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.

So this is a mixed review! I will start with the positive; the staff, especially the nurses, provided extremely good care both days of my cataract surgeries. They were friendly and informative. I had to return to have the film removed (common) and that visit was less pleasant, the nurse and doctor were both "bothered" by my presence. Now, this is where it goes completely off the rails. My surgeries were in early July. I had to pay nearly $900 upfront to have my surgery. I was assured that after my insurance company paid (the full amount), I would receive a refund for my upfront contribution. We are now in the beginning of December and after multiple attempts to contact the billing department, I was provided with a response of, we'll look into it (transferring responsibility to corporate). My upfront payment was not submitted to my insurance, they have no record of my payment. I'm not sure if I am dealing with insurance fraud or just an incompetent billing department. I suspect I will be contacting them again to follow up because they appear uninterested in resolving my financial burden created by their department. Be cautious of your financial transactions with this location or try another business if possible! I wish I could have reviewed the initial surgery nurses separate because they are great!
