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.
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 would give them 5 stars if their billing department was better. I was told that my insurance will cover the eye surgery I had but after the surgery I was informed that I would have to pay out of pocket. I suggest that you double check with your insurance before you get anything done. Other than that my surgery went smoothly and the people who worked there were kind. I received 3 bills: one for Pasadena, one for my eye dr and one for the anesthesiologist. Medical bills are a nightmare.

Wonderful! Each staff member was professional, friendly and very competent. They went above and beyond to make me feel at ease for my procedure. Facility was reasonable in size but adequate for services received. Anesthesiologist was through and made sure I was comfortable, kudos to all the staff!! Karen Kovac

I recently took my Father here for cataract surgery/lens implant. Extremely efficient facility. We arrived at 7:30 AM, and the surgery was finished and my Father was discharged by 10:30AM. My Father can finally see again. Really good facility.

I honestly didn’t want to give this facility one star. I wanted no stars but I was unable to do this. I have never experienced a Surgery Center that gave such lack of care. Upon my arrival the the women in the front office where unwelcoming and upset with me because I did not bring my ID with me. I was told that my driver should go back and get it. I was self pay and my insurance wasn’t being billed anyway. Once I was taken in the “pre-op” area I lied there for several hours pretty much nonexistent behind a curtain after answering a few basic questions. I listened to them on their phone calls giving instructions to the patients that will come in for a procedure the next day. They told each patient that they will “take good care of them”. This is far from true in my experience. I have never had such lack of care after a procedure. I was not recovered at all and was pushed out of the facility. Still groggy and not assessed by nursing. I had dressings on which we’re not even looked at lots of fluid on the bed, chair, clothing. This was never assessed and not mentioned to my surgeon. I was taken to my driver’s car and pads were put on her passenger seat. The nurse never asked me how I was after the procedure or how my pain was let alone address the dressing etc. dripping in fluids. I got some ice chips and asked for a Ginger Ale as I was being pushed out the door. I ended up going to the ER that evening and feel that wouldn’t have happened if I received the proper care after my procedure.
