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.
Bunion Correction (Bunionectomy)The bony prominence at the base of the big toe is removed and the bone realigned, often with screws or plates. Recovery involves weeks in a protective shoe or boot, and swelling can persist for several months.Hammertoe CorrectionA toe permanently bent at the middle joint is straightened, sometimes with a temporary pin holding the correction. Considered when the toe rubs painfully in shoes or has developed calluses and sores.Plantar Fascia ReleaseThe tight band of tissue along the bottom of the foot is partially released to relieve stubborn heel pain. Reserved for cases that have not improved after months of stretching, orthotics, and other conservative treatment.Ankle ArthroscopyA small camera and instruments treat problems inside the ankle joint — impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage — through incisions a few millimeters wide, avoiding a larger open exposure.Ingrown Toenail RemovalThe edge of a nail growing into the surrounding skin is removed under local anesthesia. When the problem keeps recurring, the nail-forming tissue at that edge is also treated so it does not grow back.Foot Fracture RepairBroken bones in the foot are realigned and stabilized with hardware so they heal in position. Because the foot bears your full weight with every step, alignment matters more here than the small bone size suggests.

I had a partial knee replacement done here this week. Just want to share my impression of the care and service I received. It was not my first ‘rodeo’ I had a knee replacement a number of years ago. Staff here was AAA+ in caring/explaining everything. Great team of professionals working that truly seem and do enjoy their job! Dr. Galat’s team was great..very pleased with the care and compassion provided. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Dr Tarlow is simply amazing. He did my left partial knee replacement today, he did my right knee in Dec 2019. He is the only Dr to go to, trust me. He also has the best support staff. Everyone makes you feel so relaxed, no anxiety, kinda like you're part of their family. Even this being a "routine" procedure (I bet he can do this with his eyes closed), he and his staff go out of their way to make sure you are informed of what's going on at all times, and again really care for their patients. As a semi-older fellow, I've had enough fake caring in my time to tell the difference. I wish I had a 3rd knee, as I'd be scheduling that procedure already. Of course, do your homework, compare others, but you'll def have him on the top of your list and will not regret chosing him.

Everyone showed a genuine interest in my care and concerns. If ever given the option of hospital versus this surgical center, I would take this location every time. I was one of 2 surgical patients that AM, with everyone attentive. Compare that to a hospital, and there is no comparison. Thanks to everyone there.
