Procedures Performed

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

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.

Surgery That Didn’t Happen I don’t even know where to begin. My mom was supposed to have carpal tunnel surgery today, but it turned into a complete fiasco. First, we arrived at the surgery center in San Diego at 6:30 AM for her 7:30 AM procedure. To our surprise, the place was empty. After several attempts to reach someone, I finally got in touch with the coordinator of another doctor, who informed me that the surgery had been rescheduled to 12 PM. This was shocking, as we had received no prior notification of this change. Determined to get through the day, we returned at 11 AM. This time, a supervisor approached us and explained that the surgery had to be postponed by a few hours because a critical part of the equipment needed for the surgery was missing. This news was incredibly upsetting, especially since my mom had not eaten or drunk any water for 15 hours in preparation. The supervisor assured us that he would personally go to Marietta to retrieve the part and asked us to come back at 12:30 PM. By now, I was beyond frustrated and annoyed. The equipment should have been prepared and ready to go on the day of the surgery. It was infuriating that they only discovered the missing part after we returned at 11 AM. Nevertheless, we came back at 12:30 PM, only to be informed that the person fetching the part would take three more hours due to traffic, and they couldn’t provide an exact arrival time. We waited until 2 PM, but the GPS showed he was still in Marietta, two hours away from San Diego. The entire situation was a nightmare of poor communication and disorganization. We wasted the entire day for nothing, were repeatedly lied to, and my mom had gone over 18 hours without eating. This experience was completely unacceptable and deeply disappointing.
