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.
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.

I just had my first ever surgery at lighthouse surgical center. Having my surgery done by Dr. Ha and his team was the best decision I could have made. Everyone I interacted with was compassionate, caring, personable and highly knowledgeable. I was scared and nervous for my surgery but the nurse taking care of me eased my worries and I felt confident in everyone's expertise. My overall experience at lighthouse surgery center was amazing and exceeded my expectations. I am beyond grateful to have had my surgery done there. Thank you to the team that took care of me. I appreciate you all 🩷

Was greeted by Taylor,and Taryn for pre op . Made me feel comfortable. MD McAllister did a great job replacing my knee. And Maya and Sue greeted me at post op. Very thorough with the discharge info and PT instructions. Finally received a call from Debbie to go over yesterday's procedure and any follow up questions. All in all a very good experience. Thanks everyone.

I had finger surgery here at Lighthouse Center and I must say if I can give more than five stars I would . My experience was amazing! From Jade in the receptionist area to all of my pre op nurse Kaley. With my OR staff Brent RN fully explaining anesthesia process also including Amanda & Elizabeth. My recovering staff for making it easy going knowing that I have bad anxiety. The facility is absolutely beautiful, clean and the staffs professionalism, communication skills, patience with welcoming nature contributed to making my stay a very less stressful. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Thanks again!

My husband has had 2 orthopedic surgeries here so far. Both times the drs were great, surgeries went well, and I received a phone call post op to notify me how everything went. The waiting area is very clean and nicely designed, with couches, chairs, booths, small tables that can be moved around, and even a desk/ workstation area. There's also a vending machine and coffee refreshment station. Bathrooms are clean as well. Staff were very friendly, and the check in process has been quick both times. The cost surgery things ran behind so my husband was waiting in pre op for a while, the second surgery was a bit more on time. Either way, about an hour in pre op should be expected. If you are waiting there while your loved one has surgery, they give you a parking pass for your car. They have a dedicated discharge area where they release the patient so you can drive around and pull up right at the door to pick them up and take them home.
