Procedures Performed

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

Urology6
CystoscopyA thin camera passed through the urethra examines the bladder lining. Used to investigate blood in the urine, recurrent infections, or urinary difficulty. The procedure takes only a few minutes and is often done with numbing gel rather than sedation.Kidney Stone Treatment (Lithotripsy)Shock waves break a kidney stone into fragments small enough to pass in the urine. No incision is required. Passing the fragments over the following days can still be uncomfortable, and a temporary stent is sometimes placed to keep the ureter open.Transurethral ResectionTissue is removed through the urethra using a scope, with no external incision — most commonly to relieve urinary obstruction from an enlarged prostate, or to remove bladder tumors. A catheter typically stays in place briefly afterward.VasectomyCircumcisionProstate ProceduresA group of treatments addressing an enlarged prostate blocking urine flow, ranging from steam and implant techniques to tissue removal. Options differ meaningfully in recovery time and in their effect on sexual function — worth discussing specifically.

Staff and service was all fine, up until the bill came. $4500 for a roughly 40 minute procedure which other providers are in the ~$200-$500 range for. Of course I got the runaround between insurance and their billing departments when inquiring. Shame on me for not getting a quote in writing I guess. Do your diligence before going here!

I went to the center for a procedure with a friend. The office was nice and they were on schedule. He had his procedure and the nurse in the recovery room was excellent in explaining what to expect and put his mind at ease. This nurse had excellent bed side manner. I would recommend this center to anyone who needs Uro care. Thank you nurse Valerie! Job well done!
