Procedures Performed

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

Knee ArthroscopyA camera and small instruments are inserted through incisions the size of a buttonhole to repair cartilage, trim a torn meniscus, or remove loose fragments. Because the joint is not opened fully, recovery is far faster than traditional open knee surgery.Shoulder ArthroscopyUses a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions to repair the shoulder joint — commonly for impingement, labral tears, or damaged cartilage. Most patients go home the same day and begin physical therapy within the first week.ACL ReconstructionRebuilds the torn anterior cruciate ligament using a graft, since a fully torn ACL does not heal on its own. The surgery itself is outpatient, but returning to cutting and pivoting sports typically takes nine to twelve months of structured rehabilitation.Rotator Cuff RepairReattaches torn tendons in the shoulder to the bone. Pain relief often comes well before strength does — a sling is typical for several weeks and full recovery commonly takes four to six months, with physical therapy doing much of the work.Carpal Tunnel ReleaseCuts the ligament pressing on the median nerve at the wrist to relieve numbness, tingling, and night pain in the hand. The procedure takes about 15 minutes under local anesthesia. Night symptoms often improve immediately; grip strength returns over several weeks.Joint ReplacementDamaged joint surfaces are replaced with implants, most commonly at the knee or hip. Once exclusively a hospital procedure, selected healthy patients now have this done at surgery centers and go home the same day with a structured recovery plan.
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.

If I could give zero stars, I would. billing is always messed up. they tried to bill me 4 times for the same thing. I was told that I had stage 3 breast cancer and she was adamant about it. Bass breast center refused to see me until I had the Biopsy which I refused to do until I saw a doctor. Went to Missoula and saw a Dr. there and lo and behold I DID NOT have Breast cancer. But the worst thing is I called them and asked the cardiologist to call my husband for a 5 minute conversation and they never responded. 3 days later my husband was gone.

Zero stars. Treatment was fine, billing department is a dumpster fire. As I was visiting from out of country I was required to provide proof of insurance prior to treatment. I contacted my travel insurance (100% coverage) and they faxed over all required documentation. The hospital confirmed receipt and proceeded with treatment. Over a year later I received a call from a collections agency in Montana trying to collect on this debt and Logan Health will not provide proof that my insurance was contacted for billing.

Would most definitely give zero stars to the Kalispell location if I could. Can’t get ahold of providers after hours- told to go online- so I have to go online in the midst of a minor panic and sign up, add my info, add my insurance card and be charged 75.00 to ask a question or get advice from my child’s doctor? Their operators also need to be fired and have zero compassion or customer service skills. Absolutely disgusting. Will be switching all of my children’s Pediatrician to somewhere else.

Credit be to god… But the staff at Kalispell Logan saved my daughter’s life! Both the ER & ICU staff are truly wonderful. The triage nurse, the front desk lady… the nurses, imaging techs, respiratory tech & doctors were all SOO helpful & did an amazing job! My daughter wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for the quick, thorough care she received! I am appreciative, grateful & indebted to the staff that cared for her. Thank you! ♥️

Honestly, they would have gotten a much higher review if the left me alone. I scheduled surgery yesterday and since then, I've received about 10 different phone calls with different departments asking the same questions and 8 different text messages, the most recent being a survey that I hung up on at 7pm at night. I've never worked with such a disorganized hospital. If someone gives you the information, and you can see that, talk to the other departments that have already called. Also, the nurses need to be trained better, as I was told one thing by a doctor, then told by a nurse that hung up on me that the doctor was wrong, then I scheduled what the doctor said the next day. I guarantee no patient wants to be harassed by a hospital
