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.
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.

40,000 thousand. Don't recommend at all an orthopedic surgeon Dr Jeffrey KATZELL. He tells you anything and more you want to hear to make you sign and go for the surgery. After the surgery.... Worse. More pain, less motion. The doctor wants me to tell everyone that the surgery helped but in reality made things much worse. Then he suggests another surgery. He is a Liar, Scam. Red flag, he doesn’t have medical malpractice insurance. He just wants to be paid 40,000 for the surgery and it will be from your money. Watch out, when reffered to him by other medical providers (Bacsaver, American Interventional Pain Institute). There are honest and carring doctors out there but NOT Dr Katzel. Don't trust him. Don't make mistake. Surgery July 7th, 2025. Tom B

Just had my surgery on Tuesday and hands down it was the best experience, coming from someone who’s has many surgeries I felt Completely at ease and taken care of without any stress, nervousness, or fear. The nurses were so sweet Ana and Rachel thank you guys so much for taking care of me and putting my health first . And the anesthesiologist (male) sorry can’t remember his name was truly an angel and the sweetest more reassuring man ever. I will Highly recommend this facility to anyone that needs any surgery. Thank you all again

can't say enough wonderful things about Lake Worth Surgical Center! From start to finish, the care I received was top-notch. This was my first surgery ever, and I was incredibly nervous, but the entire team made me feel safe and well cared for. Cayda, the nurse who prepped me for pre-op, was so sweet and patient. She walked me through everything step by step, which really helped calm my nerves. During the procedure, Christine was with me every step of the way. Right before I went under anesthesia, she gently stroked my hair and face, providing an incredible level of comfort during such a vulnerable moment. Her kindness and care made a world of difference. Everything ran smoothly—it truly felt like I had the A-team taking care of me. I’m so grateful for the amazing staff and would highly recommend this center to anyone. Thank you for turning a scary experience into one of reassurance and comfort!

The staff at LW Surgical Center was superb. The lady at the front desk was very nice and caring, even stepping out of her office to help me complete the registration paperwork. The nurses provided me with all the information I needed. Holly, in particular, was extremely kind, offering me drinks and snacks. Thank you for everything!

From the time I entered the Lake Worth Surgical Center on 06/19/2024, I was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. Julia had such a pleasant welcoming spirit. Sandra who escorted me to the back to collect my urine sample was so nice. She also started my I.V. line, PERFECTLY. Holly was AMAZING! She displayed GREAT bedside care. My Surgical Team from Anesthesia to Recovery was a 10/10. The facility was very clean and EVERYONE displayed professionalism and a willingness to assist without hesitation. I was a little anxious and everyone went above any beyond to make me feel comfortable. Of course, my Othropedic Doctor , Dr. Giancarlo Perez is the Absolute BEST! My experience EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS! I would highly recommend this Surgical Center. It was so worth the commute from Miami, FL to Lake Worth, FL.
