Procedures Performed

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

Cataract SurgeryThe clouded natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with a clear artificial one. It is one of the most common outpatient procedures performed in the country, usually takes under 30 minutes per eye, and is done under light sedation with numbing drops rather than general anesthesia.LASIK / Refractive SurgeryA laser reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, reducing dependence on glasses or contacts. The procedure itself takes minutes per eye. Vision is often noticeably better within a day, though it can take several weeks to fully stabilize.Glaucoma SurgeryCreates a new drainage path for fluid inside the eye to lower internal pressure. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve silently, so the goal is preventing further vision loss rather than restoring vision already lost. Several minimally invasive options are now performed in outpatient settings.Retinal SurgeryRepairs the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, most often for a detached or torn retina, or for bleeding related to diabetes. Timing matters — a detaching retina is treated urgently because delay increases the risk of permanent vision loss.Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)Removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. When drooping upper lids block part of the visual field, the procedure is functional rather than cosmetic and is often covered by insurance if visual field testing documents the obstruction.Corneal TransplantReplaces damaged or clouded corneal tissue with donor tissue. Modern techniques often replace only the affected layer rather than the full thickness, which shortens recovery. Vision improves gradually over months, and stitches may stay in place for a year or longer.

My husband has been in constant pain with his lower back for well over 10 years. Over the past year, we had seen two neurosurgeons in the valley to address the pain radiating down his legs and in his groin. They both said ‘no’ to surgery but when I asked if she should be on opioids the rest of his life, they said ‘no’ to that as well---where does that leave someone that hurts? On a whim, I found The Pain Center and Dr. Thompson online. Yes, some of the reviews are bad but we took a chance and I’m glad we did. Dr. Thompson had suggested an interspinous spacer (Minuteman) to give his nerves some room (degenerative disc disease). Of course, we researched it a lot and reached back out to the local neurosurgeon we saw (that performs it as well) to ask his opinion. We received a voicemail back stating that it would take a simple phone call to determine if the Minuteman would help him. That perplexed me because they should’ve already known that when we were there for a consult. Anyway, after a few months of tests/imaging, my husband received the procedure. The first week was about the same, pain-wise. Second week, he’s already feeling MUCH better. His pain level went from a 7 to a 3 and the 3 isn’t necessarily pain, but uncomfortable. The gals in the Caldwell and Boise Surgical Center are great and Dr. Thompson is a joy to work with. I’m happy she gave my husband a chance at some years of being pain-free.

I've had several procedures regarding my spinal cord stimulator here with Dr Thompson and her staff. They are incredibly nice and professional. I am always well looked after and have fun talking with everyone. Dr Thompson has done most of my spinal cord stimulator surgeries and I can't recommend her enough!

Everyone here is wonderful! Dr. Thompson is quick and efficient. I was a little scared going in as it was my first time getting an injection, but they had me in and out, no problems at all!
