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.

Procedure list is based on CMS-reported specialty designations. Contact the facility to confirm specific procedures offered.

I recently had a cataract surgery here with Dr. Brown. Marc G was my anesthesiologist. After starting the surgery I woke up during with horrible pain while they had to finish the surgery out. Marc failed to give me the correct doesage to keep me unconscious throughout the procedure. I went through 15 minutes being held down by nurses and the anesthesiologist while feeling the whole procedure. Most terrible pain in my lifetime. Beware of Marc G.

Dr. Cooke has again done a great job. Little blurry this afternoon, but know this will improve as time passes. All others that assisted in today's experience were very courteous, caring, and helpful taking care of any need or concern. Thanks to all.

Dr. Enzor gets 5 stars. Not only is she a great surgeon but also a caring human being. The evening after my surgery she phoned me at home to check on how I was doing. The Center itself needs better better administration. I can give examples if interested.

I could not have asked for better. The staff is both caring and professional. Dr Cooke is a one in a million doctor. I love my new eye. Can't wait to do the other. I look forward to enjoying my retirement with good vision
