Procedures Performed

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

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.
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.
ColonoscopyA flexible camera examines the full length of the colon to screen for cancer and remove polyps before they become cancerous. Done under sedation, it typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The bowel prep the day before is the part most patients find hardest.Upper Endoscopy (EGD)A thin camera passed through the mouth examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Used to investigate persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or abdominal pain. Usually takes 15 to 30 minutes under sedation.Flexible SigmoidoscopyExamines the lower portion of the colon only, rather than its full length. Preparation is lighter than a full colonoscopy and sedation is sometimes unnecessary, but it cannot detect problems higher in the colon.Capsule EndoscopyYou swallow a vitamin-sized camera that photographs the small intestine as it passes through — a region that standard scopes cannot easily reach. There is no sedation and no recovery. The capsule passes naturally, and images are reviewed after the fact.ERCPCombines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat blockages in the bile and pancreatic ducts, most often gallstones stuck in a duct. Unlike a routine endoscopy, it carries a meaningful risk of pancreatitis afterward, so it is used when treatment is likely rather than for screening alone.Hemorrhoid TreatmentShrinks or removes swollen veins in the rectum and anus using rubber band ligation, injection, or surgical removal depending on severity. Banding is quick and typically requires no anesthesia; surgical removal is more effective for advanced cases but recovery is noticeably more uncomfortable.

The staff— from the front desk, to the MAs and nurses— are wonderful! I appreciated the follow-up call I received after my procedure, as well. Great patient care all around

My son broke his arm and we saw Dr. Cunningham for a cast he was very nice and explained everything to us, was also very kind to my 5 year old who had lots of questions about what was going on. Great pricing as well we didn't feel taken advantage of with it being a specialist office and having no insurance. Would definitely recommend!

This place doesn’t even deserve 1 star. I only put it because it’s the only way I was able to write a review. My other half’s mom was supposed to be seen for an urgent follow up, URGENT, but when they call her in to come in at 11 in the morning, 30 minutes prior to her appointment they say her new referred doctor left and won’t be back for the day. So the next day it’s scheduled at 11 again but this time she doesn’t get called till 1:04 pm. The nurse said to wait 2 minutes and the doctor will be in. At 1:40 pm The doctor never showed up. We wasted almost 2 hours for nothing. And we call back to be referred somewhere else because their service sucks, especially their receptionist, Angie. They rescheduled us for the 25th even though it’s an Urgent case per her primary doctor. Do not waste your time with them.

If they are referring patients for off island treatment (especially the elderly) PLEASE GIVE THEM EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO PRESENT TO THEIR INSURANCE. Sometimes my parents drive on their own but they are in their mid 70s. I was the one driving my mother around today as I was off. But if my mother, who is already sick has to drive back and forth on her own because her documents from Hafa Adai Specialist Group were missing crucial information to get a referral from Take Care. This is unacceptable!!! I wouldn’t want this to happen to any one else especially the elderly! To top it all off THEY NEVER ANSWER THEIR PHONE! At first I thought their phone was broken...but as we waited in the lobby for the information we should’ve had in the first place, I heard their phone ring. And no one was about to jump and pick it up.
