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 — 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.

Very friendly staff. They do a good job with laser surgery and take good care of the patients. I think they could make the waiting area more inviting especially if they want your ride home to stick around for 3-4 hours during the surgery. If we have to be there at 6:45am, at least offer free hot tea or coffee, or have some for sale at that time. Change out the lighting to be warmer, and make waiting room more comfortable to wait in. Otherwise, expect to wait with the patient for 10-20 minutes while we make our way back to pick them up. Or call when they get out of surgery, and not after they are done in post op. Just some thoughts for improving the customer experience...

I had an excellent initial evaluation with Dr. Pappas and am very pleased with the experience. He has a pleasant bedside manner and is clearly highly knowledgeable; he took the time to sit down and thoroughly explain my results, risk factors, and background information. The front desk ladies and assistant were pleasant and helpful, and I was particularly impressed by Justin, who was kind and knowledgeable while explaining the various tests. Overall, I as a medical professional both appreciate & highly recommend Dr. Pappas and his entire team!

I have never been to this office. I came to his office because I wanted to continue with the same doctor I’ve had for maybe over 20, years, who is Dr. Grupp he is very professional, caring and attentive person. As I walk into this office, my first impression was wow this place has more personals they were very nice and it looks like it’s very busy. But it has all the needs for my family. So if I plan to switch my family to this location, I just need to understand that the wait time is gonna be longer. Overall, I like the place it’s almost 45 minutes away with trafficfrom where I live compared to the other one which was 10 minutes away from my house, but unfortunately Dr Grupp is no longer @ that location.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. X. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt heard, supported, and genuinely cared for. Retina issues can be scary, but Dr. X has a rare combination of extraordinary medical skill and true compassion that instantly puts you at ease. She takes the time to explain everything in clear, calm detail—never rushed, never dismissive, and always making sure I understand my condition and treatment options. Her expertise is obvious, but what truly sets her apart is the way she treats her patients: with patience, kindness, and a reassurance that makes you feel like you’re in the hands of someone who genuinely wants the best for you. The results speak for themselves. My vision and overall eye health have improved dramatically under her care, and I trust her completely. Her team is just as exceptional—professional, efficient, and warm. If you are looking for a retina specialist who is not only brilliant in her field but also truly cares about the people she treats, Dr. X is the one you want. I’m incredibly grateful for her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone—- and have. My sister is also a patient and loves Dr. X and the entire staff.
