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.

I am unsure if Melissa is having a bad day or if this is her normal personality, but she is quite rude. She is direct, which is fine, but she adds condescension and blatant irritability with it, and it gives a very bad and unwelcoming vibe. Normally, I would brush it off, but after the third time of Melissa being snarky with my Mom, I thought I’d leave a comment about it. Maybe some corrective discipline in regard to her complacency in the work place would help? Otherwise, the place is well kept and everyone is friendly enough. 5 stars in that realm. Thanks.

Wow. Simply wow! I"m so thankful I found my doctor - Gavan Duffy @ SOS- and this facility after my move to Florida. I couldnt be happier with the outcome of my hip surgery. My surgical team was friendly, funny, accommodating and so knowledgeable. My doctor and team were A* from start to finish. After the operation any issues (minor)that came up, they promptly assisted me with answers. Cleanliness of the facility was top notch and the instructions before surgery to check for bacteria plus physical cleaning for 2 days beforehand plus the day of surgery for myself relieved any concerns.

Surgery was in and out 10/10. Post-op instructions 2/10 no one stays to give them to you. The paperwork is pre-checked so as a professional 😉 that knows better i will tell you that this paperwork is standardized. Please take the time to customize it towards the different types of surgeries or stay and wait for questions that the patient themselves may have. My pain level was way to high to leave but I could tell that the person caring for me had others to tend to. I'm giving 4 stars because the things that can be corrected are very minor. You guys are GREAT at what you do!💞💞

I just had my surgery on Friday and was promised a phone call the next day. It is now Tuesday. And I have yet to receive any phone call from anyone at first Coast surgery center. The anesthesiologist was wonderful and very funny. She put me out really fast. For her I'd give five stars. I'm just very disappointed. I live alone and if it weren't for my sister staying with me a couple of days I would have had nobody. Since Sunday I have I had nobody and not even the in home nursing care has responded. This isn't my first time having surgery. I've had many others that have been very diligent. But this is my first time with first Coast surgery.

This was my first time at FCSC and I was completely impressed with the professionalism and care of accuracy of the staff. Each specialist verified my name, DOB, and the reason for my visit. The bedside manner of everyone was amazing! You will definitely be in capable hands at this facility.
