Procedures Performed

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

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.
HysteroscopyA slim camera passed through the cervix examines the inside of the uterus, and can remove polyps or fibroids in the same visit. No abdominal incision is involved. Cramping for a day or two afterward is normal.LaparoscopyA camera and instruments are inserted through small abdominal incisions, allowing diagnosis and treatment without a large open incision. Used for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and pelvic pain, with recovery measured in days rather than weeks.D&C (Dilation and Curettage)The cervix is dilated and the uterine lining removed, for heavy bleeding, after a miscarriage, or to obtain tissue for diagnosis. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes and most people return to normal activity within a day or two.Tubal LigationThe fallopian tubes are sealed, cut, or removed to provide permanent contraception. It should be considered irreversible — reversal is not reliably successful, so it is intended for people certain they do not want future pregnancy.Endometrial AblationThe uterine lining is destroyed to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding, offering an alternative to hysterectomy. It is not a contraceptive, and it is only appropriate for those who have completed childbearing.Ovarian Cyst RemovalA persistent, enlarging, or painful ovarian cyst is removed, usually laparoscopically. Surgeons generally aim to remove the cyst while preserving the ovary itself, particularly for patients who may want future pregnancy.
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.

Initially they didn't review my insurance correctly so I had to use the voicemail they left me to get the pricing I was quoted when I booked. Then despite setting up an automatic payment plan with them they sent me to collections. I have never had anything go to collections in my life. I spent hours of my time arguing with them to get them to honor the bait and switch pricing they told me before surgery. Now who knows what I will have to deal with because they sent me to collections. Awful all around.

No rating applicable for the Woodbury Surgery Center. Upon arriving for an emergency surgery - we were given a non-stated contract outlining the bill for the surgery would need to be paid up front 100% before running insurance coverage. This would've been a $2500.00 payment up front before a two-hour surgery. Upon leaving the hospital, I did not receive a bill for close to three months. When receiving the bill, we had received 4 separate bills from 4 different departments/hospitals totaling over $4,000.00 this was also undisclosed: University of Minnesota, Anesthesiologist, Hudson Hospitals and Clinics, and Woodbury Surgery Center. We were told that it would be significantly cheaper by staff at the clinic to have the surgery performed at this site... Upon going to pay my bill they would only take full payment - no payment plans were offered. Fast forward 10 months and between my wife and myself calling in and disputing charges on the account over a dozen times - we have received multiple bills with incorrect totals, dates, and needless to say that the website for online payments was not active - the billing department has proved to be close to worthless. No one should ever step foot into this place. They will take total advantage of their clients - luckily, I refused to sign the billing contract that was given to my wife pre-surgery. Money hungry medical practices that have no sense of professionalism. At all costs - go to a hospital and get taken care - not by a third-party business.

I had a nose surgery done yesterday and the entire staff was the absolute best! From a warm greeting when I walked in to a very helpful women assisting me from waking up to walking out. Everyone including the dr’s and nurse’s was extremely helpful. Mr John the gentleman that helped me get settled in is a absolute beauty. Great energy and has a few good jokes too. He got my IV deal in with one try and I could barely feel it. I would highly recommend this location. I sure don’t wanna “slip on the ice” again but if I ever do I know where I’ll be headed. Thank you for being welcoming and caring for me. I hardly write reviews but you all were so amazing I had to. Keep being great.. From: Steven S

Before having my surgery here, I contacted them to discuss their poor reviews. Please do the same. The reviews do not fit how they operate in 2021. They were fantastic to deal with and kept in contact with me all the way up to & past my surgery. I knew weeks in advance the costs associated with my surgery and had the option to pay prior to having my surgery (which I did). The nurses, anesthesiologist, & staff there are AMAZING! You could not ask for a better team to take care of you. My significant other now requires surgery and we found a clinic which works with WSS so we can work with their team again.

Had two procedures done here today, and all the staff was AMAZING! My nurses were so nice and comforted me when I got an anxiety attack before the procedure. Even the anesthesiologist was so nice and reassured me I was going to be ok. I was given an anti anxiety medicine, to calm me down, and everything went smoothly from there. Overall the care and attention I received here was top notch. Also, I don’t think it’s fair that the only thing people are focusing on when they give their reviews, is the problems with the anesthesiologist billing.
