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 — 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.
Tonsillectomy / AdenoidectomyThe tonsils and sometimes the adenoids are removed for repeated infections or sleep-disordered breathing. Recovery is notably harder for adults than children, with significant throat pain for a week or more and a real emphasis on staying hydrated.Ear Tube PlacementTiny tubes are placed through the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear, most often for children with recurrent ear infections. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and the tubes usually fall out on their own within a year.Sinus Surgery (FESS)A camera and instruments passed through the nostrils open blocked sinus drainage pathways, with no external incisions. Considered for chronic sinusitis that has not improved with medication. Congestion often worsens briefly before it improves.SeptoplastyThe wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils is straightened to improve airflow through a blocked side. It addresses breathing rather than external appearance, though it is sometimes combined with cosmetic reshaping.Turbinate ReductionSwollen tissue inside the nose is shrunk to improve airflow, frequently at the same time as septoplasty. Often the difference between a nose that is structurally straight and one that actually feels open.LaryngoscopyA scope examines the voice box and vocal cords, used for persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or throat pain that has not resolved. Small lesions can sometimes be biopsied or removed during the same procedure.

I recently had surgery here this past Monday and they made the entire experience the best it could be. The front desk staff was attentive and informative when I was signing all my check in documentation. All the nurses and doctors who prep and take care of you during your surgery were awesome. They explained everything they were doing and explaining all of the steps. They made sure I was comfortable and knew what was going on. My surgery took longer than expected and they were closed by the time I was out. The two nurses who were left with me did not rush me out and took amazing post-op care of me. They insisted on me staying until I felt comfortable. I have had surgery before, not here, and was rushed out while still waking up from anesthesia, so this was a very refreshing experience. They gave me a lot of papers along with excellent verbal post op care for me to follow at home. Thank you Point of Rock for your awesome care!

I highly recommend Point of Rocks Surgery Center. On a day that I had high anxiety, I immediately felt as ease when arriving. The staff is highly competent and professional. Barbara - pre surgical nurse was great and kept my spirits up Alexa - surgery nurse was very good letting me know everything that was going on. Stacy - post surgery nurse was truly amazing. She made sure that I was comfortable and really helped with pain management, Her bedside manner was so good, at times I forgot I had knee replacement. My experience was off the charts great!!!! Mike

Had reconstructive knee surgery. The staff at the center were accommodating, detailed and professional. They called and took information and answered all my questions. They do call a day prior let you know what time to arrive due to the patient list so they can have the OR run as efficient as possible. They also have to make sure diabetic patients are the first in line for surgery and children as well. My surgeon loves the center and so do I! ❤️ I definitely recommend this surgical center.

I was scheduled to have surgery at this center today September 12, 2023. This review has NOTHING to do with the front staff at all. They were awesome and very respectful! This is more about the lack of communication to ME about the policy and procedures of this center at any time leading up to this surgery. My ENT/surgeon was working at this location today and that's the only reason I didn't go to the actual hospital. For anyone wondering, this is an ambulatory surgical center, not an actual hospital. If I had waited to go to the hospital, it'd be a couple more months down the road that I would have gotten this surgery. I have had this surgery scheduled since May 16, 2023. I have had 1 appointment with my ENT for a pre-op physical where my weight was not taken at any time. I get to the center today and check in, pay, and wait for 2 hours (normal to have delays in surgery that to me is never an issue). I finally get called back to change into my gown for pre op and the nurse says that my BMI is too high and that if they weigh me again with my gown on and it is still high that they can't do the surgery and will have to reschedule to do the surgery at the hospital. I was told that my number is 50.1 and they needed me below 50. So it's not like it was a large number and they still wouldn't operate because they said it was policy and a safety issue. Not at ANY part of the days, weeks, or months leading up to this surgery was my weight and BMI a discussion or a deciding factor into receiving this surgery. I took time off work and so did my dad to drive me to this surgery and to wait 2 hours and ONLY then be told about the policy that if my BMI was too high they wouldn't operate is very disturbing to me as a paying patient. I now have to wait even longer to get an appointment scheduled for this surgery in the hospital. The lack communication of the staff/working nurses/doctors to their patients is wrong and I will say that I was fully reimbursed for the amount of the operation shortly after I was given the bad news. I will never go to another center for surgery ever again! I will only go to hospitals. Please take this into consideration when you have an appointment here. I am deeply disappointed and hope they make their policies known to people.

Had the worst experience the day of the surgery. Dr was ready to do the surgery but they'd lost the paperwork and said we weren't scheduled even though I'd been sent an email with a scheduled arrival time. Took HOURS to figure it out and wouldn't let us in the building till they did. WAY overcharged for the procedure saying they deserved to be paid that much and the credits they took away were given as a mistake. We had to wait outside in the middle of the summer because of COVID....I'm sorry waiting outside for 5 hours in the middle of the summer isn't doable and no I'm not going home when my minor child is inside the building. As you can tell will never be going back here and I highly recommend going to a different surgical center if your Dr. operates out of a different one.
