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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
ColonoscopyA flexible camera examines the full length of the colon to screen for cancer and remove polyps before they become cancerous. Done under sedation, it typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The bowel prep the day before is the part most patients find hardest.Upper Endoscopy (EGD)A thin camera passed through the mouth examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Used to investigate persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or abdominal pain. Usually takes 15 to 30 minutes under sedation.Flexible SigmoidoscopyExamines the lower portion of the colon only, rather than its full length. Preparation is lighter than a full colonoscopy and sedation is sometimes unnecessary, but it cannot detect problems higher in the colon.Capsule EndoscopyYou swallow a vitamin-sized camera that photographs the small intestine as it passes through โ€” a region that standard scopes cannot easily reach. There is no sedation and no recovery. The capsule passes naturally, and images are reviewed after the fact.ERCPCombines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat blockages in the bile and pancreatic ducts, most often gallstones stuck in a duct. Unlike a routine endoscopy, it carries a meaningful risk of pancreatitis afterward, so it is used when treatment is likely rather than for screening alone.Hemorrhoid TreatmentShrinks or removes swollen veins in the rectum and anus using rubber band ligation, injection, or surgical removal depending on severity. Banding is quick and typically requires no anesthesia; surgical removal is more effective for advanced cases but recovery is noticeably more uncomfortable.
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 โ€” impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage โ€” 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 had a very disappointing time with Dr Oliver at the end of my appointment I was advised I had to pay 55.00$$to get my contact lens script they are holding it hostage from me I called everyone I could think of to rectify this situation no luck I'm on Medicaid and Medicare for a reason I have no money I was informed I should of been told this prior to my appointment what Cleveland clinics policy was I wasn't informed of this therefore they made a mistake the receptionist who waited on me should be paying it or reprimanded needless to say I'm stuck no glasses no contacts very upset here in glenmont

I never expected such terrible care from Cleveland Clinic. My first video call with the Endocrinologist was at the end of April. For my next appointment on May 7th- they insisted for it to be an in-person visit (which they knew was a 4 hr round trip for me). This resulted in major frustration when I arrived for my appointment only to discover that my lab results were inconclusive and that I needed to do additional testing at home. I called several times to check on results after waiting a week at a time. There were no expectations set on when I would discuss results with the dr- which I never did, because it was a nurse I spoke to every time. They were not trying to hide their displeasure of my check ins, but for me- when I feel terrible and they are not in a rush to communicate- then yes, I will reach out to ask questions. I finally gave up on a call back or message from the doctor to discuss my results and next steps. My last appointment was set for June 19th- another video call. I finally spoke with the Endocrinologist, only for her to inform me that everything looked normal and no further care was necessary. So, really they could have just called me or messaged me a month and a half ago and not wasted my time and energy worrying- not to mention billing my insurance for another unnecessary appointment.

My wife & I had colonoscopy at this facility & my experience was beyond exceptional . It was truly a world class treatment starting with Ida up front to the nursing staff Kaelyne , Karrie , Kayla , Crystal Gwen and of course Dr. Linda Wang . As busy as they are probably 7 such procedures a day they made us feel we were the only ones there that day . I am sure CCF realizes how lucky they are to have an awesome team in Wooster !

This facility is a wonderful place, the staff is professional and very caring. I was treated for 16 months for my CLL, and they constantly went above and beyond to make my treatment the best it could be. I continue to get blood tests, treatments and xrays at this facility and over the past 4 years I have never been disappointed with the care from the staff there. Only place I will go for my treatments, they always exceed my expectations.

Came in with MY WIFE who is pregnant with OUR BABY and they wouldnt let me go back with her for the appointment because of covid. Really? I dont have the right to hear firsthand the status of the pregnancy? Oh, but they'll let me go back with her if they do an ultrasound. That makes a lot of sense. Because obviously I can't spread germs during an ultrasound. Im perfectly healthy mind you, its just their "no visitor" policy. I'm sick of places keeping families apart when they really need to be together. Cleveland Clinic, will you step up and do what you know is right?
