Procedures Performed

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

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.

Don’t owe even 10$ you’ll be interrogated by the receptionist in front of everyone in the room. I was denied check in to see my Dr, I owed $62 and was denied seeing my Dr. THEN, changed me $25 for not showing up to my appt. They tell you to call financial dept. I was also denied to give my Dr a message over the phone, ( important) because I still owed 34$ The way Fl Ortho is doing business is pretty crappy. Considering finding a new Drs Office.

This was the first time visiting citrus parks office, I always go to Palm Harbor. Really large building very cleaned and orderly. Dr. Grayson had to take nine large vials of blood out of Anthony Condento‘s leg that was very swollen. Anthony has an infection before the second surgery, Dr. Grayson has so much patience and caring for my son. He’s had two knee replacements because of infection that several many surgeries to clean up the Infections. He is a great surgeon with a great bedside manner,. So happy that he is my son‘s surgeon that goes above and beyond and treating him God bless him.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Who cares right it's my well being, no loss for them ,wow!!!!!!!!! 100 % unprofessional and ethical wrong, health care is a scam and has un worthy people working for your company.

Doctors and medical staff were fine. I am 9 weeks out from a knee scope with Dr Palumbo. So far so good. I am doing the therapy myself due to the cost of each visit for PT at $75. Trying to do the best I can. Hoping that in time I can fully recover and go for a jog. Right now, impact on the knee still hurts a great deal. Here is the challenge I had/have with them: The billing department. Rosa called me 5 days prior to the surgery and told me after running the surgery through my insurance, the cost would be $1500+. I told here this wasn't right toward the consumer and that I should've gotten a heads up at least a few weeks in order to plan. I told her that I had left messages for them and sent emails trying to gain an estimate however I received no response. She gave me some half ass solution by placing the cost on a payment plan and that she explained the situation to her supervisor and that she agreed with my position. She said that they don't call a month or more out because of deductibles changing etc. I completely understand this but to call a consumer 4-5 days out and ask for $1500+ isn't right. But that's 2025 for ya! Palumbo's office also called 5 days out and asked for their $800+ dollars but the difference is, I knew that was coming because they provided me an estimate 4 weeks prior. I paid this however Florida Blue told me that my portion should have only been a $75 co-pay for a specialist. Anesthesiologist bill just arrived and its in line with expectations. I paid it immediately. $150 which is what was described to me by Florida Blue 3-4 weeks prior to the surgery. Reason for expending a ton of unnecessary energy on this review: I received another bill from FOI surgery center for $1200+. This is just horrible. Another bill after you collected $1500+ and told me that was the amount? Rosa didn't help at all on a subsequent phone call. She is likely under pressure to keep her job and just collect. Now I get a call from someone in Philippines every few weeks asking me to pay. They're not getting another nickel out of me. The healthcare system is so bad in the US. Poor get everything for free, rich can pay and the middle class(me and my family) get the shaft. And FOI-do better with your billing department. The supervisor there that Rosa claims she spoke with must be worthless and cold hearted.

No long wait today. Everything was smooth, even though I was sent for xrays and back and then afterward went to PT to schedule. Each part of the appointment was smooth and hassle free. The doctor gave me ample time to ask questions and was friendly and explained things well.
