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.

Dr Nelsen and his staff top notch!!! From the receptionist to the time i got in the car to leave. Best bedside manner i have been given in years. At every step of the process. Best of all i can see again even just a couple hours after surgery. 5 stars all the way

Excellent experience with LASIK! Dr Nelson and his team were helpful from start to finish and made me feel super comfortable. They explained the procedure fully and provided thorough post op instructions. Highly recommend for anyone wanting LASIK but maybe nervous on what to expect.

I had surgery on one of my eyes to remove cataracts yesterday and I am very happy with the results. I found Dr Nelson and the staff to be very kind and compassionate people. I was impressed by how they scheduled multiple patients in a group allowing them to serve blocks of patients within the same time interval. I found this to be a very enjoyable experience where we, the patients, bonded and reassured each other throughout the process. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that the same group were scheduled together for the next surgery on our opposite eye. Considering my surgery was through a charity organization associated with the clinic proves that these are good intentioned, hard working individuals who are devoted to helping people see again not just to increasing thier bottom line. I can also say I was treated with the utmost respect at all times , that I might as well have been thier highest paying and most prestigious customer. To sum it up, I am so grateful and will forever be indebted to all the folks at this clinic who contributed directly or indirectly to restoring my eye sight I highly recommend.
