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.
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.
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.

Only giving 2 stars and all of those stars belong to the nursing staff and the ER charge nurse, Ashley (who truly deserve closer to 5 stars). I will say this, I got in relatively quick but I must have arrived during a shift change because once I was brought back to a room, I was left alone for quite some time. I had to have my partner go and ask for someone to see me. The doctor I saw was the most dismissive medical professional I had ever met. I was bleeding profusely and most likely hemorrhaging, but was essentially told to go home because my levels “weren’t low enough”. No physical exam was given, nothing to stop the bleeding, etc, despite me passing golf-ball sized clots. Thank goodness for the nursing staff and the charge nurse that evening understood my concerns and sat with me and in depth to discuss them further. She eventually said they would run my labs again after seeing my concern. I’m still frustrated I went home with no physical exam or solutions to stopping the bleeding. I had to go to an urgent care the next day where they promptly completed an ultrasound and prescribed me medication for slowing heavy bleeding.

I went in - panicked and fighting the cold as well as a terrible HVAC system in the hotel I am currently staying in - not only was the ER quick, kind and respectful / they asked about advanced directives - this is the first time I had been asked of this within multiple ERs in Chicago, read through my file, explained more things within my file that my previous care provider did, and made me feel at ease enough to sleep. To edit - lymphatic enlargement and non benign things that previous care providers / despite having all bloodwork and my time / have done anything to correct. Thank you, St, Joseph’s 🌻

Best hospital! I went in with pain in my lower right abdomen, and it turned out I needed my appendix removed. I got there around 1:30 and was already home by 9. Everyone was so kind, and the doctor who did my surgery was amazing!

There was no wait in the ER when I went in for my appendix, I was able to get in right away. Everyone was pleasant to speak to and very nice overall. Surgery went well, and I was released the next day. 10/10 would recommend. The food wasn’t bad either. 🙂
