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.
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.

The quality of care is irrelevant. This facility simply does not respect your time. This is not hyperbole, they will make you wait upwards of an hour passed your check-in before you're even taken back to a room. Nobody answers the phone. If you manage to get a return call, you are given the general phone line as a call back number; which again, nobody answers.

Dani (Danielle) at the front gets six stars. The intake nurse in the back that didn’t have her badge on needs to work on her bedside manner. “You didn’t ask the doctor about a work not when he was in here 30 seconds ago?!” (Please note I had asked at the front and there was a GIANT yellow sticky note on the chart about it). She gets uppity “well now he’s dictating! So now I have to go interrupt his dictations!!!!! it is your responsibility as the patient point of contact to handle these things when the doctor is in the room.” No dear. I told you guys. It’s your responsibility as the healthcare professionals to provide said note now. I told you guys and you had a sticky note you waved in my face. He literally had walked about 30 seconds before she walked in. I would be impressed if you got to a computer or a recorder that fast, but I would never have the gall that she did with any of my patients and I used to be in the Navy, I was a corpsman, I helped during the tsunami relief efforts and and I’ve been doing my job for 21 years in the medical field. I would never have the audacity to even talk to a Marine that didn’t know who his elbow from his ear the way she talked to me. Over a work note. I would say that 90% of the time either the MA or the RN is signing those notes anyways and now you’re making me do extra work for this note. I would never have the gall to say oh my God you’re going to make me interrupt a physician that just walked out of the room to get a note signed for you to get out of work for taking care of your husband. And now because of this, I have to call Dr. Beihls (pronounced bean) office and get the note because she wouldn’t give it to me. Where does she get off with that uppity the attitude that she thinks she can talk to anyone like that? Because I am not happy and if I knew her name, I would happily put this in here but because she wasn’t wearing a badge which magically appeared after I mentioned to my husband that I think it was banner policy to wear a badge but then she had it flipped backwards, so I couldn’t see her name. But I would come back for Dani any day! So respectful of HIPAA laws and so pleasant!!!!! 6 stars for Dani! Dr Behil (bean, I know I am spelling it wrong) was good. Appreciated the follow up call after surgery and care coordination.

Went in for a hand procedure. ALL of the staff, from front desk to prep to O.R. and recovery were amazing! They all made the entire process and procedure pleasant and seamless. Dr. Carr was awesome as well. I can't say enough positives about this staff and facility!

I was having a very stressful morning while taking my son to get surgery. The staff at the surgery center completely turned my morning around! Every single employee was happy, kind, and supportive. I’ve never experienced an entire staff being that welcoming. They made a hard experience somewhat easier. 5 stars!
