Procedures Performed

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

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.
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.
Bunion Correction (Bunionectomy)The bony prominence at the base of the big toe is removed and the bone realigned, often with screws or plates. Recovery involves weeks in a protective shoe or boot, and swelling can persist for several months.Hammertoe CorrectionA toe permanently bent at the middle joint is straightened, sometimes with a temporary pin holding the correction. Considered when the toe rubs painfully in shoes or has developed calluses and sores.Plantar Fascia ReleaseThe tight band of tissue along the bottom of the foot is partially released to relieve stubborn heel pain. Reserved for cases that have not improved after months of stretching, orthotics, and other conservative treatment.Ankle ArthroscopyA small camera and instruments treat problems inside the ankle joint — impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage — through incisions a few millimeters wide, avoiding a larger open exposure.Ingrown Toenail RemovalThe edge of a nail growing into the surrounding skin is removed under local anesthesia. When the problem keeps recurring, the nail-forming tissue at that edge is also treated so it does not grow back.Foot Fracture RepairBroken bones in the foot are realigned and stabilized with hardware so they heal in position. Because the foot bears your full weight with every step, alignment matters more here than the small bone size suggests.

Thank you to the entire team—everyone was so nice, upbeat, and encouraging. From check-in to the procedure, everything was handled in a professional and organized way. The wait time was normal, and I appreciated that the clinic took the time to go over paperwork, start the IV, and follow all precautions instead of rushing. To be honest the patients need to silence their cell phones and I hope they implement that in the future. I arrived at 12:30 and was finished by 3:30, which is completely reasonable. I would much rather a clinic take their time and do things right than rush and risk mistakes. Everything went smoothly, and so far, so good after my neck epidural. The staff truly cared, and it showed. As a bonus, Hotel California was playing when they knocked me out, which gave me a good laugh. Overall, a great experience, and I’m very thankful for such a supportive team.

I would love to give this facility a five star review, but I can't. The staff is wonderful and the medical care is great, but the scheduling system is apparently modeled after the Soviet Unions systems. A patient is scheduled for a procedure at 7:30 am, comes in and finds several patients already there, then is told the Doctor won't arrive until 8 am. In case that's not inconsiderate enough for you, you will have to wait four hours until your procedure is done. A patient has to adhere to the fasting rules, the patient arranges transportation, which is costly or inconvenient, if not both, and then waits four hours past the scheduled appointment. How is this fair, considerate and helpful to the patient? How does it help a person in pain, to stand in the waiting room waiting for a procedure, just because scheduling purposely stacked appointments on top of each other, knowing full well it negatively affects the patient. Unacceptable!

It’s not patient care, it’s patient inventory. They scheduled multiple patients at the same time, and do not honor your appointment time. My mother waited over an hour to get called back. I kindly asked the receptionist (45 min after her scheduled appointment) if she had an idea when she was going to get called back; she wouldn’t look me in the eye let, alone answer my question. She just said they schedule patients all at the same time times. Again, I had to ask if she had an eta. still no reply and she was rude. As if I interpreted her lunch hour. I understand they have many people to tend to, but the receptionist shouldn’t make your visit worse than it already is. No one wants to be there, be kind, or get another receptionist. The first person you see could make or break your business.

I never seen the most caring most professional staffs have I in received from there. There was a time I had to use the restroom and one of the staff members took me to the restroom but while I was taking to the back area because the other restroom was full someone's occupying it I came across the staff the whole team praying to God the help them perform medical procedures and that the patients will recover safely for our lives were in their hands and I really moved by it. In all my lifetime I never came across all the staff members praying for every procedure come out well the patients will be safely in their hands. I was moved by them n and it touched me deeply. Not only the spiritual aspect but the professional of the staff as well I recommend anyone to them.

First time I came here it was all fine and dandy, waited 2 hours in waiting room to be called then when my turn I felt like I was in and out of there, today been in wait for ,4 hours had my intake already it's just waiting for a bed now at 4 1/2 hours. All clients that came in after me went in 2 hours before me already. I don't understand why they book so many patients if they can't actually handle it. They have 2 doctors doing the procedures if it was actual surgery I would of been done in a 2 hours time frame starting from time of arrival. Need better facility and more efficient staff. Well I finally went for my turn the nurse who handled me Simone, was awesome. Very friendly and spoke to me with enthusiasm and care. Did my IV in one go and was off for my procedure. Which was always quick and greatly done. It's just the time of wait that's always the worst
