Procedures Performed

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

Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery)6
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.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the initial process went. Everyone was pleasant, knowledgeable, and I really felt comfortable. I have a follow-up appointment in about 3 weeks for the cataract surgery. My first major surgery as an adult.

Long wait times and optical NEVER answers the phone. Midwest please do not respond to this review with ""Our team is dedicated to providing superior service to our patients. We appreciate your feedback regarding your experience, thank you so much for taking the time to provide a review. We truly value our patients and their feedback"" this is NOT true. Please do better! Feel free to comment whether or not glasses for my daughter and I have been received since no one called and no one answers the phone.

Today was my first visit. I had an eye exam several test and a counseltation for cataract surgery. I didn't have to wait long. The staff was friendly, courteous and professional. The doctor helped me understand questions I had about the educational videos I watched before the appointment and help me understand what would be best for my specific needs. Before coming I was anxious about having the procedure done. I left feeling confident that all will go well and I'm looking forward to seeing better soon.
