Procedures Performed

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

Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery)6
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.
Otolaryngology (ENT Surgery)6
Tonsillectomy / AdenoidectomyThe tonsils and sometimes the adenoids are removed for repeated infections or sleep-disordered breathing. Recovery is notably harder for adults than children, with significant throat pain for a week or more and a real emphasis on staying hydrated.Ear Tube PlacementTiny tubes are placed through the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear, most often for children with recurrent ear infections. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and the tubes usually fall out on their own within a year.Sinus Surgery (FESS)A camera and instruments passed through the nostrils open blocked sinus drainage pathways, with no external incisions. Considered for chronic sinusitis that has not improved with medication. Congestion often worsens briefly before it improves.SeptoplastyThe wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils is straightened to improve airflow through a blocked side. It addresses breathing rather than external appearance, though it is sometimes combined with cosmetic reshaping.Turbinate ReductionSwollen tissue inside the nose is shrunk to improve airflow, frequently at the same time as septoplasty. Often the difference between a nose that is structurally straight and one that actually feels open.LaryngoscopyA scope examines the voice box and vocal cords, used for persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or throat pain that has not resolved. Small lesions can sometimes be biopsied or removed during the same procedure.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery6
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.

So many five star reviews, hardly anything left to say. But let me echo those comments as from check in to checkout, all was a 10. Every person knew their gig, all very nice and comforting, covered all the bases on med history, prescriptions and test(s) to be performed in a private area. Although a bit assembly line, it worked flawlessly. Even the anesthesiologist stopped by to double check on my history. Small, but upscale facility, and would highly recommend for any outpatient procedures.

Having any kind of procedure or surgery can be stressful however Encino Outpatient Surgery Center was fantastic, making it a wonderful experience! They took excellent care of me from the beginning at check in, Edith made sure that all my billing and paperwork was correct. My pre-op RN, Paloma, was extremely detail oriented and made sure that she triple checked all of my information. Megan, RN, gave me a painless IV!!! Silvia was so calming in the operating room and Girlie was comforting in recovery. Even Adi who took me down to the car was lovely and kind. Let's also not forget the people who wait and pick us up. Whether it is family or friends, they take time out of their day for us and EOSC recognizes that by providing a lovely waiting area. Yesterday my husband had to step out to take a call for work and EOSC made sure that they notified him as soon as I was ready. Smooth communication which is so important and makes the day less stressful. Thank you to Dr. Glaser and team for providing outstanding care and service.

I never thought going for a routine colonoscopy would be a pleasant experience, but honestly, it could not have been any better. The staff was kind and comforting, the Center was clean and accommodating, and all billing was explained in advance so there were no surprises. All my pre-nervousness and anxiety was for nothing. Thank you to the staff and physicians, especially Sonia, George, Jose, Dr. Mboumi and Dr. Buch. Just fantastic.

I just got my percedure done this morning. I was extremely stressed out and my anxiety level was up in the sky. My nurse try to calm me down and she did an amazing job by just a funny conversation we had together. All the staff provide me with an outstanding service. Felt like I knew them for years. Dr. Glaser is the most amazing, caring and kind heart doctor I’ve ever met! I love love love him so much. May God bless his heart😊

Amazing and wonderful experience today! Wait was short; atmosphere nice and calming... Most important -- the staff and doctors are phenomenal! My Anesthesiologist was Dr. Kahn, and my GI doctor is Dr. Gourdji -- I highly recommend both to anyone. The staff -- Anhita, Sonja, Nicole, Adriana were so wonderful... The BEST was my recovery nurse -- Patty! If I wanted to do a colonoscopy every week, I would have no problem with coming here. But I am content to wait 3 years! Thanks everyone!
