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.

Procedure list is based on CMS-reported specialty designations. Contact the facility to confirm specific procedures offered.

I was there yesterday to pick up a friend after his eye surgery. They allowed me to visit him at the post op recovery room. I was shocked to see a female nurse wearing a leggings as part of her uniform. There she was walking around showing her Camel Toe. This is not the attire of a professional more so of a noble nurse. And why they’re allowing this hideous outfit in a medical profession. I called their attention about this and hope something can be done.

This place is a factory. You are hustled in & out for surgery & you're jammed into the prep area like sardines, separated only by curtains. I could hear every medical conversation. There is zero privacy. As soon as your surgery is done, they rush you into a wheelchair to go so they can have that bed. I have been to other out patient surgical centers & did not experience anything like this. The nurse I had, before he placed the IV, i showed him where I had the best vein. Did he listen, Nope. He had to jab it into my hand, the vein rolled & my hand blew up. I was black & blue & in pain for almost a week. (Photo supplied was taken day 3 after the swelling went down.) He wound up using the vein I told him to use in the beginning. I will say that the Anesthesiologist was very kind & patient with me. I was nervous because I mistakenly thought I would be asleep for the surgery not just a twi-sleep. She explained everything to me. She held my hand. She could not have been nicer or more comforting. The staff in the operating room were also very professional & all introduced themselves to me. The receptionist had told me that the nurses would call my pick up person. My friend even called in to make sure that she would be notified. However, naturally, no one called her; until I did as I was being hustled out of the bed & into a wheelchair. I really didn't need to experience a wait after the stress of the surgery. There is a parking garage. I know the surgical center does validate a portion of the time. Other than the actual surgical staff, I would not recommend this place. Find a different surgeon if this is the place they use. Surgery is stressful enough without feeling like cattle.

My reason for the horrible rating is that although the surgery center had my correct phone number and alternate contact details on record, there was an error with the primary mailing address so I never got a bill for the small coinsurance amount due. 3 YEARS LATER, I get a call from a collection company demanding payment. Of course since the collection company had multiple alternate ways to reach me from the account record the surgery center gave them including an unchanged phone number it took all of about 5 minutes to clear the account after the collection agency made one phone call. SO BEWARE of billing that never reaches you. Remember that the surgery center charges separately and apparently makes no effort other than snail mail to reach you if payment is not received.
