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.
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.
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.

I appreciate all the attention explanation and care they gave us during this knee replacement experience. Care of patients attention to family of patient. I really value appreciate the care and attention thank you. This place made the surgery time feel like 15 minutes. I wasn’t worried afraid and they answered my question as many times as I walked up to ask. The plasmas TV showing my loved ones process and when he was at all minutes. My best medical hospital experience in my life. Thank you Dr Bawa

Thousand Oaks Surgical Center is a fantastic hospital but it does not feel or look like a hospital. Every room is private with windows and bathroom, along with a sitting area. The entire staff was friendly, helpful, and very professional! I had a hip replacement and ended up spending the night. The amount of care I received was amazing! I have all the names of the individuals which include nurses, doctors, that I came in contact with, and listed them in a Los Robles Hospital survey. To top it off, the food was excellent!

TOSH was probably the best hospital experience I have ever had. I had a total knee replacement here and everyone from registration to physical therapy were absolutely top notch. I cant remember all of my nurse's names but preop nurse was fabulous, postoperative Marianna, Ari, Mary, Cindy and Brianna were wonderful. Dr Bawa, Dr Lam and PA Lauren...I cannot thank you enough. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

I truly wanted to give TOSH a 5 star review. I came here recently for a double mastectomy. Dr Nikita Shah is the absolute best. I stayed overnight and Dr. Shah saw me first thing, the next day, to make sure I was doing well and recovering nicely. The nurses - Marilou, Dawn, Charli, Mariana, Ari and Iman (I hope I spelled her name right) were great! Especially, Charli... I just have to give her props. So why am I only giving TOSH 3 stars? Because of the charge/lead nurse, Cindy. I will call her out - you do not speak to your colleagues the way you speak to them in front, in ear shot, or at all the way you spoke to one of them around me. One of the nurses came in to check my vitals. And mind you, it started getting busy. I can hear their bells going off... as my nurse finished up, she walks out and I heard Cindy ask her once "What were you doing?" My nurse answered, CLEARLY, "I just checked her vitals." Cindy asked a second time, the SAME question in an insolent tone. My nurse was in mid sentence to repeat herself, when Cindy just walks in the room, looks at me and asks "I was just checking, did she just take your vitals?" Umm... I was a bit confused and very much taken aback. I answered yes (of course). Wow. The second time Cindy wanted to make herself important was to walk in as my nurse was going over discharge papers and how to drain my drainage pouches, before I left to go home. Cindy states, in that same insolent voice of hers "I am here to see if she cleared your table" (my lunch or what was left of it was still on the table). Cindy sees it's not cleared and proceeds to take it away. There was an unopened "to go" bowl of salad I wanted for later, so I politely asked if it would be okay for me to take it. She asks me to repeat myself. I did. And she just gives me this sneering look. That was so unprofessional and left me feeling like I was beneath her. The last thing she did as my nurse was about to wheel me out for pick up was to blatantlyi gnore her. My nurse wanted to double check that she was good to go in getting me wheeled out. As we were exiting the hospital room, my nurse asks Cindy, "I am taking her out now, is that okay?" NO RESPONSE. Cindy is looking right at us. Again, my nurse asks "Can I take her out now?" By this time, the other nurse who was helping with me that morning steps out from another room, same distance away as Cindy and waves us off as if to say, yes it's okay. One person! It took just one person to make such a wonderful facility, filled with compassionate and caring professionals become such a bad experience. I don't understand how Cindy was the lead. I won't even put the title of Nurse in front of her name. She doesn't deserve it. You may have gone to school, received your degree, but this "job" isn't for you. I didn't ask to have cancer nor was it one of my life's goals to undergo a double mastectomy. But, Cindy, you chose to be a Nurse and work at TOSH - at least be good at it. I spent time away from my loving family and little boy just to be subjected to your unprofessionalism. Truly, truly disheartening.

Any kind of surgery can be stressful, however, spinal surgery is a little more serios than usual. From my first contact with nurse Leslie, to checking in with Carolyn to my admission nurse Lynn, to my surgical nurse Nuni, along with Sebastian and my anesthesiologist Wayne, made me feel at ease. They were kind, considerate, calm and patient. I also had to stay over night. My nurses Angela, Molly and especially Laura ( I believe that was her name; I was a little out of it) were soooo kind, attentive, and best of all had great senses of humor; which really helps in stressful times. The room and the food (yes, hospital food!) were fantastic. I actually wanted to move in! Thank you all at TOSH
