Procedures Performed

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

Orthopaedic Surgery6
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.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery6
Breast Augmentation / ReductionBreast size is increased by placing implants, or decreased by removing breast tissue and skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. Reduction is often performed to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight.RhinoplastySurgery that reshapes the nose by altering the bone and cartilage beneath the skin. It is performed to change appearance, to correct breathing problems caused by internal structure, or both. Swelling takes months to fully resolve.FaceliftLiposuctionFat is suctioned out from beneath the skin through small tubes called cannulas, reshaping a specific area such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. It targets localized deposits and is a contouring procedure rather than a method of weight loss.Wound ReconstructionRebuilds skin and underlying tissue where a wound is too large or too damaged to close directly. Surgeons move nearby tissue, or transfer skin and muscle from elsewhere on the body, to cover the defect. Often follows trauma, infection, or cancer removal.Skin GraftingHealthy skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to cover a wound or burn elsewhere. Both the graft site and the donor site need care, and the donor site is often the more uncomfortable of the two.
Podiatry (Foot & Ankle Surgery)6
Bunion Correction (Bunionectomy)The bony prominence at the base of the big toe is removed and the bone realigned, often with screws or plates. Recovery involves weeks in a protective shoe or boot, and swelling can persist for several months.Hammertoe CorrectionA toe permanently bent at the middle joint is straightened, sometimes with a temporary pin holding the correction. Considered when the toe rubs painfully in shoes or has developed calluses and sores.Plantar Fascia ReleaseThe tight band of tissue along the bottom of the foot is partially released to relieve stubborn heel pain. Reserved for cases that have not improved after months of stretching, orthotics, and other conservative treatment.Ankle ArthroscopyA small camera and instruments treat problems inside the ankle joint — impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage — through incisions a few millimeters wide, avoiding a larger open exposure.Ingrown Toenail RemovalThe edge of a nail growing into the surrounding skin is removed under local anesthesia. When the problem keeps recurring, the nail-forming tissue at that edge is also treated so it does not grow back.Foot Fracture RepairBroken bones in the foot are realigned and stabilized with hardware so they heal in position. Because the foot bears your full weight with every step, alignment matters more here than the small bone size suggests.

Dr Epstein.. is very professional, polite and has a good sense of humor. He explained the X Ray's and we talked about my shoulder injury. He gave me a cortisone shot which I feel 100% better today. Also gave me a script for PT and medication to take everyday with food.I think he is an excellent Dr and he takes the time to listen to your issues and he is concerned about you. I was highly recommended from Ana who works diligently at Active care when i was a patient there. I think Dr David Epstein is a great orthopedic Dr and I highly recommend him. His staff was excellent too

Absolutely amazing! Dr. Epstein is currently helping me with a torn meniscus. I truly feel so confident in my upcoming surgery with Dr. Epstein. From the the time he entered the room, throughout the whole exam and even when leaving, he made me feel comfortable and assured me that he will help me.

I recently had ACL and meniscus surgery performed by Dr. Epstein, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the initial consultation to post-op follow-ups, Dr. Epstein made me feel informed, supported, and in incredibly capable hands. He took the time to walk me through every step of the process, answered all my questions with patience, and gave me complete confidence going into surgery. The procedure went smoothly, and thanks to his precision and expertise, my recovery has been progressing better than I could have hoped. Beyond being a highly skilled surgeon, Dr. Epstein truly cares about his patients. His attention to detail, bedside manner, and dedication to getting me back on my feet made all the difference. If you’re dealing with a knee injury, I highly recommend Dr. Epstein — he’s simply the best.

Dr Epstein was great! He was really nice, professional and informative. The entire process was exactly how he explained. Pain was minimal, recovery wasn’t bad and my shoulder feels great. I was impressed by the punctuality of the office visits. They run a tight ship and I was always in and out quickly. Thanks Dr E!
