Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

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.
Interventional Pain Management6
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.

My son is in constant pain and no one is taking it seriously. I asked about a nerve block shot which I thought he was getting but come to find out the day of its a steroid shot and it made him WORSE! The doctor who I have yet to meet didn't have a clear MRI reading and still gave him the shots anyways. didnt even give my son doctors notes for school and we were told to just go to children's.

Had a wonderful experience here getting help with my arthritis in my knees. All the staff were friendly and helpful ( I’m sorry I don’t know X-ray or brace fitter ladies names), but everyone especially Kristina who went the extra mile to email some exercises were awesome. Nurse practitioner Luke & Doctor Chaudhary took time reviewing my issues. I felt heard and that they cared and wanted to help me feel better. They answered all of my questions and offered honest advice. Thank you for providing excellent care!

These people do not value you or your time. After running 2.5 hours late on multiple occasions after telling me there’s no one ahead of me and my appointment, they just don’t care. Better hope you have no other responsibilities on the day you decide to come here. Just go to Mayfield, these guys aren’t the only ones in town.

While I’ve been happy with the doctor we’ve seen at Beacon Orthopedic, the overall experience has been incredibly frustrating due to their communication system. Everything goes through a centralized call center, and it’s nearly impossible to get in direct contact with the office. I’ve had ongoing issues since August 2024, and despite multiple attempts to get messages relayed, I rarely—if ever—get a call back. Just this morning, I had yet another issue. The doctor called in a prescription for my injured son 8:30AM, but when I checked with our pharmacy, (4:00PM) they hadn’t received anything. I tried to follow up, but again, I had to go through the call center. I waited on hold for over 20 minutes, only to be told they could “send a message to the office.” That system has never worked for me—I’ve never had a message returned. I insisted on holding while they contacted a manager or someone who could actually help, but the lack of urgency and accountability was maddening. The office closed in 30 minutes at this point, and I needed someone to actually correct whatever the issue was on the prescription before they left of the day. I then got dropped into a random persons Voicemail. No idea if it was the office, or the manager at the call center. At this point, regardless of how much we like the doctor, I think it’s time to switch to Children’s Hospital so my son can get the level of care he deserves. Good medical care requires good communication, and Beacon Orthopedic’s system is simply not working. EDIT IN RESPONSE TO BEACON'S QUESTIONS - I've provided my feedback to the call center. Feel free to look at any of the documentation. Certainly you must monitor that feedback. And take action on it? I have given feedback NUMEROUS Times. I even have mentioned my frustration to people in the office and MRI center. There response was "We get more complaints about the call center than anything else" so my feedback should not be new to you. Stop wasting my time asking me to email my issues once again - and investigate and correct the issues.

Beacon's doctors have been saints in my eyes for their extreme dedication to their job. Dr. Miller, Dr. McClung and Dr. Kruier have done a great job after I was hit by a F150 at my job and then the worker put in gear and ran over my foot..2 hits. I am so happy I chose The Beacon team of doctors when this accident happened. I heard some other large firms treat you like an assembly line patient. I know I will never be the person I was before the accident but they have done fantastic for what little the workers comp has permitted so far. I often wonder what amazing results may have happened by this team if workers comp would have permitted treatments quickly after the accident without constant delays. I highly recommend them for orthapedic care, including the physical therapy recommendations. One thing is they use the newest techniques to treat the problem first before going into surgery. The staff is super friendly and knowledgable. 🌠🌠🌠
