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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 left the ED after a car accident and was told there were no fractures and to follow up with my PCP. I called GB&J and asked them to please give me an appt with Ashlea. She didn't have availability, but Dianna did. Dianna could see a fracture in the ED xray, but had them do more there to get a better view. She said I had multiple fractures that she could see, and I needed surgery soon. They were able to get me scheduled 8 days later. The recovery has been very hard but they take your pain seriously. I have needed to call the on call provider several times, and have spoken with Dr Sutton and Stephanie who were both very kind. I've gone back in to get splint adjustments and seen Ashlea and Doug, both of whom are kind and great at explaining what's going on and what they're doing about it. Doug came and found me at my most recent follow up with Dianna and wanted to know how I was doing. The providers here care so much, and I'm so grateful for all of them.

I have been a patient at Georgia Bone and Joint for about 6 years. Dr. David Heinch surgically corrected a bunion and a hammer toe for me. I received great care from him and his P.A. Diana, as well as physical therapist Kevin. Recently, after a fall, I decided to go to the After Hours Clinic on a Monday evening. I arrived at about 4:45, knowing that the clinic would open at 5:00. I was called back for x-rays right after 5, and brought directly to an exam room. P.A. Jared came in promptly and explained his findings on the x-rays and ordered a C.T. scan a s.a.p. By the time I got home, someone had already called to set an appointment for the next morning. C.T. scan was done in a timely manner, and my appointment with the surgeon scheduled for 2 days later. Great, prompt attention at the After Hours Clinic. All of the providers I have seen at Georgia Bone and Joint are top notch. Highly recommend.

5 years ago I fractured my ankle and I was taken to a Piedmont Hospital emergency room where I was taken to surgery. At the time I was very upset because I was not a fan of Piedmont anything. At the time I had no idea who Doctor David Heinsch was nor how blessed i was by having this amazing surgeon. Dr. Heinsch and all his staff have been very caring & very professional from day 1 and absolutely recommend him & Georgia Bone & Joint to anyone.
