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 just completed a carpal tunnel surgery there last week and I have to say I was really impressed with the whole process. Dr. Bartholomew was wonderful but the entire staff was great as well. I was very well taken care of, provided for, and given a personal experience. I was nervous and the staff did amazing keeping me calm and distracted. It was just a really nice way to get a somewhat unpleasant thing done and I really felt cared for. Very professional and nice place

The staff at Columbia River Surgery Center is the best. From the Front office to Recovery, I experienced the best medical treatment I’ve ever had. This after 4 major surgeries. They were proactive and maintained a steady presence the entire process. Thank you!

My husband is set to have surgery within the next few days. He just got a phone call that he needs to pay $400 before his surgery. We have insurance, and he would not need this surgery had he not been in a car accident (not his fault) I find it interesting that they Mission Statement reads "To provide high quality, cost efficient ambulatory surgery services in a personalized and compassionate manner for the patients we serve." Where is the compassion if you are requiring someone to put a down payment on surgery? especially on a last minute FYI. This surgery was discussed months ago (in September of 2018) and to now be notified 6 days prior to surgery that you expect partial payment is ridiculous! Also, to say "if you don't have the funds you can apply for care credit" Yea because everyone is looking to get in more debt right? This place is greedy. UPDATE: My husband received his statement for his surgery towards the end of February. He called in multiple times to set up a payment plan. The billing person never answered the phone and if she returned the phone call it was at the end of her day with a message saying "I received your phone call, I'm heading out the door please call me tomorrow morning." My husband was calling first thing in the morning in hopes that someone would pick up so for her to call hours later was ridiculous. Literally 3 weeks after our first and only statement for facility charges, my husband received a letter stating that if he didn't call within 10 days to set up payment arraignments or pay the amount he was going to be sent to collections. He called two more times before he finally got a hold of a supervisor and paid off the bill on a credit card. This clinic has so much potential if only they handled their front desk/admin staff. The doctor and nurses were amazing! I literally just cannot stand this clinic solely based off our experience with their admin staff.

I had surgery here yesterday and one about six months ago and both times I was treated like a member of their family and made to feel welcome and comfortable. Special thanks to my awesome pre op nurses Shelby and Miranda who thought of everything I could need or want.. Kimberly my operating room nurse was so kind. Jamie my recovery nurse, both times, was amazing and so friendly. These people are the best at what they do. Your comfort is top priority here. R. Myers
