Procedures Performed

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

Tonsillectomy / AdenoidectomyThe tonsils and sometimes the adenoids are removed for repeated infections or sleep-disordered breathing. Recovery is notably harder for adults than children, with significant throat pain for a week or more and a real emphasis on staying hydrated.Ear Tube PlacementTiny tubes are placed through the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear, most often for children with recurrent ear infections. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and the tubes usually fall out on their own within a year.Sinus Surgery (FESS)A camera and instruments passed through the nostrils open blocked sinus drainage pathways, with no external incisions. Considered for chronic sinusitis that has not improved with medication. Congestion often worsens briefly before it improves.SeptoplastyThe wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils is straightened to improve airflow through a blocked side. It addresses breathing rather than external appearance, though it is sometimes combined with cosmetic reshaping.Turbinate ReductionSwollen tissue inside the nose is shrunk to improve airflow, frequently at the same time as septoplasty. Often the difference between a nose that is structurally straight and one that actually feels open.LaryngoscopyA scope examines the voice box and vocal cords, used for persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or throat pain that has not resolved. Small lesions can sometimes be biopsied or removed during the same procedure.
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.

I was very nervous for my 4 year old to have his procedure here due to the reviews but everyone was very nice and the center is pretty nice as well. They do bring your children out of post op still asleep but they explain why they do that. The wait in the lobby was about 40 minutes after our arrival time but I was prepared for that. The wait once in pre op was about another 30-40 but they are getting the child ready, so time passes very fast. Dr Brown the anesthesiologist was nice and explained everything she was going to do. The nurses were great. Overall I would recommend and hope they keep this level of excellence up for other patients!

I had a wonderful experience. First surgery ever and the ladies knew exactly what to say to calm my nerves. Kate called to check on me a few days after surgery and I greatly appreciate it! I know some patients didn't like being rushed out but I'm the complete opposite. I was happy to go home and get in my own bed with my own snacks. Excellent experience and very thankful for the nurses and doctors.

Let me start off by saying I am the most easiest patient you could have. This facility has a nice staff and the building seems clean. They however run it like an assembly line. Something I didn’t like was after my surgery they woke me up, dressed me (I don’t even remember any of that) and wheeled me to the car. I would have like to have stayed in a recovery room to get fully awake because I was completely out of it and unaware of everything. I basically went under and woke up in the car. Got car sick of course. Felt so bad. It was just rushy rushy and surgery is a scary thing but that’s how they do things I guess. Another thing, the lobby smells good but the fragrance was too strong for my asthma. I could definitely see it bothering people with asthma and allergies. I won’t be going back if I don’t have to. It was alittle scary how things are done there. Felt alone because your spouse is not allowed back with you or anyone else of that nature. Only one person is allowed to wait in the lobby. The whole thing was strange. My doctor was awesome not his fault how the building is ran. He just works out of it like all of the other doctors. The whole experience was bizarre. I’ve had procedures and surgery done before and never had an experience like that in my life. Even when I was waiting in the bed to be called back they were bringing empty beds back and I thought to my self where is the patient that just went in? Waking up in the car. They were in a hurry to get their bed empty and filled for the next patient.

The staff was great and the facility looks very clean. Dr Berry did an excellent job on my child teeth. It had only lasted 20-25 mins which was great. Even though our appointment was 6 am. We waited an hour before my baby was able to head back there. However the rules here are a little too strict. I initially thought that one parent could be in the back while the other in the lobby. Nope! One parent waits in the lobby while other has be in the car.
