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.
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.

Greystone Eye of Hickory, NC handled my entire experience very professionally. I went for an eye exam resulting in needing cataract surgery for both eyes. Dr. Paschall was very patient in explaining the procedures, helping me understand the process. Everyone in his office and the surgical staff were professional as well as friendly. The offices and surgery center where very clean and well organized. They took excellent care of my needs every step of the way. I highly recommend Dr. Pascal along with his staff to anyone searching for eye care.

This office has the most wonderful staff I have ever had with all my health care experiences. Dr Brian Adair is the best doctor and explains things to you in a way that is easily understood. Tracy his assistant is great and very thorough. Many of my family members receive care at the office and I am so proud that they do. Thanks everyone for a great experience to continue for a long time.

They are very professional yet personable and super organized. I visited a new doc to the practice yesterday and absolutely adored her.. (Dr. Kayli Standridge)..she answered all of my silly questions like they were important to her too… I was extremely happy with my eye check up.. thanks for such a pleasant experience 👍🏼

Heather Day, DO is a magnificent doctor. She is very knowledgeable. She is caring about the patient and their needs. She makes one feel like they are the only person in the room. Dr Day is never hurried when she is examining someone and never makes them feel she has got to get to her next patient and doesn’t have time for them. She has a wonderful bedside manner. Dr. Day is very friendly and easy to talk to. She welcomes questions and takes time to ease any concerns. Dr. Heather Day’s smile, laughter and personality can light up any room. I have never liked going to a doctor appointment; however, I look forward to seeing Dr. Day.

Doctor was fantastic but his assistant was the worst. Absolutely ruined what was already a traumatic experience. This was an absolute shot show. She refused to be helpful, was condescending and basically rude. Seems like she cared more about getting us out than helping. This place has served 4 generations of my family but never again. Fantastic doctor but good lord, his staff was a horror.
