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.
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.

Honestly would give more stars if I could. Dr. Sabai, Dr. Green, and the rest of the amazing staff took wonderful care of our daughter who needed surgery to repair two severed tendons. They gave her so much love and attention, making her laugh and showering her with encouragement as she faced her first time under anesthesia. The office was very communicative before, during, and after the procedure, even calling the next day just to see how she’s doing. We are so grateful for this place and everyone who works there!

Thank you to all of the wonderful staff for being kind, professional, and efficient! I also work in healthcare, and it’s getting harder and harder to find a caring team of healthcare professionals. I definitely felt like I had that from the front desk (Sheri, I think), to preop (Mallory?), anesthesiologist, OR nurse (Kyle?) and recovery nurse! I really wish I had written all the names down because they were all just fantastic, thank you so much! I’m doing great! I see other posters mentioning that they collect payment at time of service. I didn’t think that was super odd, but I didn’t think it was a little strange to ask for payment days in advance. But, they said they refund you for any overpayments. Because this is still a semi private practice facility, I respect this is their business practice. I would suggest dropping the nothing to drink after midnight policy though. I suggest allowing intake of clear liquids according to updated anesthesia guidelines. This isn’t a knock on this facility, because this has been a long-standing rule that will be hard to get rid of for all surgery centers! But anyway, just thank you so much!

I had surgery here 6 weeks ago, everyone at the surgery center was very kind and helpful (especially the nurse that helped me remove my septum ring! i forgot to catch her name) The surgery center felt very comfortable and I am glad I was sent here for my surgery rather than somewhere larger and more overwhelming.

An absolutely awesome experience all around. As a 67 year woman getting tubes put in my ears, I couldn’t have had a better experience! Had an amazing team. Denise, Dr McBride, Dr Brown, and Tracy. Kudos to all! Plus, Dr Brown, as my anesthesiologist, listed intently to a concern I had and addressed it perfectly!
