Procedures Performed

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

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.

We are having major billing issues. We received and paid a bill they sent for anesthesia for the first cataract surgery and have yet to receive a bill for the second. Yesterday we received a notice from a collections agency that our bill was in collections; the total bill for the anesthesia for both surgeries, including the one we paid! We called the Surgery Center and they say they cannot help and gave us a number at central billing to call. No one answers at this number and you have to leave a message. No one has called us back. We spoke with the collections company and they found some discrepancies in the information given them so they are helping us get this straightened out. This is serious for us. If you have a bill go to collections it shows on your credit report for 7 1/2 years! This was sent to collections when the charge was only 40 days old and before a bill had been issued. There is nothing right about doing business this way. As far as the surgery went, one lens has fogged up and will require further surgery. Also, they schedule groups of patients to come at the same time so you end up waiting for about three hours for a 20 minute procedure. Update: We finally reached someone to help and they say it should never have been sent to collections. Duh! We paid the $57 we owe, which we have not received a bill for, but they have made no effort to contact the collections agency, MNet, to straighten things out at this time.
