Procedures Performed

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

Cataract SurgeryThe clouded natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with a clear artificial one. It is one of the most common outpatient procedures performed in the country, usually takes under 30 minutes per eye, and is done under light sedation with numbing drops rather than general anesthesia.LASIK / Refractive SurgeryA laser reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, reducing dependence on glasses or contacts. The procedure itself takes minutes per eye. Vision is often noticeably better within a day, though it can take several weeks to fully stabilize.Glaucoma SurgeryCreates a new drainage path for fluid inside the eye to lower internal pressure. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve silently, so the goal is preventing further vision loss rather than restoring vision already lost. Several minimally invasive options are now performed in outpatient settings.Retinal SurgeryRepairs the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, most often for a detached or torn retina, or for bleeding related to diabetes. Timing matters — a detaching retina is treated urgently because delay increases the risk of permanent vision loss.Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)Removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. When drooping upper lids block part of the visual field, the procedure is functional rather than cosmetic and is often covered by insurance if visual field testing documents the obstruction.Corneal TransplantReplaces damaged or clouded corneal tissue with donor tissue. Modern techniques often replace only the affected layer rather than the full thickness, which shortens recovery. Vision improves gradually over months, and stitches may stay in place for a year or longer.

This billing department is so not right. I had surgery February 2024 and I am still getting a bill that my insurance company paid December 2024. I have reported them to Blue Cross Blue Shield and to the Ohio Board. I will see this through as I spent numerous hours communicating that they already received payment. If at all possible avoid this facility. Dr Priano is great but he needs to hire competent billers/coders.

I have had 2 shoulder and one knee surgery (today)at this surgical center and never had any negative experiences. Dr. Priano is very personable and cool. All employees have been excellent. A very clean facility. I highly recommend them. Thank you to everyone there!

Great bedside manner! All of them. I dealt with at least 8 different people, and they were all super friendly, and did their best to calm me down, to make sure I was comfortable. I woke up in a lot of pain, and they did everything they could to take care of it. I felt cared for, even though I was only there for a couple of hours.

I had my left knee scoped the procedure was relatively fast. Facility was super clean. Even though there was multiple patience the staff made it feel more like one on one care. Staff are kind, courteous, and caring. They are quick with your wants/needs.

I had a partial knee replacement in Jan 2017 and just had my other knee scoped. This is a very modern, clean facility convenient to route 33. The staff are all professionals and very friendly. I have the highest regard for the doctors and staff here. Excellent care and aftercare. My knee replacement was done as an outpatient and I was able to walk out the door 4 hours later. They are a very caring group.
