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.
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.
Interventional Pain Management6
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.

Just got done with ankle surgery and was very pleased with my care. The nurse Emily had a great bed side manner and kept me at ease as well as the other nurse whose name I didn’t not get but did my IV. Surgery is never fun and where to go really makes a difference, this place took great care of me!!!

I have had the worst experience with this place that you couldn't imagine I have a loved one in their parking lot trying to ease a child's stomach pain and trying to hurry up considering it is close to closing time for the facility and then the security of the building comes out and clearly sees us in our vehicle and still went and closed the gate which is the only way out of the parking lot clearly being able to see vehicle is on and people are inside and didn't even mention anything at all that he was going to close the gate and just went and closed it locking my self and my family in the parking lot rendering is incapable of being able to leave leaving us stuck with three babies and no way to get out and no way to get a hold of someone who is able to open the gate to allow us to get out so just be careful with this place they will keep you locked up like a prisoner..

I like my doctor very much and wish he operated elsewhere. They called me a couple days before surgery and told me I needed to pay almost $2500 on the morning of surgery since I hadn't met my insurance deductible yet. Ok. I'd need to eventually, so I paid every penny they asked for on the day of surgery. The waiting room is kind of dingy. They took me to a locker room to change for surgery (looked like the same room the staff used) and handed me two used Jewel bags to place my belongings in (not particularly professional). The OR staff and anesthesia provider were nice. Surgery went well. Then I started getting bills. It turns out my surgeon turned in the claim to my insurance before the surgery center, so he is owed the money from my deductible. The surgery center took my money, got paid by my insurance too (i.e. got twice the money they were owed), then sent me an additional bill for $250 (the only money they were supposed to get from me in the first place)! I called the surgery center when I got the bill, explained that they'd been paid by my insurance, and requested a refund of my overpayment. They claimed they hadn't been paid by my insurance (I had paperwork that I faxed to them that stated otherwise). They said they'd look into it then never called me back. A month later, I called again and asked to speak with the manager. They wouldn't let me and instead referred me back to the woman who'd ignored my issue the month prior. She couldn't help me directly, she had to talk to her manager (duh, that's why I wanted to talk to the manager myself). A day later, she called me back to say they wouldn't reimburse my credit card the amount I paid because it had been longer than 30 days and it would screw up their accounting so my only option was a check, which I explained would screw up my accounting. They didn't care and had a take it or leave it approach. If you love your doctor and have to go here, okay, but go elsewhere if you have the choice. There are nicer places with much better service.
