Procedures Performed

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

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.

The center is professionally run. The nurses were wonderful and knew their jobs. Dr Yong Park is medically and interpersonally excellent. I have been to the center at least four times, all with very positive results in reducing my neck, back and arm pain. Thank you to one and all.

HI Went back to get my injections in my back from Dr. Nancy Kim today. As usual it was a wonderful experience. All the personnel are always so personable, professional & accommodating. Each person, Kat, who took care of me in the prep room, Andrea & Denise, both were in the OP room with me & Dr. Kim during the precedure, & Heather, who took care of me after the procedure. The entire team run like a well-oiled machine. Thrilled about the care I receive from this Group & especially Dr. Kim.

This place is top-notch! The nurses, medical assistants, x-ray techs and especially Dr. Ann Kim, are all very kind and compassionate people. Unfortunately, I will be going for my 4th visit there, but all my visits have been welcomed with outstanding care from start to finish. There’s a full explanation of what is happening to you. Dr. Kim does an amazing job of talking to you through the entire procedure. 11/10

The staff are always very personable, professional, and kind! I see Dr. Cucuzzella and he always makes sure his patients feel comfortable before, during, and after the procedure. He takes the time to educate his patients and ensures you know exactly what is going on during every step of the procedure. I have had great results from my procedures as well, Dr. Cucuzzella has helped my back pain so much which has enhanced my overall quality of life. The nurses and radiology staff are very educated and are constantly checking on you to make sure you are doing okay. They will take the time to ease your nerves and address any concerns. The front desk staff greet you with a warm welcome and smile. They will answer any questions you may have for them and are very professional. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Cucuzzella; although, you cannot go wrong with any of the providers as they are all wonderful!
