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.
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.
Otolaryngology (ENT Surgery)6
Tonsillectomy / AdenoidectomyThe tonsils and sometimes the adenoids are removed for repeated infections or sleep-disordered breathing. Recovery is notably harder for adults than children, with significant throat pain for a week or more and a real emphasis on staying hydrated.Ear Tube PlacementTiny tubes are placed through the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear, most often for children with recurrent ear infections. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and the tubes usually fall out on their own within a year.Sinus Surgery (FESS)A camera and instruments passed through the nostrils open blocked sinus drainage pathways, with no external incisions. Considered for chronic sinusitis that has not improved with medication. Congestion often worsens briefly before it improves.SeptoplastyThe wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils is straightened to improve airflow through a blocked side. It addresses breathing rather than external appearance, though it is sometimes combined with cosmetic reshaping.Turbinate ReductionSwollen tissue inside the nose is shrunk to improve airflow, frequently at the same time as septoplasty. Often the difference between a nose that is structurally straight and one that actually feels open.LaryngoscopyA scope examines the voice box and vocal cords, used for persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or throat pain that has not resolved. Small lesions can sometimes be biopsied or removed during the same procedure.
Obstetrics & Gynecology6
HysteroscopyA slim camera passed through the cervix examines the inside of the uterus, and can remove polyps or fibroids in the same visit. No abdominal incision is involved. Cramping for a day or two afterward is normal.LaparoscopyA camera and instruments are inserted through small abdominal incisions, allowing diagnosis and treatment without a large open incision. Used for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and pelvic pain, with recovery measured in days rather than weeks.D&C (Dilation and Curettage)The cervix is dilated and the uterine lining removed, for heavy bleeding, after a miscarriage, or to obtain tissue for diagnosis. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes and most people return to normal activity within a day or two.Tubal LigationThe fallopian tubes are sealed, cut, or removed to provide permanent contraception. It should be considered irreversible — reversal is not reliably successful, so it is intended for people certain they do not want future pregnancy.Endometrial AblationThe uterine lining is destroyed to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding, offering an alternative to hysterectomy. It is not a contraceptive, and it is only appropriate for those who have completed childbearing.Ovarian Cyst RemovalA persistent, enlarging, or painful ovarian cyst is removed, usually laparoscopically. Surgeons generally aim to remove the cyst while preserving the ovary itself, particularly for patients who may want future pregnancy.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery6
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.
Podiatry (Foot & Ankle Surgery)6
Bunion Correction (Bunionectomy)The bony prominence at the base of the big toe is removed and the bone realigned, often with screws or plates. Recovery involves weeks in a protective shoe or boot, and swelling can persist for several months.Hammertoe CorrectionA toe permanently bent at the middle joint is straightened, sometimes with a temporary pin holding the correction. Considered when the toe rubs painfully in shoes or has developed calluses and sores.Plantar Fascia ReleaseThe tight band of tissue along the bottom of the foot is partially released to relieve stubborn heel pain. Reserved for cases that have not improved after months of stretching, orthotics, and other conservative treatment.Ankle ArthroscopyA small camera and instruments treat problems inside the ankle joint — impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage — through incisions a few millimeters wide, avoiding a larger open exposure.Ingrown Toenail RemovalThe edge of a nail growing into the surrounding skin is removed under local anesthesia. When the problem keeps recurring, the nail-forming tissue at that edge is also treated so it does not grow back.Foot Fracture RepairBroken bones in the foot are realigned and stabilized with hardware so they heal in position. Because the foot bears your full weight with every step, alignment matters more here than the small bone size suggests.

I’m had lasers surgery 12//2:6/25? Everything seem to go except for the fact that I was prescribed cephalexin / And Cippro I bought had a violent reaction . I stopped taking the antibiotics and my body seem to calm down. . One thing I would like to Bring to the surgery centers attention , From the time I walked in and was greeted from the receptionist to the nurses to the doctor. I have an impeccable Care. There was one incident that could have gone a lot better. When I was taking back into the operating room, there was two nurses, One was fumbling putting the oxygen mask on my face , It was not streaming. I tried to tell her I’m having a hard time breathing. The next thing I know she was saying to the other nurse, you might need to hold her arm . It was a scary situation. In my opinion, she could have had more compassion and empathy and listen to me more. It felt very claustrophobic. The next thing I know I was out like a light. I think she was Rushing And that shouldn’t be in the medical field. The patient should come first being calm and feeling your ease to go to sleep to have the procedure done should always be the Priority. The manager Tabitha was great in the recovery room. I think the stress should be spoken to, So that someone else doesn’t have to go through this. Sincerely, Deborah Carkonen 3/18/1958 Dr Honiker

Staff was friendly, addressed you by your name, place was tidy, constantly asked about pain and if I was comfortable and even gave me a warm blanket bc I was shivering from the iv bag. Check in was easy and quick and the staff even participated in my post anesthesia jokes (I asked the nurse if she was cheating on me because she said she had to check on another patient)😭

Both of my very small children have had surgery at the surgicenter. The staff from start to finish are absolutely amazing. Each and every one of them have a smile on their faces and are kind. The facility is very clean. They keep you updated throughout surgery through texting and on a TV screen in the waiting room. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

We were told to arrive at 6am, we didn’t get seen till 7pm and than met surgeon at about 8:00am, started right after that. I was expecting it to take about a hour as they said it could but the nurse who wasn’t very friendly we had at the end who was Emily, said it took about 30 minutes. Any question I had she seemed to have a little bit of an attitude by not paying me any mind, trying to ignore me, walking away and mumbling in the hallway to others or just staring at me like me talking or having a question about my child’s care annoyed her. Minimal she answered and most was she didn’t know or she completely walked off. Emily’s bedside manner was extremely poor especially at a vulnerable time. It seems she needs to work on her people skills if she’s going to be working with families or anyone in general with questions or concerns especially regarding a child having surgery. Parents asking questions shouldn’t annoy you because that’s 1000% how it came off like it wasn’t okay for me to ask a question. Also, I believe I could hear my child crying an hour or so before we were finally called back to see him an it was traumatic, especially for him and as he was in a lot of pain. I was not expecting him to be screaming an crying in pain immediately after waking up from general anesthesia. The surgeon -all was well and seemed to go rather quickly and explained well afterwards though was quick at first talk. Felt a little hurried at the beginning after we waited 2 hours. But I pray the care received went smoothly & well and not rushed. But highly dissatisfied with the mannerism of the last nurse Emily we received, she even turned her back and started with another patient while we were still there. An it was just towards me, she was okay towards my child and spoke to him decently while I was there. But I don’t understand the pain level he was in for a procedure like this for a small child immediately afterwards and how traumatic it ended up being for him and us. Or why we didn’t get a text when the procedure was done but did when it started and to go to a waiting room to speak to surgeon than to go to our child’s room, as we were going to walk to him we met the surgeon an were able to speak before seeing him, but how long was he there awake and scared an in pain an why weren’t we there for him to wake to or sooner after? An for Emily to say it just depends on the anesthesiologist you get an how much drugs they give you, varies. Due to me asking about how come he was the way he was an not more relaxed an sleepy. That concerned me a little.
