Procedures Performed

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

Orthopaedic Surgery6
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.
Interventional Pain Management6
Epidural Steroid InjectionsSteroid medication is injected near irritated spinal nerve roots to calm inflammation causing sciatica or arm pain. Often used to make physical therapy tolerable rather than as a standalone cure. There are limits on how frequently they can be repeated.Nerve Block InjectionsAnesthetic, sometimes with steroid, is injected around a specific nerve to interrupt pain signals. Used both to treat pain and to identify its source, since relief from a precisely placed block points to the nerve responsible.Radiofrequency AblationHeat generated by radio waves disables the small nerves carrying pain signals from an arthritic spinal joint. Relief commonly lasts six months to two years. Because the nerves regenerate over time, the procedure can be repeated.Spinal Cord StimulationA device delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to interrupt chronic pain signals before they reach the brain. A temporary trial period is done first, so you can judge the benefit before committing to a permanent implant.Joint InjectionsSteroid or lubricating medication is injected directly into an arthritic or inflamed joint. Image guidance is often used to confirm placement. Relief typically lasts weeks to months and can make physical therapy more productive.Trigger Point InjectionsA local anesthetic is injected into a taut, tender knot of muscle to break the spasm-and-pain cycle. The appointment takes minutes and you can usually return to normal activity the same day.

My mom recently had surgery at Cerritos Surgery Center, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff was kind, professional, and incredibly reassuring. Everyone took the time to explain each step of the process, which helped ease both my mom’s and my own nerves. The nurses were attentive and compassionate, making sure my mom was comfortable and cared for before and after surgery. The facility itself was very clean and well-organized, which made us feel confident she was in good hands. Thank you to the doctor, nurses, and staff for treating my mom with such respect and kindness. We are truly grateful and would highly recommend this surgery center to anyone looking for excellent care.

Had knee surgery here a few weeks ago and I was very pleased with the process. My surgeon was amazing and the staff there was very kind. They had many surgeries that day, so you can tell they were trying to make sure everything and everyone was in order.

I had a procedure done on my left knee July 11. The staffing was excellent and extremely nice to me. They really made me feel at home during the process leading up to my surgery. I’m still recovering and about to start my therapy in a few days. Thanks again for the outstanding hospitality and a job well done.

I had my Hip replaced at this location. Incredible staff, Incredible nurses, and doctors are top-notch. No one wants to have surgery done, but if you have to... this is the place. Very professional, clean, and friendly. I even arrived at 3AM, they were awake and greeted me with a smile!
