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.

Everyone was top-notch from the time I entered the building, the receptionist , preop staff, OR staff, the anesthesiologist, my surgeon, postop staff, all amazing. It’s not often you can say that about any facility and definitely not in healthcare anymore. Well run. Kind. Compassionate but efficient… As a health care professional for over 30 years I was nervous having surgery away from “home”. It was just like being taken care of by the people I have worked with for years. Well done and much appreciated! Thank you All!

Check in went well, first part of assessment went well, then all hell breaks loose. I laid in the bed for over 1 and one half hours with NOT one person to check on me. The doctor was running behind schedule and not one person had the common courtesy to communicate. Communication is the key. If I didn’t appreciate Sr Coleman, I would have pulled my OV out and left. Found out I should have had Tylenol prior to even going into the OR, that never happened. Found it interesting the Clinical Coordinator Joline became my nurse and not one time did ever apologize for the lack of anything. I am actually reporting this practice to Professional Misconduct- patient neglect. And know I would e recommend this place to anyone

Trying to schedule surgery is like pulling teeth. Both myself and the doctor/surgeon had left messages for the scheduler over an 2 1/2 week span and it was not until I left a message with the manager did I get a surgery date that had been discussed weeks prior. It should have been a red flag on the spot when I got the call desk and they said “yeah IF she’s even at her desk otherwise you’ll just have to leave a message and wait.” The day before surgery I was told I’d get a call so I asked if I didn’t hear anything by 3pm should I call…no no you’ll hear way before that… 315pm I leave a message returned by someone filling in for previously mentioned scheduler at 340pm to be told my surgery is at 615am. When I arrived all of the staff was extremely nice, caring, friendly and helpful except for one OR nurse. She was rude and didn’t wait for me to transfer completely over to the table onto a squished up bean bag and when I was trying to adjust I was like this is extremely uncomfortable and digging into my rib cage(that still hurts) Her response “well yeah you’re on a rolled up bean bag obviously it’s gonna be uncomfortable” to which when I went to move she told them to put me to sleep and that was it before I woke up in recovery. Not the last memory I want to have of going under for a surgery. Do better. Have some bedside manner.

Sat in the waiting room almost 3 hours. While we waited, a lunch delivery came for employees. We didn't order lunch due to having at 10:15am appointment. Had we known, we would have eaten lunch at home and arrived promptly 3 hours late. No apology was given for the inconvenience. No apology was made to my next appointment for which I was late due to being held up at this appointment.
