Procedures Performed

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

Orthopaedic Surgery6
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.
Podiatry (Foot & Ankle Surgery)6
Bunion Correction (Bunionectomy)The bony prominence at the base of the big toe is removed and the bone realigned, often with screws or plates. Recovery involves weeks in a protective shoe or boot, and swelling can persist for several months.Hammertoe CorrectionA toe permanently bent at the middle joint is straightened, sometimes with a temporary pin holding the correction. Considered when the toe rubs painfully in shoes or has developed calluses and sores.Plantar Fascia ReleaseThe tight band of tissue along the bottom of the foot is partially released to relieve stubborn heel pain. Reserved for cases that have not improved after months of stretching, orthotics, and other conservative treatment.Ankle ArthroscopyA small camera and instruments treat problems inside the ankle joint — impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage — through incisions a few millimeters wide, avoiding a larger open exposure.Ingrown Toenail RemovalThe edge of a nail growing into the surrounding skin is removed under local anesthesia. When the problem keeps recurring, the nail-forming tissue at that edge is also treated so it does not grow back.Foot Fracture RepairBroken bones in the foot are realigned and stabilized with hardware so they heal in position. Because the foot bears your full weight with every step, alignment matters more here than the small bone size suggests.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Clark gave my husband a pain medication that is a listed ALLERGY in his chart. His response was “that’s all we had for pain meds so hopefully he will be fine” Luckily his allergy isn’t life threatening to this medication otherwise things could’ve been a lot worse. They also gave him someone else’s paperwork to review and then made him re-do his paperwork once they realized it was the wrong information. DO NOT TRUST THEM!!

I recently had my very first surgery on my left big toe, and I have to admit I was unreasonably afraid going into surgery! I had the most amazing care team and a wonderful experience. Andrea is a complete angel - she was very caring, compassionate, kind and helped to put me at ease. Clark is absolutely amazing at his profession - his assessment of patient needs is second to none, and his understanding and application of anesthesia is absolutely fabulous. He was also so wonderful with putting me at ease, as he completely understood my apprehension as I was brought into the surgery room. I was so elated when I awoke in my recovery bay with my foot beautifully wrapped. Dr. Adam Gerber with Idaho Foot & Ankle Associates performed the surgery, and he is absolutely exceptional at his work. My toe is healing so beautifully, and all of the chronic pain is completely gone. Dr. Adam Gerber with Idaho Foot & Ankle Associates & Andrea/Clark with Emerald Surgical Center were my absolute surgical dream team! I would want each of them by my side during any surgery. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking such great care of me!

Very difficult experience for our family. We were treated like we were an annoyance to the staff and they tried to not allow me in the pre-op area with our minor son prior to the surgery when he was meeting with the doctor. We were very disappointed and we would not recommend this facility.

I just recently had surgery here and it was the best experience I’ve ever had. The staff was so friendly and my block was AMAZING. Best before and after care. I actually felt like more than a number like I do at the hospitals. So thank you for taking such good care of me.

Excellent facility and staff. Went the extra mile to send samples to the University of Washington for me. My pain block lasted 3 days! Everyone on staff was covered by my insurance and they checked for me before hand. I could not be happier going through something kind of scary. Glad I got to do it with these amazing people!
