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.
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.
Gastroenterology (GI Surgery)6
ColonoscopyA flexible camera examines the full length of the colon to screen for cancer and remove polyps before they become cancerous. Done under sedation, it typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The bowel prep the day before is the part most patients find hardest.Upper Endoscopy (EGD)A thin camera passed through the mouth examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Used to investigate persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or abdominal pain. Usually takes 15 to 30 minutes under sedation.Flexible SigmoidoscopyExamines the lower portion of the colon only, rather than its full length. Preparation is lighter than a full colonoscopy and sedation is sometimes unnecessary, but it cannot detect problems higher in the colon.Capsule EndoscopyYou swallow a vitamin-sized camera that photographs the small intestine as it passes through — a region that standard scopes cannot easily reach. There is no sedation and no recovery. The capsule passes naturally, and images are reviewed after the fact.ERCPCombines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat blockages in the bile and pancreatic ducts, most often gallstones stuck in a duct. Unlike a routine endoscopy, it carries a meaningful risk of pancreatitis afterward, so it is used when treatment is likely rather than for screening alone.Hemorrhoid TreatmentShrinks or removes swollen veins in the rectum and anus using rubber band ligation, injection, or surgical removal depending on severity. Banding is quick and typically requires no anesthesia; surgical removal is more effective for advanced cases but recovery is noticeably more uncomfortable.

If I had to have surgery, this was the place to do it. Everyone was very personable and kept me updated on what was happening each step of the way. Normally when I have to have an IV I end up getting poked 4-5 times, Janelle did it on the first try. Top notch group in my book. Thank you all for taking great care of me.

Worst experience ever! Dr. Was 2 hrs behind and didn’t notify me instead had me wait 3 hrs with mask on had to sit and listen to nurses talk about Doctors and personal lives while they congregated outside my room which tells me too many staff with nothing to do but stand around, was treated poorly by nurse who checked me in she put blood pressure cuff so tight I have bruises where it was pinching my skin and caused my arm to turn blood red! Dr. Was aggressive in giving me injection didn’t numb me enough and was in pain while he did it, could feel a lot of pressure while he did injection and he wouldn’t stop when I told him I could feel pressure and needle going up inside of me, instead I was told by nurse I was being difficult, really I was strapped to be face down and couldn’t move. Will never go back and wouldn’t recommend to anyone I know.

Amazing! Had carpal tunnel surgery & was well taken care of; from the moment I walked through the door until the time I left. The medical team here is amazing! Not one bad thing to say. Super clean, organized & well ran! Ms. Gert, Rachel, Jen, Ama & Jocelyn really know how to make patients feel respected & treated me as if I was one of their loved one's. Dr. Lee, the anesthesiologist was super! Dr. Jander made sure everything was explained to me & checked on me several times before, during & after he preformed the surgery. This facility ran like a well oiled machine & I plan on returning for my other wrist to be operated on!!! Great Job to All!!!!

I had my surgery on June 24, 2021. I had a total left knee replacement. My surgeon was Dr. Edward Rabbit who did an amazing job. Immediately following my surgery he spoke with my wife giving full details and putting any fear ir worries that she may have had about me as she was in the waiting room. I must admit that I was very please with the entire staff who was friendly and caring...I would highly recommend this place as If I ever needed another surgery I would not hesitate going there again...

My special needs son had his oral surgery in this surgery center in Clinton, MD 2 weeks ago. I am giving this place at least 2 stars for them having a nice nurse who assisted my son in recovering after the surgery. It was the most horrible experience we ever had! Prior to the surgery, two nurses had a hard time finding for my son's veins on where to put the IV for anaesthesia. They pricked him with the needle in the arm multiple times but were unsuccessful. My son is nonverbal and a jolly young adult but that day was a nightmare for him, he was screaming and teared up due to so much pain. The nurses called the anaesthesiologist for help but still he had to do it more than twice and there was an instance that needles broke off when they needed to turn the needle around while already inserted in my son's arm. I just realized that they just kept pricking on my son repeatedly without at least a few minutes break in between or didn't even use EMLA (numbing cream) to lessen the pain that I believe health professionals should use in special cases just like my son's condition. They gave me explanations why it was difficult to find the veins, etc. etc. We've been to different hospitals in the past and this is not the first time to have this IV insertion performed on my son, believe me, it was not as difficult as it was for some health professionals. I was expecting for the surgeon to speak with us prior to leaving the vicinity, I was very much concern about the multiple insertion they did on my son's veins. But unfortunately, I was told that the doctor was busy and they don't usually speak to patients or families after the surgery. Kim gave us a call to follow up though, thankful for her. Just sharing my thoughts, totally unhappy experience for my family.
