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.
Breast Augmentation / ReductionBreast size is increased by placing implants, or decreased by removing breast tissue and skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. Reduction is often performed to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight.RhinoplastySurgery that reshapes the nose by altering the bone and cartilage beneath the skin. It is performed to change appearance, to correct breathing problems caused by internal structure, or both. Swelling takes months to fully resolve.FaceliftLiposuctionFat is suctioned out from beneath the skin through small tubes called cannulas, reshaping a specific area such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. It targets localized deposits and is a contouring procedure rather than a method of weight loss.Wound ReconstructionRebuilds skin and underlying tissue where a wound is too large or too damaged to close directly. Surgeons move nearby tissue, or transfer skin and muscle from elsewhere on the body, to cover the defect. Often follows trauma, infection, or cancer removal.Skin GraftingHealthy skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to cover a wound or burn elsewhere. Both the graft site and the donor site need care, and the donor site is often the more uncomfortable of the two.

Patient centered care is minimal. They cancelled my 2nd surgery 16 hrs prior to the surgery because they are no longer offering anesthesia services to Ophthalmology patients . I had to use out of pocket money and go to a different surgery center. On the up side, the pre op and post op care at the surgery center at Southpark was far superior. Lesson learned and buyer beware. #AtriumRN

I had an excellent experience here for sinus surgery in October. The nursing staff in pre and post op were very caring and the anesthesia team was also amazing. Having very thorough and kind professionals around me at all times made me feel much more at ease during the stress of surgery (the happy meds they gave me as they were wheeling me back also didn’t hurt haha). Grateful to this team for taking great care of me!

Edit: After two months waiting for a reply, the messages that I wrote through their portal have now been deleted. There is no worse business practices than here. Two words: ITEMIZED BILL! They are shady. They must be overcharging us and trying not to get caught. I've been trying to get an itemized bill for more than a month and "they are unable". Hmm. They were able to charge me more than $2000 BEFORE the surgery even happened. They told me I owed them $2000 the morning that I showed up for surgery. That's dirty and the last thing I needed 30 minutes before surgery. Don't bother sending messages to their portal - they ignore them. Call them on the phone - they dismiss you. After 5 weeks, my itemized bill for a $35,000 surgery (this is just to rent their place - I had to pay the surgeons separately) is 2 line items. $12,800 - surgery. $11,300 - surgery. Then the miscellaneous items line. I guess I'll have to take it to the next level. They're scamming us and the insurance that we're paying for. No wonder healthcare is so expensive.

I had a wonderful experience here today for my foot surgery. The staff went above and beyond to make surgery (of all things) a memorable and even comical experience. Emily (hope you enjoyed your birthday Sonic!) and Laura were funny, personable, and truly showed love and dedication in their work. There was another fantastic nurse whose name I regret not learning the name of (sassy, big personalitily, brown hair), but the entire team had me cracking up, which is not something I ever expected from a hospital or surgical center. Their laughter, kindness, and professionalism put me at ease both before and after surgery. It reminded me that laughter really is the best medicine, and the Patch Adams–like spirit of this team deserves recognition from upper management. In over forty years of being in-and-out of hospitals, I have never encountered patient care like this. It wasn’t just good medicine: it was healing in the truest sense. Whoever is in charge of this team, DO SOMETHING NICE FOR THESE NURSES! They deserve to be commended.

Easy to find. Easy to park. Fast, friendly, efficient, check-in, and processing, clean and comfortable and spacious waiting room bonus – fantastic coffee machine. Very much appreciated when waiting for patients in the early morning hours. Graham at check in is hilarious. Staff goes under their way to make you feel comfortable and communicate the process. Downside is billing. Wish they would just give an itemized list once with all the fees. Instead of phone calls here and there. Overall great experience.
