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.
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.
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.

I went in for hip replacement surgery yesterday and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff! When I first went in Katie at the front desk was kind and very welcoming then Vicky who took me back was so compassionate! I do have to say Kaitlyn was just incredible from the Time she gave the orientation I felt that she was going to help me with any questions I had and she went over everything so diligently making sure everything was correct and that I get all the right and proper medication! Then of course Bethany she was with me from the beginning before my surgery and after! Her professionalsm and genuine kindness was amazing and I really felt safe with her! I was a little nervous when I got up to walk and when I did the stairs but I looked over at her and she gave me a warm encouraging look letting me know I was safe and she was there! Julie from nova care was there as well and she was extremely supportive! Dr Stanfield was professional and positive! Again I cannot say enough nice things especially about Kaitlyn and Bethany! I truly hope they and all the nursing staff is appreciated because I don't think I could have gotten through yesterday without their amazing support! My husband and I are very appreciative! There are some people who just go about and beyond showing kindness professionalsm and making you feel safe! THANK YOU 🙏

I had a very positive experience with Dr Cotman. I found him knowledgeable down to earth & he spent time answering my questions. I felt reassured that he had done this surgery many times and was very comfortable with it. I tend to be very cynical and not trust doctors but I did not feel that way with him. I went in for a collar bone surgery, specifically getting a plate put in to reconnect the bone after a pretty serious break. Surgery went smooth, office visit was well beyond my expectations. Wait times were low, surgery was scheduled quickly. I am now a few days post op and I feel pretty good. No signs of infection & I am already feeling better. I got the impression from everyone I interacted with that they really knew how to do their job well. Nothing sketchy occurred at any time at all. I also found the employees at the surgery center to be very helpful as far as Thanks you guys for going above and beyond, becky went out of her way to help me After my surgery and I really appreciate it
