Procedures Performed

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

Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery)6
Cataract SurgeryThe clouded natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with a clear artificial one. It is one of the most common outpatient procedures performed in the country, usually takes under 30 minutes per eye, and is done under light sedation with numbing drops rather than general anesthesia.LASIK / Refractive SurgeryA laser reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, reducing dependence on glasses or contacts. The procedure itself takes minutes per eye. Vision is often noticeably better within a day, though it can take several weeks to fully stabilize.Glaucoma SurgeryCreates a new drainage path for fluid inside the eye to lower internal pressure. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve silently, so the goal is preventing further vision loss rather than restoring vision already lost. Several minimally invasive options are now performed in outpatient settings.Retinal SurgeryRepairs the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, most often for a detached or torn retina, or for bleeding related to diabetes. Timing matters — a detaching retina is treated urgently because delay increases the risk of permanent vision loss.Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)Removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. When drooping upper lids block part of the visual field, the procedure is functional rather than cosmetic and is often covered by insurance if visual field testing documents the obstruction.Corneal TransplantReplaces damaged or clouded corneal tissue with donor tissue. Modern techniques often replace only the affected layer rather than the full thickness, which shortens recovery. Vision improves gradually over months, and stitches may stay in place for a year or longer.

Procedure list is based on CMS-reported specialty designations. Contact the facility to confirm specific procedures offered.

I have recommended this office to my coworkers and family. The staff were all so helpful and very knowledgeable in dealing with my vision insurance. It was so easy to make an appointment and very little wait time. The technician was very friendly and Dr.Talbot was so knowledgeable and explained everything. It was the most thorough eye appointment I have had in years!

Everyone who works there is always so nice. Dr Talbot has a great demeanor. He took his time listening to any questions or concerns I might have had. He went over my eye exam tests with me and explained everything to me in detail.

Eye tech was friendly and explained each test thoroughly. I've been a patient of Dr. Talbot for over a decade and never been at the least disappointed. He is always friendly, also explains everything thoroughly. He never makes you feel rushed or unsure of asking questions and always offers suggestions for better eye care and health. I am happy to refer patients to him always.

Communication prior to the visit was very good (emails, link to fill out paperwork prior to appointment). Staff very friendly. Wait time upon arrival was only a couple of minutes. The technician performing tests was friendly and patient. The Doctor was excellent, taking time to fully explain everything and answer all questions. It was a very good experience from start to finish.

Everyone at the office was courteous and professional. In these Covid days, they took every precaution following all the guidelines so there was no waiting and I could see them sanitizing after each part of my exam. The exam itself was thorough and Dr. Talbot took the time to explain things and allowed for any questions or concerns. Great experience!
