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.
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.
ColonoscopyA flexible camera examines the full length of the colon to screen for cancer and remove polyps before they become cancerous. Done under sedation, it typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The bowel prep the day before is the part most patients find hardest.Upper Endoscopy (EGD)A thin camera passed through the mouth examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Used to investigate persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or abdominal pain. Usually takes 15 to 30 minutes under sedation.Flexible SigmoidoscopyExamines the lower portion of the colon only, rather than its full length. Preparation is lighter than a full colonoscopy and sedation is sometimes unnecessary, but it cannot detect problems higher in the colon.Capsule EndoscopyYou swallow a vitamin-sized camera that photographs the small intestine as it passes through — a region that standard scopes cannot easily reach. There is no sedation and no recovery. The capsule passes naturally, and images are reviewed after the fact.ERCPCombines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat blockages in the bile and pancreatic ducts, most often gallstones stuck in a duct. Unlike a routine endoscopy, it carries a meaningful risk of pancreatitis afterward, so it is used when treatment is likely rather than for screening alone.Hemorrhoid TreatmentShrinks or removes swollen veins in the rectum and anus using rubber band ligation, injection, or surgical removal depending on severity. Banding is quick and typically requires no anesthesia; surgical removal is more effective for advanced cases but recovery is noticeably more uncomfortable.

Had a colonoscopy today with Dr. Azam Khan at the surgical center in Kingman and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dr. Khan was professional, calm, and reassuring, and explained everything clearly. The entire staff was friendly, efficient, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. From check-in to recovery, I felt well taken care of. Highly recommend Dr. Khan and his team — excellent care all around.

The receptionist forgot to call me to let me know that my appointment was canceled. I live an hour away from the facility so it was a huge inconvenience to show up for my appointment just to be told that it was canceled. This, to me, showed a lack of consideration and care for patient's time. I do not feel comfortable rescheduling and trusting this facility.

Dr. Kahn tried twice to remove a tumor from my colon. He failed. Then he wouldn't even meet with me post op! He sent his assistant to tell me "Hey, we tried twice and couldn't do it.". His referral to a Las Vegas hospital to finish the job was worthless because it didn't even mention the name of a surgeon he was supposedly referring me to. They couldn't even get my home address right. I had to go back to my Primary Care Physician to get a referral to a REAL surgeon. After Medicare paid Dr. khan, he sent me a bill for $90 "due now." I'll pay him when I can, but I'll never recommend him to ANYONE!

They mishandled my fax from my old doctor. They didn’t check my records from KRMC. I have been told twice they sent a referral for a MRI on my back. Now today they call me to tell me it’s only a x-ray on my back. I’ve waited a month and, a half to get a referral to see a neurologist I have to go get this back x-ray. I can’t wait anymore. If the staff would’ve looked at my records I had faxed, they would’ve seen I have degenerative disc disease, two ruptured disc, five pinched nerves in my back. They lie right to you. I had brain surgery for an aneurysm in 2014. I wear a boot on my right leg for footdrop. This is why my back is all screwed up. I swear I never seen such awful doctors then I saw in Kingman. I have to go to Las Vegas now but, it’s worth it. These doctors are not equipped to handle someone with the problems I have. If you go here make sure you log the phone calls & who you talked to. I had the records and, they wouldn’t look at them. They were causing a delay in getting me to a neurologist.
