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.

It is perplexing to read some of the 1-star reviews, and am glad /grateful that my experiences have not been anywhere close to this. I have been getting periodic epidural injections for my chronic back pain I think since late 2023 or early 2024. The check-in process has always been smooth, processes efficient, and the care shown by the RN's has been genuine. I've always had the chat with the anesthesiologist prior to the procedure (not general but rather conscious sedation). This center should be training other medical centers on how to be efficient , getting patients prepped fast, in and out in timely manner. On top of that, I've had the added bonus of nurses and other staff with excellent senses of humor. I sure hope that I never have the experience of the 1-star patients, because I've come to expect only 5-star service here!

My rating only applies to their billing procedures. Specialty surgical center demanded upfront payment for cataract surgery even though they are contracted with my insurance. They are supposed to bill my insurance first. They assured me if I paid too much I would get an immediate refund. It’s been 2 months since my surgery. Still waiting for that immediate refund! And similar to other reviews here, no one in billing returns my calls!! Very scammy place!! I will be happy to review the care I received once I receive my overpayment!!

I went there yesterday for a procedure and the staff could not have been better. Especially Katie who looked after me in pre-op and the nurse who checked on me post-op (forgot her name unfortunately) many thanks to you all for making a very nervous patient feel at ease.

My wife and I both had cataract surgery. The result is absolutely wonderful. Dr. Kamen is the best. He took great care to make sure we were comfortable. And his follow up care has been super. My wife wants to thank Dr Anderson, the anesthesiologist, the prep nurse Mineyer and Inna (sp) and the recovery nurses Odessa and Grecita (sp), the surgical Tech Mathew and the others too numerous to thank. The care was the best!

My experience at this surgery center was incredibly distressing. After my surgery, I was in severe pain, but instead of offering care or monitoring me post-anesthesia, a nurse insisted that I had to leave immediately, saying, ‘after surgery you have to leave.’ Despite being in intense pain, they refused to provide any assistance or even monitor my condition as I woke up from anesthesia. Once I was in the car, the pain was unbearable, and I ended up having to call 911. The ambulance had to take me to the emergency room since the surgery center neglected my care and dismissed my pain entirely. Adding to the frustration, the nurses lacked proper injection skills—I was painfully injected over 10 times by three different nurses who blamed my ‘thick skin’ for their difficulties rather than acknowledging their own technique issues. I have bruises on my hands and arms. Throughout the experience, they even spoke in their own language in front of me without explanation. This surgery center showed a shocking lack of professionalism, compassion, and basic care. I would not recommend this facility to anyone seeking responsible medical care.
