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.
Interventional Pain Management6
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 had a great experience at Metropolitan surgical institute. From front desk staff to the post op nurse everyone was great. I first saw the nurse(didn’t get her name)that put my IV in she did an amazing job despite me being dehydrated from a stomach bug I had the week prior to my procedure😩. She even took me back to the waiting area to say goodbye to my husband since nobody is allowed back. Then I was greeted by my preop nurses Dina and Marianne they both were great and made me feel comfortable. Once I was ready for surgery I met with the anesthesia team Kristin and Dr. Daniel. Both were amazing and very informative with what to expect. Dr. Daniel gave the best cocktail I’ve ever had😉😅. Then my doctor Dr. Greenberg came to give me the run down, he made me feel more comfortable with everything that was going to be done. Then my OR nurse Mario came to get me and showed me how to set myself up on the procedure bed. Which was in a sitting position, first time for me. Then Dr. Daniel gave me the good stuff and sent me for a nice nap😴. Then I woke up in the post op area and was greeted by my post op nurse Marisa, who was also very friendly and gentle helping me get dressed. I’ve had a few procedures and by far this was the nicest experience I’ve had. Thank you to everyone that took great care of me.

Everyone was extremely welcoming and kind. Forgive me if I do not remember names. The nurse who began my IV was flawless! I’ve never had one inserted so painlessly. To Debra, my OR nurse, thank you for my warm blankets, especially the one in the OR. I appreciated all the professionalism and care I received while I was there. Thank you!!!

For everyone with anxiety....Don't worry. I was extremely nervous about my arthroscopic knee surgery. The surgical center is immaculate. Everyone there was so calming and reassuring. They listened to all your questions. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Miller, was so informative and patient with my questions and apprehension. My surgeon, Dr. Tejani, was very clear and very positive. The nurses in pre-op and post-op took such good care of me. Even the front desk staff were so sweet and put you at ease. Thank you all so,so much...
