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.
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.
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.
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 had my meniscus tear treated at this surgery center, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From check-in to discharge, the staff was incredibly kind, professional, and reassuring. The nurses took great care of me, explained everything clearly, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The surgeon and medical team were thorough and confident, which really put me at ease. The facility was clean, organized, and ran very efficiently. Recovery instructions were clear, and I felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend this surgery center to anyone needing orthopedic care—they truly go above and beyond for their patients.

Surgcenter Largo is billing me for a copay that was paid at time of service. They have operators with very poor English and also fail to understand that I am being billed for a payment that was already made at time of service. I do not OWE them a single penny. Because of their poor customer service at billing, I would recommend that you have your surgery done elsewhere.

I have been here twice for carpal tunnel surgery by Dr Marcott. First time on Dec 11,2024 was on my right hand. I am a very difficult IV stick and they found out quick. I was getting frustrated and had a panic attack. A very nice lady which I didn't get her name saw me and asked if there was anything she could do for me which I replied to just sit with me which she did. The anesthesiologist came in and started my IV while the lady sat with me, gave me meds, and that was the last thing I remember. The nurses and everyone I came in contact with that day was amazing! They were all so compassionate and caring and helped me with my fear of going under Anastasia. They were such blessings. Had a 💙 bandage on my wrist when I woke up. The second time was Jan 8,2025 for left carpal tunnel surgery. The nurses were fantastic! The IV was gotten easily this time. I was much more nervous because it was a smaller IV and I was awake when I was taken into the operating room unlike last time. They reassured me that I would not feel anything and they were right..lol. I woke up in the recovery with a heart ❤️ bandage on my wrist like last time. I had a great recovery time and everyone at this place was very nice. They care about the patients and the comfort levels they are experiencing. I would recommend this place to anyone that needs surgery. The lady at the front desk is very kind and very helpful.

I had knee replacement surgery there this morning. The surgery team was professional, caring, and just all around excellent. They communicated everything, and made sure I understood all they were doing. I can't thank them enough for all they did. Also, the woman at the front desk check in was awesome. She knows her job very well. She was very interactive, and caring.

Beware. It is impossible to get an overpayment back. I paid $2312 on 9/26/22 at surgery because my current insurance did not have my maximum out of pocket up to date. Surgcenter was paid in full on 12/27/23. I have been trying since Jan 2023 to get my refund, which they continue to say, yes we owe you, but... First, I was told we are in black out and it wiil be three weeks. The latest I was told I would be in a batch on 4/17 and check mailed 4/18. Didn't happen. Now I'm being told it will be 2nd week in May. The only person I can get through to and who calls me back is the receptionist Debbie.
