Procedures Performed

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

ACL / MCL ReconstructionRebuilds torn knee ligaments using a graft. ACL tears generally require reconstruction to restore stability, while MCL injuries more often heal without surgery. Full return to sport takes months of rehabilitation, not weeks.Meniscus RepairTreats a tear in the cartilage that cushions the knee, either by stitching the tear or trimming the damaged portion. Repairing preserves more cushioning but requires a longer, more protected recovery than trimming does.Shoulder StabilizationTightens or reattaches stretched and torn tissue after repeated shoulder dislocations. Each dislocation causes further damage, so surgery is often recommended for younger, active patients rather than waiting for the pattern to continue.Tendon RepairReconnects a torn tendon so muscle can move bone again. Because tendons heal slowly and under tension, recovery involves a protected period of immobilization followed by gradual loading — rushing this stage risks re-rupture.PRP InjectionsA sample of your own blood is concentrated into platelet-rich plasma and injected into an injured tendon or joint to support healing. It is typically a same-day office or outpatient procedure. Evidence varies by condition, and insurance frequently does not cover it.Arthroscopic DebridementLoose cartilage, inflamed tissue, and debris are cleaned out of a joint through small incisions. It can relieve mechanical symptoms like catching or locking, though it is not a treatment for widespread arthritis on its own.

I have an autoimmune disease and am immune compromised and I very much appreciate the staff accommodating me by wearing masks. The nurses, staff and Dr. Hill were very nice and made me feel very comfortable. I was nervous before my endoscopy but the nurses made me feel relaxed and appreciated the wonderful care before and after my endoscopy.

Had a procedure with Dr. Brichler recently. He and his staff were very friendly and made everything as comfortable as possible. They kept me informed of what was taking place and answered any questions I had. He followed up within a few days with the results. I will definitely use them again when the time comes.

I had a fantastic experience here for my colonoscopy. Dr. F is a wonderful doctor who listened to my questions and answered them thoroughly and the entire process was very fast and easy. It happened to be my birthday that day, and when I was coming out of anesthesia in the recovery room, all the nurses stood in front of me and they sang Happy Birthday to me. Great doctor’s office. Highly recommend!

Towards the end of August 2023, I had a colonoscopy with Sierra Endoscopy Center. I was terribly afraid, shaking, and crying when I arrived. I had never had an IV, never been knocked out, and certainly never had a colonoscopy. I had many fears. The nurses I met were absolutely amazing. They gave me warmed blankets and made me very comfortable while I waited. They talked to me and asked me things completely unrelated to the procedure to get my mind off of it. I am forever grateful for their care for a stranger like me. They explained everything they were doing so that I wouldn't be afraid of it, and let the doctor know I was anxious. Dr. Hill was also very kind and caring about my nervousness. They quickly got me sedated, and I woke up in my bed at home 5 hours later. I cannot testify what the colonoscopy was like because I never felt it, and really wasn't even there consciously. I am very grateful to the staff for making me comfortable and making the best out of a procedure that nobody really wants to do. I am glad I got it done with this staff. Thank you!!
