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.

Dr. Price and her crew are wonderful. Cyndi in the optical shop shop helped me get fitted with two new pair of glasses and they fit perfectly.

God forbid ask any question -I do not care who you dealt with prior to me, I am a person and a paying customer. The office staff are some of the most unhappy people I have met.…more than one person down there needs to be treated as they treat. Sad because Dr Price is awesome and thorough- office staff make the visit worth while or not. This is an addition to the original post, opinions have not changed! I have tried to pay my bill three times. The woman in billing is so rude that I would rather bite my nose off to spite my face then to pay anything. She was willing to take my payment with 25 extra percent charge Because she was sending it to collections. That is blackmail… I’m willing to pay you right now for the third time $500 but since I made you Mad because I called you out and want to send me to collections, I get to pay 25% more? What sense does that make? That’s OK I hope She is treated equally as well in her future. I am surprised that these people let her run their billing department this way.
