Procedures Performed

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

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.
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 — impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage — 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.

Absolutely spectacular! The best care, compassionate, personable and overall just great people. I had an issue and my procedure couldn't be completed half way through and had to reschedule. They didn't charge me for the return visit which was so kind. I highly recommend this place

Every single person at Piccard is exceptional ! They are the nicest and most professional lovely staff, from the front desk to the doctors and nurses. They are lovely to work with. And I have been there at least 6 times over the years. The one lady that had a bad experience must just be a nasty person, because these people are the BEST !!

Excellent nurses! They were professional, caring, funny and on top of their duties. I had a longer procedure, and they kept my loved one informed and comfortable. Clean facility. The anesthesiologist and the surgeon (Dr. Petruccelli) were all great! Both of them informed me well of the procedures, patient with questions, kind and surgery went great!

This is my experience as a care-giver, if I could give them a negative star I would. My mother had to attend this surgery center twice for a wrist fracture repair. The first time the admin staff was curt but I figured they were just trying to make sure she understood the procedures. The second time, the surgery was scheduled last minute and when we arrived on Thursday at 3pm, the staff was incredibly rude. There are two staffers that sit at the front desk, 1 Hispanic young lady and 1 Asian young man. Both are absolutely in need of customer service and interaction training! Instead of focusing on the patients they want to be authoritative towards the care-givers assigned to picking up the patient. If we were just there the week before I don’t need you to re-explain the paperwork to she or I, and instead of getting an attitude because my mother is stressed by having to have a second surgery, the right thing would have been to comply with her needs and wishes. If you’re hostile from the initial interaction it cannot be expected that the people charged with protecting their loved ones won’t also become irate as well. I’m glad we will never again have to interact with this center again! The only saving grace for the entire experience were the doctor and nursing staff who took great care of my mom!
