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.
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.

Waited 2 hours to get checked in for a procedure. When I was released I was giving no discharge paperwork or instruction for post op care. I have concerns for my symptoms post op and can’t call the surgeon direction like their office voice mail box say, because I wasn’t given any discharge paperwork. Everytime I call they don’t answer. Would not recommend .

I was given someone else's medicine after surgery. No pain meds. Made to sign papers agreeing to things while under the influence of heavy duty medicine and pain after surgery. Come to find out I agreed to them doing and giving things they never did. Support hose were not put on, but charged. I am in chronic pain intercrainal pressure and a mass in my chest from this surgery for 2 years. With no help to understand my symptoms nor explain. Unprofessional, cruel, and dishonest Doctor who fixes the records with lies to cover their butt. I would not wish this place on my worst enemy. Stay away this "Company" it is not looking out for you. It is assembly line treatment with a very greedy surgeon who is dishonest, and just wants to book as many surgeries as he can with no regard to the lack of management at his surgery center or practice, or admits when he has a failed surgery, to help you understand why so much pain when he IS the Doctor he did go to medical school, he knew what the problem was, and lied and offered no help in understanding when he fully knows what complications come with this surgery. Sadistic Snake oil salesman who will destroy your life with his neglect and unprofessional behavior. Keep in mind whoever has medi cal or medi care this owner will be paid wether they help you, or handdicapp you. Do the math.

I was seen 3 times at the center and every time I was received very well. Even with Covid they had up to date safety protocols and attended me with ease and respect. I recommend the center to everyone. Aaron D.

My experience at the surgery center have all been positive and successful. The doctors have been very efficient and kind. The nursing staff is personal and extremely pleasant and also effective. I will have another procedure soon and I have no qualms or anxiety about what will happen thanks to the staffs attention to details.
