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.

I would first want to say my cataract surgery was successful. The staff after check in i.e…nurses, assistants and doctors were outstanding. The process to get there was a challenge. The biggest issue was the amount due at the time of surgery. I might suggest if you have time, check with your medical insurance to confirm whether deductibles etc are met. The estimates provided are best case scenario. I came out of pocket more than anticipated. Second you can check with other surgical centers to see if their prices are competitive. Dr. Achal Patel and staff members especially Tina a Phoenician Eye specialists were great to work with and I would recommend their services to my friends. Good luck if you are moving forward with cataract surgery I have no regrets.

Arrived 10.45am, checked in by 11.15 good strart Student nurse checked me in asking all the questions I just filled out when I arrived, no eye contact. Student nurse tried to put in the IV, blew the vien, the teaching nurse put in the IV. DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTACT FOR 3 HOURS. Back was screaming, couldn't get out of bed, no nurse support. Finally Anastiliogist arrived to knock me out, good guy. Woke up in Lazer room. Lazer or lazer tech could not get the lazer to vacuum lock. Third time it actually worked, final tech said it had to be done in a specfic sequence. During the Lazer wait for the tech and doctor (20 minutes, a student (valley girl on Speed pills) would not shut up about her life. Nothing to do with the procedure, all words were (Like, Really, Amazing, just like, Um, every other word that made no sense). Very unprofessional. Finally relased to my ride home at 445pm 5 &1/2 hours later. Nursing manager and location director need to be replaced or set a new tone of profesionalism that does not exist in this facility.

My first eye surgery went OK. I wasn't called till the night before at 4 pm to discuss charges etc. By then it was too late to discuss with my doctor. The second visit I was never called. Then the day of the procedure the nurse and I had an issue regarding my IV. I ended up leaving without have my cataract surgery. The manager never called to follow up on what happened. This is not how you treat your patients

The surgery was delayed for 3 hours for the whole waiting room full of people. You can't eat before you go and so my mom was feeling faint before they got to her. The MA violated HIPPA by asking my mom all kinds of personal questions in the lobby full of people.
