Procedures Performed

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

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.
Breast Augmentation / ReductionBreast size is increased by placing implants, or decreased by removing breast tissue and skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. Reduction is often performed to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight.RhinoplastySurgery that reshapes the nose by altering the bone and cartilage beneath the skin. It is performed to change appearance, to correct breathing problems caused by internal structure, or both. Swelling takes months to fully resolve.FaceliftLiposuctionFat is suctioned out from beneath the skin through small tubes called cannulas, reshaping a specific area such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. It targets localized deposits and is a contouring procedure rather than a method of weight loss.Wound ReconstructionRebuilds skin and underlying tissue where a wound is too large or too damaged to close directly. Surgeons move nearby tissue, or transfer skin and muscle from elsewhere on the body, to cover the defect. Often follows trauma, infection, or cancer removal.Skin GraftingHealthy skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to cover a wound or burn elsewhere. Both the graft site and the donor site need care, and the donor site is often the more uncomfortable of the two.
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.

My husband had a PD abdominal port inserted at this surgery center in 7/23. During surgery, this really stoic man told the surgeon he could still feel pain—that he needed more meds to kill the pain. He asked then begged for more and the surgeon totally ignored him and just continued the surgery not even commenting. What kind of a doctor does that????? Nor did the staff keep me apprised of status when the automated board said the supposed one hour surgery was still in progress—after 3 hours!! And the receptionist had already left for the day. I was worried sick with nobody to ask what was going on. I had to bang on the door to get anybody to tell me what was going on. I do NOT recommend this surgery center to anybody for anything at all!!!!

THIS FACILITY IS THE WORSE EVER. IT'S THAT TYPE OF PLACE THAT WHEN YOU WALK IN YOU ASK YOURSELF IS THIS WHERE I SHOULD REALLY HAVE MY SURGERY. I WAS THERE FOR FISTULA GRAPH PLACEMENT. THEY PUT ME TO SLEEP AND I DIED TWICE DUE TO THEIR NEGLEGANCE. IT WAS HORRIBLE. I CODED TWICE AND THEY BROKE 8 OF MY RIBS RESUCITATING ME, AND NOW I'M BLIND IN MY RIGHT EYE, HAVING MAJOR ISSUES IN MY LEFT EYE I NEVER HAD BEFORE AND MY RIBS STILL HAVEN'T HEALED, AND I'M HAVING BREATHING AND OTHER ISSUES I NEVER HAD BEFORE. DON'T, DON'T DON'T GO HERE IT'S A NIGHTMARE OF A PRACTICE AND THEY DON'T CARE. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ONE PHONE CALL, NOT ONE MESSAGE, NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH. THEY DON'T CARE

Worse patient care ever! A family member had a port replaced and was VERY apprehensive. Nurse Ratchet wouldn't let a former Surgical Nurse of 29 years go with him into preop. Not asking for special treatment, but maybe compassion of the actual patient. READ THE ROOM Nurse Ratchet! Your patient was nervous! Checked on the status 2.5 hours layer and was told 45 minutes more, he's still in surgery. Seriously! If he's still IN surgery, he'll need time in Post-Op to monitor post anesthesia meds. Waiting room was HOT! 80 degrees! Bacteria grows in heat. This place is the lowest of low. Where are the standards of healthcare??

The Dr was awesome explained everything to me fully and made me feel comfortable about the process. The front desk woman was rude and short with her comments
