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.
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 had a great experience but was over-billed by nearly $700. Check your insurance claims.

Update: I wanted to mention that, in addition to the issues below, it turned out that they overbilled me. Not only did they demand the entire cost of the surgery upfront, but they overestimated it by $300. I had paid with my HSA account and had to go through the hassle of filling out an HSA form and getting the money back into that account so it wouldn't be labeled as an unqualified distribution. This company has no business making you pay thousands of dollars if they don't even know how much you will owe. This place's billing policies are an absolute joke. They gave me an original estimate of $1700 and then called me the DAY OF surgery to say it would actually be $2700. They made me pay upfront, rather than bill. It's now nearly three weeks past my surgery and they still haven't sent the bill to my insurance so that it will count against my deductible. For reference, both the doctor and the pathology bills have already been submitted and approved by my insurance. To be fair, medical costs are usually complicated and awful, but this place really is particularly shady and bad. It's too bad, because my doctor was great. I wish he was affiliated elsewhere.

My MRI looked the same after the surgery as it did before. I guess I would recommend lots of other opinions prior to surgery...internalist, neuro etc and try several physical therapists if one doesn't work for you. Do research on diet/posture/exercise for home too. You're promised you'll be feeling great in a few weeks and instead feel like you got hit by a car. Just my experience...good luck

The experience was fine, but there billing is screwed up. They called weeks before the surgery and told me my out of pocket expense would be $287.00. I also signed a paper the day of the surgery stating that would be my out of pocket expense. Today I get a bill for $606.70. I called them, and they said yes, that is what I owe. They said the paper I signed was just an estimate. They never talked before about anything being an estimate. I wouldn't of had the surgery if I had known this is what I was going to owe. If anyone goes to this place, please do you homework or they will rip you off! The charges for a 10 min surgery on my hand was $4,011.00, which is ridiculous. I think they are upset because my insurance company didn't pay them as much as they wanted, so they decided to come after me. Please be aware of this. They have no right to rip people off like this! I will never go back to this place.
