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.

I went for a procedure today at this facility. From the time you walk in, you are treated with kindness and respect. The staff: physicians, nurses, front desk were all terrific. The facility is clean and well organized. It was a great experience. They should all be so proud of the care they give. Thank you!

Money hungry people here. As soon as I was Scheduled to get injection billing is on the phone demanding a $340.00 copay the night before procedure. Just for an injection. Also waited 5 weeks No compassion about the pain I'm in. And I have full coverage with my insurance. They just interested in the money they make off of you. I didn't trust them and canceled

I would like to thank the Lakewood Surery center for the recent care I received on 10/23/24. The front desk check in went seem less. The nurse that took care of me made me very comfortable and was very professional and caring. Anesthesiologist was very professional and last but not least the nurse and anesthesiologist that took me to operating room calmed my nerves with jokes and made me relaxed. Thanks again to all at Lakewood Surgery center.

I highly recommend this place. They all are so very personable and genuine. They all make you feel comfortable. The lady at the front desk, the nurses and doctors all made me feel like I have known them for years. I was so nervous walking in there not knowing what to expect but they told me they would take good care of me and they kept their word. They do the best they can for their patients. If I could give more than five stars I surely would. Thankyou to all the staff.
