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.

Service at this location is so-so. Nurse Gabrielle was great; nurse Faith was extremely mediocre. Staff is average, not outstanding. Would not recommend to others.

I had an excellent experience at Cataract and Laser Center, INC. in Dedham, MA. The receptionist was warm, welcoming, and professional. The medical team, especially the doctors, showed great expertise and care throughout the process. I felt safe, well-guided, and supported. Thank you for the outstanding service and professionalism!

Happy with the result but... Having already paid 1800 dollars for the less than 'wonderful' option (I would need reading glasses) which was 4000 dollars (probably no glasses) I was greeted at the center with a demand for 250 dollars for the 'Facility Fee'. Surprise! I just received another bill for 392.21. Surprise! None of the charges were mentioned when I plopped down the 1800 dollars. But then why ruin the surprises? Should you opt for their services be sure to get the total costs up front. Unless of course you like these kinds of surprises.

Recently had both eyes treated (December 2024) and I want to say everything went amazingly well with these people. Absolutely first rate. . Nice people, very knowledgeable and professional, took what could be an anxiety provoking situation and made it easy and quite painful free. These days you’re offered either laser or scalpel approach. I went with laser, costs a bit, but you walk out in 100% great shape and healing is quick. So go get rid of those cataracts, these people will make you feel good about your choice.

They never tell you they can have you wait up to 60 min past your appointment time to be seen. It would be nice if someone would communicate this information. We waited 50 min with no one updating when we might be seen. A little TLC from the staff would be nice.
