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.
Podiatry (Foot & Ankle Surgery)6
Bunion Correction (Bunionectomy)The bony prominence at the base of the big toe is removed and the bone realigned, often with screws or plates. Recovery involves weeks in a protective shoe or boot, and swelling can persist for several months.Hammertoe CorrectionA toe permanently bent at the middle joint is straightened, sometimes with a temporary pin holding the correction. Considered when the toe rubs painfully in shoes or has developed calluses and sores.Plantar Fascia ReleaseThe tight band of tissue along the bottom of the foot is partially released to relieve stubborn heel pain. Reserved for cases that have not improved after months of stretching, orthotics, and other conservative treatment.Ankle ArthroscopyA small camera and instruments treat problems inside the ankle joint — impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage — through incisions a few millimeters wide, avoiding a larger open exposure.Ingrown Toenail RemovalThe edge of a nail growing into the surrounding skin is removed under local anesthesia. When the problem keeps recurring, the nail-forming tissue at that edge is also treated so it does not grow back.Foot Fracture RepairBroken bones in the foot are realigned and stabilized with hardware so they heal in position. Because the foot bears your full weight with every step, alignment matters more here than the small bone size suggests.

I give a five thumbs up for Northwest Ohio orthopedics surgical center. Everyone was kind starting from the check-in process all the way through the anesthesiologist and the doctor performing the surgery. They were all very professional and supportive. Highly recommend Dr. Bruce Heck, my surgeon.

This is my second time at the surgery center for NWO. The first time was amazing just because of how I was treated by the personnel, which was a great experience. The surgery was a big success thank you. I was treated at the NWO surgery center for a second time to have pins removed from my toes that were replaced several months ago Dr Kimberly Smith did both operations and she is absolutely amazing. A great personality and a sharp witt. That doesn’t let her down. I have thoroughly enjoyed being in her care, for the surgeries. The teams that helped her in the center were excellent and things ran like clockwork. My think is directed to you all, and it couldn’t have been done without you… If I am in need for foot surgery again, I will certainly contact Mrs. Smith and her associates. Thanks again, David Dubocq

Had a total hip replacement Monday! The whole staff at the surgery center went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Dr. Nye is the best! Very good at his job and very personable. I would definitely come back to the surgery center!😊🤗

In June 2025 I had right hand carpel tunnel surgery that healed nicely and feeling is returning in my thumb and first 2 fingers. I didn’t want my left hand to go completely numb as my right hand had so on November 4, 2025 I had the same surgery done on the left hand. It is now 2 days since the surgery, so the healing has just started. As for the 2 surgeries it was the same experience in both. Dr Heck and the NWO team worked efficiently and flawlessly and I have recommended them to others.

I fell and broke both bones inmy arm and messed up the bones ibn my wrist, NWO got me in right away (THE NEXT DAY). Larry Rosenberger APRN-CNP , was very knowledgeable and personalable. they scheduled surgery for a few days later. Dr. Heck was very nice and spent quite a bit of time explaining everything that was going to happen in surgery. I have met with therapist Kendra since my surgery. She went over all the exercises and ways to bring down swelling with me. She was very likeable and proficient. She really knows her stuff! i have been following her advice and getting good results. Everyone that I have come into contact at NWO have been friendly and respectful. I would recommend NWO to everyone!
