Procedures Performed

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

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 β€” 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.
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 β€” 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 β€” 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.
HysteroscopyA slim camera passed through the cervix examines the inside of the uterus, and can remove polyps or fibroids in the same visit. No abdominal incision is involved. Cramping for a day or two afterward is normal.LaparoscopyA camera and instruments are inserted through small abdominal incisions, allowing diagnosis and treatment without a large open incision. Used for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and pelvic pain, with recovery measured in days rather than weeks.D&C (Dilation and Curettage)The cervix is dilated and the uterine lining removed, for heavy bleeding, after a miscarriage, or to obtain tissue for diagnosis. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes and most people return to normal activity within a day or two.Tubal LigationThe fallopian tubes are sealed, cut, or removed to provide permanent contraception. It should be considered irreversible β€” reversal is not reliably successful, so it is intended for people certain they do not want future pregnancy.Endometrial AblationThe uterine lining is destroyed to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding, offering an alternative to hysterectomy. It is not a contraceptive, and it is only appropriate for those who have completed childbearing.Ovarian Cyst RemovalA persistent, enlarging, or painful ovarian cyst is removed, usually laparoscopically. Surgeons generally aim to remove the cyst while preserving the ovary itself, particularly for patients who may want future pregnancy.
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 β€” impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage β€” 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.

The service has steadly declined. Dr are forced to spend less and less time with patients. Forcing extra stress, and over work and less service. Drs are leaving, I'm on my 4th GP now lost my Ophthalmologist of 12 yrs who has saved my vision from AMD. I wonder if Kaiser adminstrators vision depended on great Drs they would be pressing them so hard and letting them leave.

I had an appointment at lone tree kaiser with Dr. Krista Antenucci. We checked in at 1:57pm. The appointment is at 2:00pm. I came with my sister who is my caregiver and attends all appointments with me. We were called by the nurse around 2:10pm before I went in another patient told me "I wish you will feel better soon". The nurse checked my weight which I have recently lost another 5 pounds because I am not feeling well. - in the span of 1 week. I have been sick since Sunday. The nurse then took me to the room and checked my vitals and asked questions. She said she is concerned because my vitals do not look okay. I already knrw this and told her it is because I am sick and the walk upto the office took a lot of my energy. I am diabetic, type 1 and have a large cyst surrounded by small ones that drain fluids that collect from the big one. They drained 2 days ago and the after math is me getting sick. This has been happening for more than 2 years and it has been happening to often recently almost every 2weeks I am sick. The nurse left and doctor came in at 2:20pm She kept saying that surgery is not happening because she does not believe i need it. My sister explained that i am getting sick to often for the surgery to not be an option and that we have tried everything. The doctor asked what we tried and we told her that we tried pills from demertology and tropical gel. She again said it was not a good fit. My sister mentioned that we have spoken to about 15 doctors at university hospital because I was really sick and admitted to the icu for 3 days. My sister also said to follow up with the Barbara Davis doctor because she is also pushing for the surgery. She said she, Dr. K, in a rude and dismissive way that she will but she does not believe this is the cause for me getting sick all the often. That is not a possibility at all! At this moment me and my sister made eye contact and no longer felt safe or welcomed in her presence. From the moment she walked in it felt like she already made up her mind.i was not feeling well at all and she did not ask about my health at that time or showed she cared. She sat and leaned back in her chair very causally and did not even show a sense of importance to the meeting. My sister has been trying to get me seen for 3 month now since the icu incident. Once we left it was 2:24 and I ran to the bathroom to throw up. I begged my sister to take me home and not the emergency because I was tired and just needed to rest. My sister was upset and crying because she was really hoping for a different outcome because my family is all worried about my care. I let her know that we should switch to university as the primary care. We spoke to the front desk and let them that we were disrespected, gaslighted and dismissed by their doctor, dr.k. they gave a QR code and told us to submit our concerns to this website. Once we did that, we called medicaid and switched to university as the primary care. DR.K owes us a apology for how she treated us We are unsure why she was having a bad day and had an high ego. This is not the care kaiser patients deserve We ask that you please look into this 5 minute hurtful interaction This all happened before she even opened her computer or looked over any charts and notes. She was just set on that this will not be happening and actually blaming me for something I can not control. Especially in my current state at that time with my vitals being very concerning. She did not even ask if I need to be looked at or suggested I receive help down stairs in urgent care. For those who have a appointment with this doctor i suggest that you book or reschedule a different person because she will not give you the care you need

Dr Cole, Migraine injections. Dr Cole, is a very great physician. He is truly here to support every patient in trying to get better or feel better. He was meant to be a Doctor. He wants to treat his patients and help them survive or atleast try and live a normal lifestyle. There aren’t many good doctors anymore. I’m so glad Kaiser has him.

I was treated with respect the entire time I was at the facility. Everyone was kind and offered wonderful customer service. Gizem Espinoza, MA, was the nurse who worked with me and was outstanding! She was pleasant, professional, and made sure I was comfortable and ready for my procedure. Dr. Dubowitch, as usual, was caring, professional, kept me informed, easy to communicate with, and did a fantastic job! I have been very impressed with Kaiser during my removal of kidney stones and post-op visit! Thank you!
