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.

I couldn't be happier with my results from my cataract surgeries. I had both eyes done 1 week apart in June of 2024. First of all, I would like to say that I did try the prescription glasses first, mainly just to get by without having to go through the surgery process. I tried that for about 7 months and it was just more of a pain. I had gotten to the point to where I was avoiding driving at night all together. When I was fitted for the glasses I was told it would be just a temporary fix, but I did have cataracts in both eyes and one was worse than the other. Dr. Gillespie told me that I wasn't usually a candidate for the surgery because of my age, but I work very close with my eyes on a daily basis so I was ready to make an improvement. The entire staff at the clinic were always very nice and attentive. You will have to wait a bit, only because Dr. Gillespie is a one man show, but something I was very impressed with, he doesn't just rush your appointment. He takes the time to get everything RIGHT. I had a few adjustments to my Light Adjustable Lenses, but he made me feel very comfortable with everything that was going on before they were able to get the lenses locked in. I would highly recommend the Eye Laser and Surgery Center if you are looking into getting cataract surgery.
