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.

Be very careful having procedures done here. Do your research in terms of pricing. I had what I thought was going to be a simple injection to help with my chronic back pain suggested to me by my doctor at Ortho Indy. This simple procedure, less than 1 hour probably cut over $7,619 for "operating fees" and that was in 2022! My insurance did cover most of it, but i was still left owing almost $1,400 myself. The shot also did nothing. People gets these all the time for knee and back pain. I cannot help but think this is related to this facility specifically gouging people.

I have had two back surgeries at this facility. Both times I was treated very well. There were no needs unmet during my time there. The surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses were the best of the best. I 100% recommend this facility.

This place was the worst medical experience I've ever had! They gave me medicine I told them I could not have made me so sick I had neck surgery and was throwing up when my husband asked why they gave me those meds they said that's what they give to everybody. Then they had my husband leave me and go to a pharmacy I. A town we knew nothing g about and bring it back and give it to me. He was the one who took care of me then my nurse left didn't even tell us and another nurse came in and said they were closing and we had to leave. We lived 2 hours away and I was so sick throwing up and urinating on myself and they didn't care couldn't get me out fast enough! I would never go there again!

I just had my l4 & l5 decompression done today and the care by doctor Napier was amazing and so was the staff. So far so good been walking a lot and getting better. I would recommend him to anyone that is having spine issues. Now to the road for recovery ready to fight to see my total outcome from surgery today May 28, 2025.

Absolutely the worst customer service experience i've ever dealt with. Had surgery performed in May 2023. After insurance, i owed $1600 out of pocket. I made a payment arrangement and paid the amount off in November of 2024. Fast forward to last week, i received another bill for $800. I left a message, they finally called today and said this bill is for the facility, the previous bill was for the doctor. So apparently almost 2 years after, they can just make up a reason that you owe them more money. Avoid this place at all costs. Go to Goodman Campbell instead. This place will steal you blind! **Dug a little deeper and found they have an F rating with the Better Business Bureau. Do your research folks.
