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.

Just read the review that says they tell you to allow for TWO HOURS??? I've never in my life had an eye appt take that long even w dilation. Have been sitting in the parking lot for an hour and a half waiting for my friend to finish his appt- he texted that they just took him in (his appt was for 845, they took him in at 940 and said they had "an emergency"- but ive seen countless people go in and come out in that time). It's such a farce when medical places like this don't respect anyone's time because they would NEVER accept a patient that showed up almost an hour late, but when they do it, it's always supposed to be fine

I like Dr Kaldawy, I made 2 appointments in June for November that NO ONE RECORDED! I WENT TO THE APPOINTMENT AND WAS MET WITH BLANK FACES. NO APOLOGIES. NOT A HAPPY PATIENT.

Office staff is very pleasant. You do wait a bit, but they warn you up front about that with each reminder that they send you. Allow two hours for your appointment like they suggest, and you won't be stressed. Their exams are very thorough and they are very patient and allow you to ask as many questions as you would like. Dr. Liu is wonderful!

I can't recommend Dr. Adam's office enough! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and upbeat, which instantly put me at ease. They run such a professional and well-organized practice, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Dr. Adam's is amazing—he has such a calm and reassuring presence that made me feel comfortable throughout my entire visit. He took the time to explain every step of the exam and answered all of my questions thoroughly. His professionalism and ability to make everything easy to understand truly stood out. If you're looking for an eye doctor who combines expertise with a warm, personal touch, Dr. Adam's office is the place to go. I couldn’t be happier with my experience!.

This places wait times are ridiculous. It's worse than the RMV and social security office combined. They obviously overbook to make more money. I will be bringing my mother elsewhere. Appointment at 10:40 a.m. Not out of there till 1:20 p.m.
