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.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery6
Breast Augmentation / ReductionBreast size is increased by placing implants, or decreased by removing breast tissue and skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. Reduction is often performed to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight.RhinoplastySurgery that reshapes the nose by altering the bone and cartilage beneath the skin. It is performed to change appearance, to correct breathing problems caused by internal structure, or both. Swelling takes months to fully resolve.FaceliftLiposuctionFat is suctioned out from beneath the skin through small tubes called cannulas, reshaping a specific area such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. It targets localized deposits and is a contouring procedure rather than a method of weight loss.Wound ReconstructionRebuilds skin and underlying tissue where a wound is too large or too damaged to close directly. Surgeons move nearby tissue, or transfer skin and muscle from elsewhere on the body, to cover the defect. Often follows trauma, infection, or cancer removal.Skin GraftingHealthy skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to cover a wound or burn elsewhere. Both the graft site and the donor site need care, and the donor site is often the more uncomfortable of the two.

I had a minor surgery at Gold Coast Surgery Center and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. Pre-op: June was a truly exceptional nurse—demure, attentive, and highly professional. He made me feel genuinely cared for and at ease throughout the pre-operative process. Post-op: Teylor and Joe were phenomenal. They were extremely personable while staying impressively efficient—exactly the kind of calm, competent energy you want during recovery. A special thank you as well to Yesenia, RN, who transported me—she was kind, reassuring, and professional. Lastly, I’m very grateful for the anesthesiology team. The physician anesthesiologist was superb—warm and personal, and also an excellent advocate for my needs. That level of communication and care makes a huge difference. Highly recommend this center for anyone seeking top-tier clinical care with a genuinely supportive team

Was here 3 weeks ago for a total disc replacement at C6/7 with Dr. Singh. Location is phenomenal and easily accessible! The staff was INCREDIBLE. June handled all the triage and prep like a pro! Dr. Heather was the incredible Anesthesiologist and Alison handled all of my recovery post op (BTW..she makes an incredible charcuterie board to curb those post surgery munchies!) . Its Big City care with a Small Town atmosphere! Truly an all around amazing experience! Highly recommend them!

The services provided were fine but billing is a nightmare. I have tried to reach the insurance office and every day the mailbox is full so I can't even leave a message .. After surgery was performed they sent me a $53,000 bill saying that my Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance is refusing to pay . Imagine how frustrating it is to try to resolve this without being able to get anyone at the Surgicenter to answer the phone.

The service and staff here is amazing. From the front desk to the nurses, everyone is kind, helpful, and pleasant to work with. The nurse who assisted me on my discharge deserves nurse of the year. My uber driver had a poor attitude and was not helpful post op. The nurse asked him for assistance and he was unresponsive so I canceled and ordered another. Did not let me get In until she felt comfortable. Care such as that is what separates this facility from others. Thank you all so much.

Had surgery September 2019 at this facility. My doctor is awesome, Dr Fernandez, no complaints with him or the anesthesia doctor. The nurse staff was great. Requesting payment upfront when you have insurance is absurd and then waiting to have a refund issued is a joke. No problem accepting payment but giving money back seems to be. To be continued...
