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.
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.

I brought my son here a few years ago to have his tonsils/adenoids removed, then I was there yesterday to use my tonsils removed. I haven’t met a rude, disrespectful or insensitive person that works there!! - The front desk woman (I wish I could remember her name) was friendly, organized and prompt. You can tell she is efficient ;) She explained everything very clearly. - My nurse (Mara?) was so sweet and I felt very comfortable with her. She - Dr. Yan? My anesthesiologist was very respectful and had good bedside manner. - The woman with grayish hair in a pony tail who came in to talk to me about what I could expect after surgery, you could tell she repeats the same speech all day, but she was still funny and sarcastic and it lightened the mood. - Recovery was a little blurry but my nurse was very gentle and kind. Even the woman who wheeled my out to the car was so nice! I can’t say anything bad about this place!! I hope they all get to read this and remember why they do what they do everyday and they matter to their patients! Thank you 🙏💜🫡

I took my daughter here for a procedure and it was one of the best experiences I have every had in any medical facility. They were efficient, explained the whole process in detail and every single person we talked to was so polite and professional. I usually dont write reviews but I just had to for Great Lakes Surgical Center, as they exceeded any and all expectations.

My experience with Great Lakes Surgical Center far exceeded my expectations. All the staff were attentive, caring and so easy to talk to. My 1yr old and I had to be at the facility at 5:40am and there was not one negative even that early. Thank you for the kind staff who treated my baby with such great care, they even have him a cute squish mellow to make him feel better. Thank you thank you!!!

The Staff at Great Lakes Surgical Center are awesome!! I went for the first time today for cataract surgery. Christie was so sweet, friendly, terrific and professional, getting me ready for the surgery, taking my vitals, and informing me of everything happening along the way for pre op. Tim was the friendly medical person who gave me wonderful care afterward, getting me a snack and giving me all the post op instructions. Superb pleasant staff from intske to discharge, excellent care and a wonderful facility to have the surgery at! Shout out to Dr. YU for the surgery. My experience here was terrific! Looking forward to having my other eye done there in few weeks!
