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.

My sister had been struggling with new floaters for weeks. I kept encouraging her to reach out to the doctor to see if something more serious was going on. Sarah returned her call and Sarah was rude and condescending and lacked simple, basic compassion as she flatly spoke, lacking compassion to a very scared patient. She stated to me sister that she was just "being honest.... and if you work in a hospital like you've said, then you know it's better to be honest" Honesty was not in Sarah's words. Belittling and cruelty were in her words while working with a population that is just trying to grapple with the truth of aging and all the scary symptoms that accompany that process. I have only one thing to say about all of the above: DO BETTER Sarah. Do better!

I had eye surgery done by Dr. Neu and he is wonderful. He is very caring yet efficient. He has an encouraging way about him that I especially appreciate. His staff mirrors his good qualities as well. Thank you MNP for the excellent care I’ve received at your hand!

Dr. Young is wonderful. He performed my cataract surgery and just recently lasered scar tissue from one of my eyes. I've had no issues from my surgery and highly recommend him. I am not a good patient, but he and his staff put me at ease.

After having cataract surgery, mistakenly, at Mercy and not being happy with the results or care provided, I made an appointment with an ophthalmologist at Mattax Neu Prater and was thrilled with the care I received. In 2024 I saw Dr Engleman and was very pleased with the care I received. I just had a visit with him today and am extremely happy with all the staff at MNP and will be back in a year, or earlier if necessary, for further care that I trust implicitly. I have recommended MNP to anyone talking about needing eye surgery or care. You have a well-run busy office, everyone is pleasant and the care is excellent. Brenda Seastedt RN LCSW
