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.

Dr. Guest is the best. I have white coat syndrome. He is very positive, kind, and reassuring. He answers all questions patiently in detail. I still have white coat syndrome, but now I also have 20-20 vision in one eye and 20-30 in the other. I give Dr. Guest two thumbs up. Also, a shout out to Heidi, who was my nurse during surgery. Very nice and very kind.

I’ve had 14 eye surgeries. The last two at lakeshore. The staff is phenomenal. Dr. Obertynski is outstanding in every way. My experience could not have been better. Top medical care, kind, professional. The staff is simply amazing- all of them. Even the receptionist made me feel welcome And comfortable. Not to mention my vision is drastically improved!! Gratitude toward You all! Thank you

Bad experience stay away. The nurses were just awful, had to stick me 4 times to find a vein. The moment I woke up they got me right in a wheelchair and out the door. Didn't even have 5 min to compose myself and reorientate myself. Doctor caught me in hall on way out. Boy talk about production line surgery that was it.
