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.
Orthopaedic Surgery6
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.
Otolaryngology (ENT Surgery)6
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.
Interventional Pain Management6
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.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery6
Breast Augmentation / ReductionBreast size is increased by placing implants, or decreased by removing breast tissue and skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. Reduction is often performed to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight.RhinoplastySurgery that reshapes the nose by altering the bone and cartilage beneath the skin. It is performed to change appearance, to correct breathing problems caused by internal structure, or both. Swelling takes months to fully resolve.FaceliftLiposuctionFat is suctioned out from beneath the skin through small tubes called cannulas, reshaping a specific area such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. It targets localized deposits and is a contouring procedure rather than a method of weight loss.Wound ReconstructionRebuilds skin and underlying tissue where a wound is too large or too damaged to close directly. Surgeons move nearby tissue, or transfer skin and muscle from elsewhere on the body, to cover the defect. Often follows trauma, infection, or cancer removal.Skin GraftingHealthy skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to cover a wound or burn elsewhere. Both the graft site and the donor site need care, and the donor site is often the more uncomfortable of the two.
Gastroenterology (GI Surgery)6
ColonoscopyA flexible camera examines the full length of the colon to screen for cancer and remove polyps before they become cancerous. Done under sedation, it typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The bowel prep the day before is the part most patients find hardest.Upper Endoscopy (EGD)A thin camera passed through the mouth examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Used to investigate persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or abdominal pain. Usually takes 15 to 30 minutes under sedation.Flexible SigmoidoscopyExamines the lower portion of the colon only, rather than its full length. Preparation is lighter than a full colonoscopy and sedation is sometimes unnecessary, but it cannot detect problems higher in the colon.Capsule EndoscopyYou swallow a vitamin-sized camera that photographs the small intestine as it passes through — a region that standard scopes cannot easily reach. There is no sedation and no recovery. The capsule passes naturally, and images are reviewed after the fact.ERCPCombines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat blockages in the bile and pancreatic ducts, most often gallstones stuck in a duct. Unlike a routine endoscopy, it carries a meaningful risk of pancreatitis afterward, so it is used when treatment is likely rather than for screening alone.Hemorrhoid TreatmentShrinks or removes swollen veins in the rectum and anus using rubber band ligation, injection, or surgical removal depending on severity. Banding is quick and typically requires no anesthesia; surgical removal is more effective for advanced cases but recovery is noticeably more uncomfortable.

Amazing staff, very efficient procedures, and very clean and orderly location. If I have to get surgery again, I hope it’s with them.

Note: the surgery was only yesterday, so this doesn't cover long-term care I was only the companion, so I can't speak for the surgery itself, mostly just the aftercare. Tl;dr We had such a positive experience, this is so long as a bit of a letter of gratitude for the folks at the surgery center. My mom had a knee replacement, which we've both been super stressed about for a while. Everything was very clear about what the timing, prep, etc. were going to be ahead of time (when we'd get the call about the schedule, what to do to prepare, they even had a class for what to do at home post-surgery). As for the post-op/recovery: First of all, to a person, everybody was SO NICE!!! I was so impressed by how personable they were, how they took the time they could to get to know my mom, how clear they were on the goals for the day, how well they articulated what we needed to do. Mostly everything was smooth sailing, but the nerve blocker was slow to wear off so my mom had a tough time standing at first. They communicated what was happening and reassured us both that there was no real rush and we wanted to be cautious. In the meantime, while we waited, they checked on her often and after we'd been there for several hours they got us set up with a laptop so we could play some trivia! That was just an extra step that made the time pass so much quicker and more pleasantly. For my part as the caretaker, in general I'm pretty upbeat and optimistic, for sure on such a short scale I can usually power through easily. HOWEVER, since we had the first appointment of the day I had slept really poorly, and since we'd been so stressed leading up to the surgery my nerves were a bit frayed. I did my best to stay out of the way while absorbing all the info I could. I was so moved that a number of the staff checked in on me! They got me a coffee, answered every one of my questions, recommended I take a little bit of time for a walk, and when I had a little mini breakdown at the end of our nine hour day, I got a hug and so much support and encouragement. One of the staff members even called to check on us once we got home. Special shoutout to Amy and Nicole. Truly lovely human beings and made the whole experience that much more smooth and less stressful. With all the info, there were a couple of fine details that were a little unclear once we got home, but nothing dire and since we're having a home visit any of that stuff should be answered today. Someday (hopefully in the distant future!!!) I will likely need my hip replaced, I would not hesitate to get it done here. In fact, if I can, I will request it. Thank you, team!! Keep up the great - and compassionate - work!

I had a SHOULDER ARTHROSCOPY WITH SUBACROMIAL DECOMPRESSION AND EXTENSIVE DEBRIDEMENT 2 days ago which was performed by Dr. Brian Busconi. The facility is absolutely beautiful and looks brand new. The waiting room is well furnished and very comfortable with snacks and drinks available. The electronic patient board keeps people waiting for patients updated on the status of their procedures. ALL staff members I encountered were extremely upbeat, personable, friendly, and helpful! They were professional and worked very well as a unit. Most notably I received excellent care from Heather, Kerry, Zoe, Dr. Anesthesia (sorry I don't recall your name), Kelsey, and Evan (who wasn't my recovery nurse, but was super friendly and helpful!). Thank you to Dr. Busconi and all the staff at the Surgery Center who made a typically anxious ordeal a pleasant one!

Incredible location and staff! No wonder it gets 4.9 reviews. It’s beautiful inside and out. So rare for a healthcare system. My mom had two hand surgeries here and it was so easy for everyone involved. Thank you for your wonderful service!

Had Ulnar nerve replacement surgery here. Place seemed so beautiful! Waiting room was relaxing and even had a "patient board" where it show the first two letters of first name and first two of last name of the patient and how far along they are in the surgery process for those waiting for them! I had the best care team! I suffer from extreme anxiety and everyone took the time to answer my annoying questions and make me feel calm. Surgery went smoothly and they gave me time to recover afterwards!
