Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

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 β€” 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 β€” 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.
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.
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 β€” impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage β€” 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.

My son who is a 23 yr old college student just go to virginia a few days ago for an internship from Long Island NY and saw Dr Scott for a crushed finger. He needed surgery to reattach the tendon. From Dr Scott and Kenia at the Drs office to Robin at the front desk of the surgery center and Nurse Siobhan, everyone was absolutely amazing. I was worried about my son by himself in Virginia without me, and not knowing what to expect. They put my mind at ease and kept in touch every step of the way. I cannot say enough about Dr Scott and staff and the staff at the surgery center!!! As a mom, I appreciate all they did for my son and to put my mind at ease.

I had surgery at this facility yesterday . let me just start by saying what a wonderful experience from Ingrid at the front desk who just was so calm and pleasant to interact with to my nurse Ashley who made sure I was comfortable from the start to finish. I went in a little anxious , I told Ashley all my concerns from previous anesthesia experiences, when I woke up Ashley had me tucked warm and comfortable like a baby. She payed attention , she listens and she got active for me. The whole experience was a 10/10 . The whole team was so pleasant and made this experience even better for me. I will always recommend my friends and colleagues and family to this facility . Thank you all for such a pleasant time. I hope I won’t have to see you guys again but if I ever need surgery , I KNOW WHERE IM GOING FOR MY 5 star treatment.

I've had 2 total hip replacements done at the SurgCenter and cannot say enough good things about the Center and its staff. Communication was excellent throughout, with the nursing staff reaching out to me numerous times prior to surgery to make sure I had all the needed information. The staff is kind and caring, some of the most pleasant medical professionals I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. It was a seamless process from start to finish. Check-in was quick and well organized, my procedures were performed exactly on schedule and in-home physical therapy had already been arranged for me prior to the surgery. I was there for 6 hours the first time and 5 hours the second time. Both times I spoke with the surgeon, nurses and anesthesiologist both before and after the operation and they answered any questions I had. I also had my first PT session at the Center before discharge. An outstanding experience. Highly recommend the SurgCenter of the Potomac.

I recently had C-spine surgery, and I received excellent care. My nurse was kind and attentive, always checking on my comfort, and Dr. Hope and the entire surgical staff put me at ease. I was fortunate to have my procedure at a facility that at times felt more like a spa than a hospital! I highly recommend SurgCenter of the Potomac.

I had a microdiscectomy performed yesterday here and I would like say that my experience was great. Every member of the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. They made sure I had everything I needed and me feel very relaxed and comfortable before my procedure. Dr. Hughes performed my surgery and he is a great doctor. The nurses and also the anesthesiologist were cracking jokes with me before and the atmosphere was lively. I did not feel nervous or scared because I was treated so well before and after the surgery.
