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.
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.

Dr. Popham is wonderful, professional, caring and I love his sense of humor. His staff on the other hand were not friendly or returned any phone calls. I attended an appointment with my mother and was not happy or impressed with the staff at this location. It’s not difficult to return a promised phone call and the times that I called to get an answer the receptionist who answered was very upset and impatient. The two females are currently the two young girls at the front desk. Upon reading a slew of reviews my mother won't be returning to this location.

My experience with Dr Vaishnav and the surgical team was excellent. I was referred to PAOS through Kaiser, and the billing and coverage were seamlessly handled between PAOS and KP. I needed ptosis and blepharoplasty procedures for both eyes, and Dr Vaishnav listened to and delivered on what I wanted in terms of a natural appearance. The procedure was quick and the surgical team was caring and personable. My vision is much more open and brighter thanks to Dr Vaishnav and PAOS.

Dr. Yash Vaishnav is amazing! I’ve had the bad luck of having to get a Mohs procedure near my eye, in my 30s, and although it’s been unfortunate to have to have it done at my age Dr. Vaishnav not only did a great job with my procedure, but also has provided great continuity of care post op. I still have scarring and swelling (which is totally normal) a few months post op, and he has been diligent with follow ups in order to get me as close to normal as possible. Some surgeons just preform the surgery and move on, but he has truly cared about the healing of my eye and my concerns. I’m very happy I was referred to him and his team and would recommend him to anyone going through the same thing!

Genuinely one of the best healthcare experiences of my life! Dr. Popham was so kind, considerate and through when he told me that the lump I’ve had on my eye for the last few years that many other doctors had said was nothing serious was likely cancer. And his skill set under the knife is honestly artistry in itself. I showed my uncle who’s been an orthopedic surgeon his whole life and he and his colleagues/ friends were all amazed by how tight, precise and clean this surgery went through. I am still recovering (9 days post surgery) but will try to remember to post more pictures as this continues to heal. But I am so grateful for him, his amazing nurses and his surgery scheduler Andee. The communication, care, and expertise I had made this whole experience a really joyful one instead of being a hellish one. As someone who used to work in health care I swear up and down that these are the best of the best! Park avenue oculoplastic surgeons are truly a top shelf practice!
