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.
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.

On the plus side, staff was courteous and helpful. On the negative, this facility has a very cold, impersonal atmosphere, including the gray and beige decor. Patients are run through like an assembly line. Family is not allowed in the recovery room, as is customary in hospital related surgical centers. Never saw or spoke to the surgeon. The patient checks in, is whisked back into the interior surgical suite, and is wheeled out out when done. Post surgical instructions are given to a recently sedated patient with no family member present to be sure they're understood. Not a fan.

I'm normally seen elsewhere but my clinic is using this clinic during construction. Everyone was super kind but Beth the anesthesiologist is an absolute gem! She was funny and put me at ease quickly. I only wish she was a doctor that I could regularly see because she was so kind.

This facility would not tell me if they were a BCBS Michigan Network 1 or Network 2 provider. I had to infer based on the nature of the estimate, and contact BCBS directly. If you are coming here from IHA using UM Premier Care, do not assume that this is Network 1. My bill here was estimated to be over a grand for a procedure covered 100% at a Network 1 facility. BCBS was not sure why the billing department here could not share with me whether they were Network 1 or Network 2. Maybe AASC has a good reason, but I found the explanation of "...we only got our contract for BCBS a month ago..." inadequate. Of course this may change, but at the time of this review, I had to call IHA, AASC, and BCBS to get answers to my questions. I let IHA know that I would be scheduling my procedure elsewhere, and was able to get a consult with a University of Michigan Health System doctor within three days. This review does not pertain to the facility's cleanliness, or specific services, only to interacting with its billing department. I have given them 3 stars because the person I spoke with on the phone was generally friendly, ran my insurance a second time, and handled my persistence calmly. They were also clear that they expected payment up front, and indicated they could request a payment post-insurance processing, but that it was a special request that could be denied. This same person was not able to explain to me whether the facility was a Network 1 or Network 2 facility. Not having those details available to help potential patients make quick and effective decisions is a massive problem, and I hope that AASC corrects this in the future.
