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.
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.

Loved my experience here having a hip arthroscopy with Dr. Nelson. The whole process was detailed, streamlined, thorough, and modern. All the staff were kind, and took their time explaining the ins and outs for every step of the way. They also prescribed all my meds two days before surgery, which I found extremely helpful - my surgery was on a Friday and I didn’t want to deal with any prescriptions possibly not making it to the pharmacy. Great job, OOSC and DMOS!

I recently had shoulder surgery at DMOS outpatient center. I haven’t had much experience with surgeries but I have to say this was the most organized professional experience I have ever had. Everything went like clockwork. As soon as one person was done another one was right there. I sincerely hope I never have to have another surgery but this is the only place I would ever go. Highly recommend this place !!

I was extremely nervous having a hip replacement outpatient... the staff was amazing.... The only problem I experienced was David in billing wouldn't return calls when I did talk to him he was very harsh... I would highly recommend the surgery staff and Dr Sullivan... They were fantastic. David on the other hand was not helpful and at times almost rude. And that's if you can get him on the phone.

I just had my total knee replaced on May 18th by Dr. Ian Lee. I must say I was a little worried about getting it done at an outpatient center, but I’m so glad I did! From the moment I stepped in to the building everything and everyone was exceptional. Professional and kind, a caring staff. My nurses, anesthesiologist and my amazing Dr. Ian Lee. put my mind at ease and took great care of me! I highly recommend this facility for your orthopedic needs.
