Procedures Performed

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

Dermatology6
Mohs Surgery (Skin Cancer)Skin cancer is removed one thin layer at a time, with each layer examined under a microscope during the visit until no cancer cells remain. This spares the most healthy tissue and has very high cure rates, which is why it is preferred on the face.Mole & Lesion RemovalA mole or growth is removed because it is changing, irritated, or unwanted. Removed tissue is usually sent for pathology. Any mole that changes in size, color, or border is worth evaluating rather than watching.Skin BiopsyCyst RemovalA fluid- or keratin-filled sac beneath the skin is removed. Taking out the full sac wall matters — draining a cyst without removing its lining almost always allows it to return.Scar RevisionAn existing scar is cut out and re-closed, or repositioned to fall along a natural skin crease, so it blends more closely with surrounding skin. Surgeons generally wait until a scar has fully matured before revising it.Laser ProceduresFocused light treats skin concerns including vascular lesions, pigmentation, scarring, and unwanted hair. Multiple sessions are typically required, and sun protection before and after treatment strongly affects the result.
Otolaryngology (ENT Surgery)6
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.
General Surgery6
Hernia RepairTissue pushing through a weak spot in the abdominal wall is returned to place and the defect reinforced, usually with mesh. Hernias do not resolve on their own and gradually enlarge, so repair is typically recommended once symptoms appear.Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy)The gallbladder is removed through several small incisions, most often because gallstones are causing pain after meals. Digestion continues normally without it, though some people find fatty foods harder to tolerate for a period afterward.AppendectomyThe inflamed appendix is removed, usually laparoscopically and usually urgently, since a ruptured appendix is considerably more dangerous than an intact one. Recovery from an uncomplicated case is typically a week or two.HemorrhoidectomySurgical removal of severe hemorrhoids that have not responded to banding or other office treatments. It is the most effective option and also the most uncomfortable — expect a recovery of a couple of weeks.Skin Lesion RemovalA concerning or bothersome growth is cut away, usually under local anesthesia, and typically sent for pathology to confirm whether it is benign. The visit is short and most people return to normal activity the same day.Laparoscopic ProceduresSurgery performed through several small incisions using a camera and long instruments rather than one large opening. Compared with open surgery this generally means less pain, smaller scars, and a faster return to normal activity.

I had a colonoscopy with no sedation. It was my 2nd time having it this way. My experience with Dr. Bueno was exceptional. He was kind, talked some through the procedure, and best of all, I had very little pain.

Dr. Ouyang went out of her way to call me after the issues i had with the receptionist/scheduling. She got me in immediately, got me scheduled for the procedures I needed and listened to my concerns. I truly appreciate her kindness and diligence in looking into what is going on with me.
