Procedures Performed

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

Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery)6
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.
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.

You can tell they have no clue how to operate a business outside of the actual surgeon doing his job. Not allowed to leave if you are the driver but yet they ask for your phone number. If you do leave you will be blacklisted. Okay others would be happy to take my money, nobody really cares.

The billing dept is terrible, they sent me a bill months after both eye surgeries and paying what I was told to pay the day I had each surgery. Then turned me over to collection when I didn't pay fast enough. When I tried to pay it off I was told two different balance. It has been a nightmare trying to pay them off. No one seems to know my balance. I just paid off collection, I'm sure I'll hear from them again.😡

Update 01-08-24. Glad to see you that the bathroom lights got replaced and the toilet seat. Glad to see the hallway lights have been replaced. You have so many patients coming in for cataract surgery they can't see as it is and you're going to make them walk down a dark hallway to get to the bathroom to a dark bathroom. I shouldn't have to email you to bring this to your attention regarding safety issues this is something you guys should be checking on a weekly basis or at least a monthly basis. You do need to put hooks on the back of the bathroom doors because people have jackets and purses and bags they need to hang up while they're going to the bathroom instead of putting them on the dirty floor. I'm glad you guys made some effort. But you guys still need to work on your communication. Don't let patients think you forgot about them. ---------- Not impressed are they running behind which I understand but they do need to communicate. Patients are nervous enough without added stress of waiting longer without communication. Communication is important for understanding. Otherwise patient feel forgotten about. Common courtesy would be nice. The bathrooms in this facility are horrible they don't even replace lights when they're broken. The toilet seat looks roughed up pretty bad I guess they can't afford $20 for a new one. No hook on the back of the door to hang up a jacket purse or a bag or hat. Bathrooms are disgusting I can't believe the employees are okay with using it. You know you brag about your business being so awesome maybe you need to take another look from a different standpoint. You're definitely are behind on the times with all this paperwork instead of electronic paperwork. Our time is valuable also just like yours so a common courtesy of communication would be very nice instead of us making us feel like you forgotten about us. Put yourself in our shoes how would you like your family members treat it like that? You definitely need to work on the bathrooms, unsanitary and you guys are scared of covid but you don't mind having disgustingly nasty gross bathrooms. Oh and I forgot to mention one of the employees parked their car in the front where the patients come out they parked it there all day did not move it why not in a parking spot? Why did they have special privileges? Plus when patients are picked their car has to be out further because of the employee car sitting there all day. Major inconvenience. Also, the hallway that leads to the bathroom is dark. Lights need to be replaced. Ladies restroom also needs a light replaced. That is a safety hazard. Safety should be your 1st priority not just for the employees but patients too. The last thing you need is for someone to trip because the hallway is too dark to see anything. A lawsuit waiting to happen. DO BETTER!

I had the cataract in my right eye removed today at the center and it was a pleasant and professional experience. There are great people working there providing a great service. I will be returning next month for my left eye procedure and will give an update once more and add more photos.

I've been fortunate enough to have 2 procedures here (will be having my third tomorrow). Wonderful experience from over-the-phone pre-op to check in to the surgery nurse pre-op, nurse anesthetist, in the OR, and post-op. Very caring people that clearly all get a long well and put your care first. My kids have had procedures at a different facility and it was a very different experience. Rushed, not great information, a TON of complicated check in process. But not here. It is always a great experience.
