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.
ColonoscopyA flexible camera examines the full length of the colon to screen for cancer and remove polyps before they become cancerous. Done under sedation, it typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The bowel prep the day before is the part most patients find hardest.Upper Endoscopy (EGD)A thin camera passed through the mouth examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Used to investigate persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or abdominal pain. Usually takes 15 to 30 minutes under sedation.Flexible SigmoidoscopyExamines the lower portion of the colon only, rather than its full length. Preparation is lighter than a full colonoscopy and sedation is sometimes unnecessary, but it cannot detect problems higher in the colon.Capsule EndoscopyYou swallow a vitamin-sized camera that photographs the small intestine as it passes through — a region that standard scopes cannot easily reach. There is no sedation and no recovery. The capsule passes naturally, and images are reviewed after the fact.ERCPCombines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat blockages in the bile and pancreatic ducts, most often gallstones stuck in a duct. Unlike a routine endoscopy, it carries a meaningful risk of pancreatitis afterward, so it is used when treatment is likely rather than for screening alone.Hemorrhoid TreatmentShrinks or removes swollen veins in the rectum and anus using rubber band ligation, injection, or surgical removal depending on severity. Banding is quick and typically requires no anesthesia; surgical removal is more effective for advanced cases but recovery is noticeably more uncomfortable.

this place is crap. changing doctors is almost impossible cause they take the doctors side of why you want to change. I had a doctor tell my husband he had cancer cells in his blood but weren't worried about it. I cant even get a referral to any doctors cause i get told the dr. feels uncomfortable doing so cause i don't come in often yet when i had apts regular they kept rescheduling. So useless in the care they provide.

They were running a little behind so Dr Earhart came to the waiting room to get me himself and did my vitals to help with patient flow! Love him to pieces. He cares so much for his patients.

I have been going to WH for over 10 years. I never have to wait long. The doctors and PAs have always been awesome. All my doctors but one is with WH. I like that because they can easily see how all the other doctors and PAs are treating me.

I went in last week as I have been a patient there for seven years and it’s been documented in the records that I do not have any allergies. When I went in, I was not told what I was going to be given by prescription and when I got the prescriptions after I got home, I was unhappily surprised. The allergy medicines, nasal sprays, expectorant cough medicine could have all been purchased over-the-counter. Needless to say, I took those because I was not feeling well and my ears were hurting. Two days later, I couldn’t stand the earache and I emailed the doctor at the Urgent Care there who I’ve seen a couple of times. I won’t mention his name, but he prescribed me prednisone for the earache. I did not feel better. In fact, I felt worse. I decided to go to Star Medical as a walk-in because I had excruciating pain and my email that I had sent to Wilmington Medical telling them to prescribe me something was not responded to until that afternoon and they had asked that I go in again. By that time I had been prescribed strong antibiotics and a very good cough medicine by Star Medical. I actually felt better the next day and most importantly my earaches were gone! I think I am done with Wilmington Medical. In the past four years, two of my primary providers have retired or resigned. I think for now, I will stick to Star Medical because they really took care of me and despite the long wait, I was very happy with them. Wilmington Medical has to stop diagnosing their patients with allergies. I have been tested numerous times there and I have no allergies. I don’t like to overuse antibiotics and usually take care of my symptoms at home but when it’s an earache, that’s a different story. By the way, Wilmington Medical charged me twice as much as Star Medical. They are not worth the extra money. As a teacher for many years, I know that bad administration has driven away many good teachers. The same goes for a medical facility with bad management. I’m wondering if doctors are pressured to administer certain pharmacies drugs owned by big pharmaceutical companies, such as allergy medicines rather than curing the patients correctly. This is probably why there is such a big turnover of staff at Wilmington Medical. Treat your doctors and staff batter and allow them to diagnose their patients correctly and freely.

I just moved from out of state.. My very first visit. Excellent. Everyone was kind and very professional. 10/14/25 I wanted to add that I had a mammogram and lab work done today. My mammogram tech was excellent. Very kind and sweet and my lab tech was excellent. I’m usually a hard stick, but I didn’t feel a thing and she got it on the 1st try.
