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.
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.

There was confusion concerning paperwork before my procedure. I arrived unsure if they'd received the necessary paperwork. They in fact did receive the paperwork and the procedure was performed without a hitch. I did find out that they did everything they could to ensure the paperwork arrived. They went above and beyond to get the paperwork. So many thanks for that. I also must say that the volunteer gentleman in the lobby was outstanding and if I could have hugged him I would have. My wife loved him. Thank you!

The staff here is great. I received very good care with a carpal tunnel surgery done by Dr. Rauls. I was the first surgery of the day for him and was in and out very quickly. Everyone explained everything in detail and answered any questions. Dr. Rauls even said a prayer before surgery which was impressive in my opinion. I appreciated it very much. Dr. Rauls is very knowledgeable and I have full confidence in him. Having the carpal tunnel surgery is one of the best decision I've ever made, I have ZERO pain now. Praise! I have completely healed up since then. The scar is disappearing quickly.

I have had to have procedures twice in the last two years here. The staff is amazing, everyone is kind, helpful and caring about their patients! My last procedure was 4/2/2025… from the start, all employees were considerate and supportive! Thank you for making this an experience that was positive.

My first surgery at the new outpatient surgery center was a very positive experience. All the nurses were so nice and helpful. Dr Lloret, the anesthesiologist, explained everything and took his time, even with a little humor. He was such a nice man. The ladies in the operating room were great as well. They made me feel very comfortable, and weren't in a hurry. The anesthetist was fantastic, I believe her name was Angela. She made me feel so calm when I thought I would need a shot for anxiety, but indeed I didn't. My surgeon, Dr. Rauls did an amazing job on my knee. I'm so happy I chose the right surgeon. Thank you to Baxter Health as well.
