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.

I could not be happier with the results of my recent cataract surgeries. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Weppelman for his outstanding surgical skills, communication, bedside manners, kindness, patience - you name it. He is just all around excellent! Thanks to Dr Lange from Lange Institute, whom I also recommend, for sending me his way. Very good experience throughout! Im over the moon with my new eyes.

In general I was quite pleased. But, the nurses that tried to insert an IV need additional training. The first nurse tried 3 different locations without luck. The nurse that worked with her tried twice, the first ending in a blowout. Finally they got a nurse who knew what she was doing and was successful on the first try. It’s been 11 days since my procedure and I’m still wearing bruise marks on both arms.

As before, the place kind of lived up to its gold standard in my eyes. I did not have to wait very long in the waiting room. That is very important to me. And throughout every section of the eye test and exam, I did not have to wait long. I saw Dr. Misch, new doctor to the group. I just really loved her. She was very open to the things I said. I enjoyed the exam portion with Dr. Misch. I asked for her next time, too. Once again, I was happy with the whole experience.

Terrible negligent office. My grandmother had a severe condition, and while the doctor himself was wonderful, the office has not sent over the referral paperwork for my grandmother and it has been over a month. Not only that but we have called three times and confirmed three times they were sent, only to hear from the other office they weren’t sent. Not only that, the operator on the phone told us my nearly blind grandmother who is in pain daily had to come in sign some papers, only to get there and hear that was just a lie. These people should be sued for malpractice, incompetent and the people they have on the phones sound incredibly uneducated and rude.
