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 ā€” 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.

Procedure list is based on CMS-reported specialty designations. Contact the facility to confirm specific procedures offered.

DR Giovanni Taibbi preformed both my cateract & implant surgery. Dr Taibbi is a very personable, caring excellent surgeon and person. The entire staff are excellent, kind, caring and top notch at their jobs.

I had cataract surgery. I was given a quote & paid in full. A month and a half later I got a 'surprise' bill of almost double. The reason they said is because the amount I paid in full was only an estimate. Just wow!

Staff are all very nice and helpful, however the billing department have no clue what they are doing. I do not want to speak to someone in a foreign country regarding my billing who does not understand how to have a conversation but only repeats from a script.

This was my first eye exam and I was highly impressed with Dr. Taibbi and his staff. They made me feel so comfortable and explained everything in detail so I could understand. My surgery went great and the staff at St. Lucys was also fantastic. Iā€™m so thankful that I was referred to this practice.
