Procedures Performed

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

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.

I call the office of Dr. Banowitz at 8:30 in the morning with a recurring problem I had 1 year ago… a soft tissue injury. I had to call back3 time’s trying to simply get a steroid. The receptionist was so non caring the I had tears in my eyes. I can’t move and she could not care less. I will be looking for a new doctor. It has been six hours and still no response

I love my PCP but it’s too big of a practice. If you want to make an appointment it takes about 30-40 minutes on hold to speak with someone. They don’t care about the patients needs- it’s about getting you in and out. I wish there were more family owned practices in our area.

Usually a Convenient Medical Office but I would like to know when doctors leave and my appointments have been cancelled so I don't show up for nothing.

My regular Doctor couldn't see me so 3 days later I got a appointment with a different Doctor. I told her the Onygen I was on was making me sleep. She talked to me like a child and said I think something else is going on with you and gave me a strep test when that came back negative her only other answer was a Covid test. They maxed out my deductible so I finally had enough and took charge of my health. I will never ever go back to that that place again. Waste time Money
