Procedures Performed

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

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.

Dr. Kushner was very astute. He asked a lot of questions about my medical history. He pointed out a path forward to address my anemia that no other doctor suggested before.

Dr. Perinbasekar is very thorough, kind, patient and caring. You won't feel rushed. He actually takes time to listen and answer any questions you may have. That's very rare especially these days when you sometimes feel like a number and not a person when seeking medical care. He is an excellent doctor. His staff is wonderful as well. Friendly, helpful and efficient. I highly recommend.

Dr. Kushner is a great gastroenterologist. He has a very good bedside manner. He truly believes in helping his patience recover to their fullest ability. I highly recommend him to anybody seeking digestive issues. He is very down to earth and tells it like it is.

Was recommended Dr Kushner from my husband and father-in-law and he was wonderful! He took the time to listen to my symptoms and concerns, he allowed me to speak without interruption. He also recommended I get a procedure done without me having to fight for it. He definitely put my mind at ease regarding my sensitive issues. Definitely will be calling him my regular Gastro!
