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.
Otolaryngology (ENT Surgery)6
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.
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.
Podiatry (Foot & Ankle Surgery)6
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.

On February 5, 2025 I was a patient at the O&SSC for a surgical procedure. Pre/procedure communication was excellent. We arrived early and met with an admissions clerk who was friendly and completed all the forms that needed to be signed. I had a very short wait before my nurse came to the waiting room to bring me back to the preop area. For some unexplained reason my husband was not allowed to accompany me to this area. I saw several other patients with family members that were allowed to accompany a patient. As thorough as my nurse was with completing the admission process she was sorely inadequate in her IV insertion skills. As an RN`- retired now- I know that you don’t slap had veins to “wake them up.” It was painful and I told her so. But after she blew the first attempt she decided to try my other arm. Now most nurses explore both arms prior to insertion to identify the best site for IV insertion. Not this one. She even persisted with smacking the back of my hand which I informed her was very painful and wasn’t necessary. She finally accessed my vein just above my wrist which was very painful and did not immediately flow. Another nurse checked and moved the IV and said it was running but remained very painful. After an hour or so when the OR called for me we found it was extremely infiltrated and I had to have a restart. This was a different RN that was sending me to the OR. She accessed an antecubital vein in my arm quickly and rather painlessly. Now at 12 days post op the infiltrated IV site is now progressing to mustardly yellow and is less painful. I must also comment that no one gave me a nurse call light!!! This really affects patient safety! I would like to recommend evaluation and re-education on IV insertion techniques to the nursing staff. My husband and I have experienced better care at Danbury Hospital and Yale New Haven than we did at O&SSC. However, with some improvements I would be willing to utilize their services at my physicians request.

Since the surgery center opened, I’ve heard raving reviews about the quality of care and today, I can confirm that the facility is worth every star. Even before coming in for surgery, the staff was wonderful. Christine (sp?) at the front desk was ever patient answering several questions about my deductible and final costs. The communication before surgery was very clear and every staff member was incredibly attentive. I have been to the Ridgebury Road clinic for office visits, but this was my first time at the surgery center. The pictures online don’t do it justice! The waiting area is bright, colorful, and calming, and the pre-op and recovery areas are spacious and spotless. I felt like I was very well attended to, but also had enough privacy when I wanted and needed it. Every single person I encountered today from the woman registering me, the nurses, Dr. Levin himself, and Boris the amusing anesthesiologist, were remarkable. They were gentle, caring, and efficient. I felt heard whenever I had any problems and never felt like I was a bother. Everyone was easy to chat with, explained everything well, and treated me like a person, not just someone on their “list.” While my surgery was on the longer side, I couldn’t believe how smoothly everything ran. I arrived at the facility at 7:30 and was leaving by 1:30 tops—no sitting in limbo for hours on end. And my friend was able to get text message updates throughout my stay to keep her updated about my status. If I ever need surgery again, I’m 100% choosing Dr. Levin and the OSSC facility!

I had a great experience. I had the meniscus in my left knee repaired with Dr. Styles (He's the best, just an awesome person and surgeon). From the time I walked in till the time I left was approximately 2 hours. Things moved along fast but definitely not rushed. The anesthesiologist, nurses, and all support staff were great.
