Procedures Performed

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

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.
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.
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.

Staff is friendly, facility is clean. With that being said, don’t expect great care after your procedure. I have a very hard time waking up, and despite that was told to get dressed & wheeled out half asleep after both (2 blocks) procedures I had. After the 2nd procedure, I also informed them I needed to use the restroom before leaving & was left unassisted to go to the restroom. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t want them in there with me, but when I came out, the nurse was nowhere to be found & I had to get myself back into the wheelchair. Just didn’t feel like they cared about making sure I was ok before they carted me out the door either time.

I went there on Friday 8/29/25 for a lower back surgery, I arrive at 5:30 AM with my husband the receptionist was ok the only thing was she talked kind loud and other patients and their family members can hear the conversation, once I was taken to the back my husband was not allowed to be there with me the first nurse was nice the second nurse who I believe the name was Lisa was not very nice from the moment she took over she offered me to take 7 pills I ask her why she told me it was for by belly, for pain , and stomach gas I told her that I wasn’t going to take it because I was going to be under anesthesia anyway and pain medicine, I can definitely tell by the look on her face that she was not happy with me after that she told me she was going to get some IV fluids she wrapped my arm with a blue elastic band tied around it like when you’re going to get blood drawn and left me there for like 4 to five minutes I then took off the elastic band because my hand was turning purple, once she got back with a little device I informed her that I removed the band the only people that I considered to have done a great job was the anesthesiologist, the 2 nurses that come to take me to the OR and my surgeon, once I was done a nurse help me get dressed and took me to where my husband was waiting to take home, this place charge $14,000 dollars for people to get surgical procedures done in their facility to me is a lot of money and they don’t even call you before your surgery to inform you about it they will only text you so if you don’t look at that text message you may forget and eat or do something that would interfere with your surgery also my husband told me that nobody came in to talk to him or to keep him updated on how I was doing he said I got a text message saying your wife is ready she did okay they give him a plastic bag with my personal stuff and a red folder this place don’t even give you gauze pads I should have done a little more research on this place and have my surgery done somewhere else!!!

So, I had a hip replacement surgery at SIA today. Even though the surgeon was not directly affiliated with SIA, his team worked WITH SIA staff to perform the surgery. I JUST want to say the medical staff at SIA is 2nd to none in such an outpatient setting. Everyone was so focused on my comfort and making sure I understood every step of the operation.

The front desk lady was the rudest person I have ever seen. She talked to patients and family so nasty and I even watched her roll her eyes after a patients family member walked away after asking a question. They need to do better because these people are there for surgeries and are nervous as well as their families so to be treated so bad by s staff member is completely uncalled for.

The front desk staff & the nurses & anesthesiologist team were great. However I recommend not going here. If you have the option to have your surgery done in the hospital, do it. You can’t take a family member back to the pre op surgical room. You are in recovery alone and the doctors give you the most wimpy version of pain meds. I just had thyroid surgery and took a pill as directed when I got home and it did absolutely NOTHING to help. We called to ask for something stronger and they said too bad and to just deal with it. Don’t go here.
