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.
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.

Dr. Farmer did a fantastic Jiffy knee replacement. Went for follow-up after 20 weeks. Dr. Farmer and Nicole Jones checked my range of motion and swelling. All checked out okay. Signed: The bubble wrap kid.

Went in for an epidural steroid injection 💉 The nurse marked the wrong side of the back. Then tried to hide the error. Then, they didn't communicate with the person waiting for the patient. Completely disappointed.

I just arrived home from having my R Hip replacement at Riverwalk Surgery center. It was by far the BEST experience I've ever had at a medical facility. And I've had several procedures. From the time we walked in the door..The front desk Associate was friendly. The Nurses were ALL awesome, so friendly, kind,caring and comforting.They had me snuggled in all warm and gave me something to help with my mounting anxiety. The Anesthesiologist was incredibly informative and explained things step by step. The surgical team...made me feel so safe and comfortable Had me wrapped up in warm blankets. Even around my head like a Hoodie as they prepped. After the procedure ,lthe nurses let me wake up on my own...didn't rush me. helped me dtess...they were patent and considerate. I have to have my other hip,and both knees done in the near future....Riverwalk Surgery Center is where I'll go!!!! I can't praise them ENOUGH.

Definitely you need to train Ayleen to be more professional because clearly with that rude nasty vocabulary she has towards patients is not good. If you don't like your job go find another one. To have someone like that represent your company is not good. She should be embarrassed by the way she conducts herself in a professional environment. Negative example to have in the office. Very disrespectful to call someone a dump. Is very easy to be rude over the phone thinking I didn't hear her. How dare you. If this is the type of people you have in office can't imagine the deplorable stuff you guys allow to happen.I don't recommend this place to anyone who values respect. She has no shame being very deplorable and disrespectful to the people who are seeking medical help. Very negative to have someone like that in office.
