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.

I’ve had care at the facility twice in the past two years. Both times I’ve had surgery I’ve had nothing short of a great experience. The nursing staff takes time to explain everything and answers any questions you have. This isn’t the type of place I would typically review, however when I saw the low reviews I felt compelled.

The staff really dropped the ball on me. I was not informed until the day before my scheduled surgery that I needed labs and preop release. The only time I was successfully contacted was about payments! Needless to say the surgery was canceled!!!!! After preparing myself and my caregivers physically and mentally for this surgery, all I got was a bunch of “I’m sorrys”

My husband is a patient of Dr Pines. He is a great doctor but his nurse Melanie is one of the worst healthcare professionals we’ve ever come across. I Avoid her at all costs. My husband is a survivor of a traumatic brain injury and when he went in for his procedure (for which I wasn’t allowed to be with him) they humiliated him. He isn’t able to coordinate his care so I do his medicines and appointments. He said Melanie made him feel like an old man in a nursing home. She insulted him. She googled things in front of him trying to make him feel stupid. She told him he should coordinate his own care and was loud while she did it so everyone could hear. She also went around asking others for support of her opinion that the antibiotic I listed my husband was allergic to didn't exist. I hope no one ever has to put up with what she put my husband through. She’s a bully and should be ashamed!!!!!! If making someone who has faced challenges feel humiliated is her way of making herself feel big, that’s just plain out sorry!!!!
