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.
Tonsillectomy / AdenoidectomyThe tonsils and sometimes the adenoids are removed for repeated infections or sleep-disordered breathing. Recovery is notably harder for adults than children, with significant throat pain for a week or more and a real emphasis on staying hydrated.Ear Tube PlacementTiny tubes are placed through the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear, most often for children with recurrent ear infections. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and the tubes usually fall out on their own within a year.Sinus Surgery (FESS)A camera and instruments passed through the nostrils open blocked sinus drainage pathways, with no external incisions. Considered for chronic sinusitis that has not improved with medication. Congestion often worsens briefly before it improves.SeptoplastyThe wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils is straightened to improve airflow through a blocked side. It addresses breathing rather than external appearance, though it is sometimes combined with cosmetic reshaping.Turbinate ReductionSwollen tissue inside the nose is shrunk to improve airflow, frequently at the same time as septoplasty. Often the difference between a nose that is structurally straight and one that actually feels open.LaryngoscopyA scope examines the voice box and vocal cords, used for persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or throat pain that has not resolved. Small lesions can sometimes be biopsied or removed during the same procedure.
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.

I was so nervous about getting my tonsils taken out but I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The staff took such great care of me. Special thanks to Dr. Willis, Christine & Violeta at the front desk, Herman who was in the OR and was so nice and caring. Heather was one of the nurses as well and she was amazing. A super special thank you to Ruby & Krystina who made me feel so safe the entire time. Ruby helped me feel so seen with my food allergies and making sure to at all of my medications were safe. A special thank you to the anesthesiologist as well, whose name I didn’t catch but she was amazing.

The staff here at Dry Creek Surgery Center was wonderful during my surgery. Exceptional kindness. The staff was compassionate and non-judgmental. If I ever need another operation (here’s to hoping I do not), I would feel safe here to have it done. Updated Review - still 5 stars! Krystina and Meg were my pre and post op nurses and they were fantastic. The entire staff at this surgical center is awesome. This is what medical care should strive to be like. Comforting, caring, and supportive.

Today our daughter had surgery on her nose. We started like any other surgery day with getting an IV to start…well our daughter is a hard stick! 8 x until the IV was successful in the foot. The nursing staff was amazingly patient, empathetic, kind, encouraging, and rallied until they had a plan and solution! I’ve never felt so encouraged and well taken care of. I highly recommend the staff here for your next surgery. The staff is truly one of a kind! #thankanursetoday #Nicole #Christina #MaryAnn #Ruby

I just had surgery at Dry Creek Surgery Center, and I can't say enough positive things about my experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and at ease. They turned what could have been a stressful event into a surprisingly enjoyable one. A special shoutout to Jenny, who went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and well taken care of. Her upbeat personality and extra attention truly made a difference. I highly recommend Dry Creek Surgery Center for anyone in need of their services.
