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.

Absolutely terrible. Billing department sucks and never calls back. Front desk gal is rude as hell and should definitely not work in health care what so ever. Do not recommend to anyone.

My 3 year old son had to have some dental work here done under general anesthesia and I was so nervous leading up to it. I did call and they would answer questions so that made me feel better, but we had the best experience! the whole staff was amazing!! The front desk, nurses, anesthesiologist, and Dr Hugues were were all so kind and really made me feel at ease!!

Northstar Anesthesia bills separately and will repeatedly send you texts. They will not send a paper bill until they can add a late fee. You won't know where to pay online until they start texting. I'm old, but I don't bank on my phone. One text asked to connect to my Health Equity savings account, so they know I have that. But not my address? I'm getting this text for my right eye surgery after I went through this with my left. I complained to Skyline about this billing practice from their affiliate. Skyline billing was as expected, timely and fine. It's Northstar with this texting. Below is the text I'm getting at 6 am on Sunday and they definitely have my address from last time. This isn't hippaa - billing information can be freely shared between Skyline and Northstar. Text: NorthStar Anesthesia is missing either your email or home address. Please update this information so that we can keep you updated on your bill activity.

We took our five year-old daughter who has autism and about two weeks ago, and whereas the nurses and doctors were accommodating and sweet to my daughter and husband, the receptionist was absolutely cold and rude. My husband parked in the wrong place which we understand we had to move, but the way she asked my husband to move was also absolutely cold and rude… They really need to keep an eye on her. I don’t even know what her name was.. Medium brown hair and glasses and looked to be in her late 20s… i’ve been a front desk clerk for a hotel and I know how important it is to be courteous and kind to the people you are helping because you are the face of the company so you might need to have a little talk with your receptionists and let them know what customer service is.. She proceeded to help an older couple right after me and my husband and treated them with kindness and respect so I don’t know if it was a race thing, but my husband is Hispanic!
