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 went to see her for a list of eye issues in June of last year. I wanted to see about getting a certain type of medicine to help with my dry eye because my tear ducts do not work and she said we will try that medicine after you give the medicine I’m recommending a shot. The medicine she recommended for me wasn’t even for the condition I had but she falsified information on the paperwork so I can receive the medicine. After extreme pain from this new medicine, I went back to see her six months later. When I explained to her how severe of the pain was she said oh well it would’ve gotten better if you waited a little longer. Everything I read said it would not I’ve gotten better. When I asked her if I could try the medication that I was reading about, she then told me that it wouldn’t work for me and prescribe me a medication That would further hurt my eyes and cause more damage. I recommend you go see another cordial doctor because she doesn’t know how to listen to patients or be open minded to other options besides her own. Keep up the great work, Sherman!

Loved my experience. The staff is very friendly. They explained each step of the exam and what to expect with my eye surgery for my cataracts. Would definitely recommend to others needing cataract eye surgery.

Great office & staff. Dr James Flores is a delight to have as my doctor. He has great bedside manners and makes me feel very comfortable every time I see him.

First thing first, I didn't wait long to be called back from the waiting room. (Five stars at the start). I was treated with kindness and patience as I asked some questions. Top of the line equipment and everyone worked together like a machine. Unfortunately having had RK surgery in the early 90s and with my eyesight failing, the doctor explained to me that there were pretty much no solutions to restore my eyesight. I'm not going blind but, things are blurry both near and far and my eyesight fluctuates very often. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that technology will catch up with my issue. Otherwise, I was very happy with my experience. 😁

I came in for my annual eye exam and had a great experience. The staff was welcoming and efficient, and the wait time was minimal. The doctor was very thorough, explained each step of the exam, and took the time to answer all my questions. I felt like my eye health was really cared for, not just rushed through. The office was clean and organized, and they had a nice selection of frames if you need glasses. I left feeling confident about my vision and well taken care of. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a professional and friendly eye doctor!
