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.

Just had my third surgery here and I can't say enough praises about all of the staff especially Terry, Dan, Luis, and Sarah as well as Dr Dan the anesthesiologist! Surgery can be a very anxious process, but the ASCNC staff treat everyone like VIPs! My orthopedic surgeon Dr. David Fabi uses ASCNC exclusively and I understand why, they're the best!

I had my first every surgery here for my knee and it such an amazing experience ✨️ all the staff members made me feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed. I freaked out when I woke up from the anesthesia but Lorie assured me I was safe and calmed me down in such a nice way. Terrie was such a sweetheart and my OR nurse Tiffany was perfect. Dr. Wymore did an amazing job as well as all the same members that were part of my surgical team. 10/10 highly recommend 👌

I had a total hip replacement on 10/31/19 By Dr. David Fabi at this facility. Aside from the building being impeccably clean, the staff are what made my time there so remarkable . Everyone from the time I walked through the front door until wheeled out the back, were phenomenal. So much care and compassion! I was specifically attended to by Aaron, Lori, and Janet who were amazing. I would give 10 stars if possible. Thank you Advanced Surgery Center!

3 weeks ago I had a total knee replacement done. The entire staff is absolutely amazing!! I had 3 nurses, I believe, my anesthesiologist, and my surgeon. Oh, I can't forget about the young lady at the front desk as well! Everyone was so wonderful there. So compassionate, understanding, extremely thorough with explaining everything! I had the best care I have ever had having surgery. I've had 5 surgeries total now. They were absolutely amazing!! I highly recommend this surgery center. For having a total knee replacement, these people were the perfect pick. Thank you everyone who helped!
