pm and at this point she was only eating once a day due to me being NPO each day. She was ok until we realized the chances of her having surgery that day were slim. The nurses called the doctor multiple times. He ( Dr. Lane) kept saying he was coming or he was in the building and would be around shortly. We understand he probably has multiple patients but if he knew that he wouldn’t be doing the surgery that day why couldn’t he at least give the ok to eat/drink. Which were questions the nurses were specifically asking him. One nurse even approached him in hallway and she said he dismissed her. After I could not take it any more I proceeded to eat. The doctor finally came around.😒 When he came in he repeated what he told me the day before that I needed surgery and he was waiting on me to be cleared by doctors which had been done earlier in the day. When I informed him that I had been clear since earlier in the day his response was “Oh” I was baffled that he was not up to date or had not ready the notes put in by my doctors. When I informed him of how hungry I had been all day waiting on him he proceeded to say “ well it looks like you’re eating now.” I felt like he was being sarcastic and nonchalant. My daughter was upset about this and verbally expressed to him that his lack of preparedness and dismissive tone was unwelcoming. He then left out, put in a consent form for surgery the next day which I was informed about by the nurse. This was after my daughter expressed her concerns to the nurse and advised her that she would be contacting the patient care coordinator and wanted to speak with his supervisor the next day and as well as informing Dr. Rodriguez. I’m guessing she went back and told him because about an hour later he came back and advised me of my surgery the next morning himself. I’m grateful for him completing the surgery but the manner in which he seemed to be uninformed and dismissive put a bad taste in my mouth. Other than that all the other doctors, nurses and staff were great. I also only had my room cleaned once during my six day stay. Btw Dr Rodriguez is amazing!!

The worst ER I have ever been to. Save your money and go someplace else. I came in at 6 for breathing difficulties and the nurses were rude. For one, I had been struggling to maintain consciousness and the nurses did absolutely nothing and kept me waiting in the waiting room. The other people in the waiting room had to encourage her to bring me back and were trying to help me more than the nurses. When they finally did see me they gave me a Covid and flu test then started a breathing treatment (this nurse and the CRNP were the only nice ones). I was complaining about severe throat pain, sinus pain, and the inability to stay awake. THEY NEVER CHECKED MY NOSE OR THROAT. They told me my test showed up positive and never came back to tell me the result of the X-ray they took or anything. Most unprofessional and uncaring emergency room I’ve ever been in. The only reason I came to this hospital was because I have friends (

I came into the ER yesterday in afib the Doctor and his nurse were fabulous. Moved to the 3rd floor and my Nurse Variest Hicks was simply amazing, she is kind and compassionate to the core, her CT is just as amazing "Ara Wang" They need to keep both of them at whatever cost it takes. For the night shift I had Peggy and she is incredible just as kind and compassionate and knows her job well. Nobody wants to be in the hospital but it sure helps when you have a kind hearted team.
