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.
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.

Experience was good. I just need my DMV Form 962 corrected to read New Contact Lenses been prescribed. This box was not checked on my form on 1/23/26. I will bring my form back when I return for the fittings appointment. Everything else was great.

Dr Mehta and staff provided excellent customer service. Dr Mehta was very down to earth, easy to talk to and took the time to answer questions and complete a thorough exam, including extra tests to gain more information on my condition. Highly recommend.

I was a new patient at 18 yrs old(21 now). Staff were amazing, seemed like they all really cared about getting accurate measurements of eyes. They reassured any concerns I had, especially the day of the procedure. While I was being operated on the staff talked about casual things amongst each other. Which I’m SO thankful for. Like updates on their children and all that, really made me get my mind off of what was happening. I didn’t even notice when they asked me something😂 Previously I was barely able to see in front of me without glasses or contacts. I now have full function/vision. No pain, dryness, or itchiness. Thank you for giving me my life back!

Dr.Gaede and the staff were awesome. Dr.Gaede cares for his patients he goes out of his way to get to know them. All my siblings and I are returning patients. You can tell he loves his career and that reflects in his demeanor makes us feel confident that we're in good hands. Thank you Dr.Gaede, we need more of you in the health-care field.

Very nice place and people overall. However, they did not explain the timeline I would be waiting at arrival and then for my procedure. I had allotted approximately one and a half hours for my appointment only to find out that they told me it would be approximately 2 1/2 hours while I had other appointments. I ended up having to leave for my other appointment and was advised I had to reschedule a new appointment and start completely over again.
