Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

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.
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.

I had a frustrating experience with the front desk. I made multiple attempts to call and cancel my appointments in advance, but was unable to reach anyone by phone. Despite this, I was still charged a no-show fee. I also explained that I could not afford the procedure and was trying to cancel with proper notice, yet only one of my appointments was actually canceled. I hope the office can improve their communication and responsiveness so other patients do not run into the same issue.

Dr. Arenas was extremely knowledgeable and able to respond to all my questions, took time to explain everything clearly, and made us feel comfortable and respected. I appreciated the thoughtful approach and professionalism. Both parents are content and satisfied with Dr. A's competence.

After being brushed off and not taken seriously for YEARS, Dr Miguel Arenas finally made me feel seen. This center got me an appointment in a TIMELY manner (the next week; even as a new patient), they scheduled my procedures in a timely manner, and they made me feel BELIEVED. Dr Arenas was very friendly and always greeted me by my name and prescribed me with a treatment that made a significant improvement. I cannot recommend enough.

I’ve paid for 2 visits to see nurse practitioner alicia encinas and after my 2nd visit I recently discovered that she’s been lying about how my appointments have been going for some unknown reason, she’s reported doing a physical exam at both appointments to which never happened, on top of that I got a call from their office after I reported it to where they stated in a shocked manor “she’s never listened to your lungs or pushed on your abdomen to examine?” Which is probably not a good thing lol and most of the appointment she doesn’t even look at me just tosses a prescription at me and types away at her computer, she’s straight up lied on my medical documents about me “denying” certain symptoms that she’s actively reported me having? On top of that she has never once taken a single one of my symptoms seriously, somehow my original physical exam I had “no abdominal pain” but that’s the exact reason I was at the appointment. This is the kind of person that gives nurses and doctors a bad wrap on how they don’t take their jobs seriously or their patients I would recommend anyone else at this office hopefully they take you more seriously then she ever took me

Do not go here if you want a thorough doctor's visit. While the front desk and MA's are nice, the encounter with the provider was NOT. I saw the Nurse Practitioner Kristina and she could give a damn about me or my diagnosis. They even called to give me my severe diagnosis results on the phone, left a message, and when I tried calling back I couldn't get a hold of anyone. I do not know if this is how Dr. Arenas acts, however it is bad enough for me to ask for a 2nd opinion. Kristina was cold, short, and barely answered all of my questions. The entire time I felt like I was a nuisance to her, even though I am the patient just trying to be engaged in my overall health. It is not the worst place in the world, but I sure won't be back.
