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 β€” 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.
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.

It's obvious Dr McCoy does not do her research about steroid eye drops and how it induce the collagen in the eye triggering PVD and floaters. It's quite obvious three days prior to the eye drops in writing from an eye doctor I had zero PVD in my eyes. Perfect eye pressure perfectly healthy eyes. Three days later after steroid eye drop three and right eye and one drop in left eye... Hours later I got black floaters. Dr McCoy is ignorant and obviously not as smart as Mayo and Cleveland Clinic which is all over the internet. And she doesn't return calls!!!

I give this place 1 star because the staff is nice. The doctors however, completely different story. Had to have retinal and cataract surgery at this place. I was supposed to sit and talk with the surgeon about the procedure. NEVER HAPPENED. The day of the surgery they gave me a scan code with the cataract information on it. IT TELLS ME NOTHING ABOUT THE PRODUCT. Not too mention I was told to take a Tylenol for pain after the surgery. I have never wanted to harm myself until then. The follow-up was even worse. The surgeon was rude, physically rough with my eye. He snatched the stitch out of my eye then called me sensitive. My most recent visit was even worse. The surgery was unsuccessful and I personally feel that if the consultation was given, I NEVER would have had the procedure done.The doctors do not listen to what patients are going through. It's all about collecting insurance money. Never felt more disrespected in my life by people who are supposed to make you feel better. I honestly hate this place. Wouldn't advise an enemy to go here. Currently looking for a better facility for my eye care needs.

Both Madeline and Dr. Greene were extremely gentle and caring handling my inflamed and very painful burning eyes after suffering chemical burns! Quite a relief after being man-handled for hours at a local hospital ER for 10 hours,, leaving my eyes traumatized with scratches to both corneas and swollen closed leaving me literally blind! My eyes were open, I could see again and my extreme burning pain was dissipating rapidly! Day 2 now on properly prescibed eyes drops, my eyes are feeling almost back to 100%! I highly recommend this business! Incredible empathic professional staff all around from the waiting room to check-out! This office is the standard of excellence!
