Procedures Performed

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

Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery)6
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.

Excellent! Dr. Stice is fantastic! Always a smile and guides you through what is going to happen next. The cataract surgery takes about 15 minutes, and you hardly know a surgery took place. Great work and I highly recommend Dr. Scott Stice!

On second eye it was even better. Receptionist was VERY kind and helpful. First time different receptionist indifferent but still did her job. Surgery is efficient and seems quick. I always felt like in good hands. My eye blurriness went away quickly and no pain or any problems. They will answer any and all questions and give verbal and written instructions to follow for complete and rapid recovery. I did NOT choose to pay large amount to correct astigmatism so still need glasses but night driving WAY better.

The admitting area was pleasant with Wi fi available. The person at the desk was helpful in explaining all the forms to fill out and helpful with questions. The prep nurse was very good and helpful answer questions and explaining what to expect in the cataract surgery. Met the doctor and the anesthesiologist. They explained the procedure and what to expect. All went well.

The receptionist/admittance lady at the front desk wasn’t friendly or welcoming in any way. Very cold, and clinical, which made my anxiety rise even higher. However, the doctor and the anesthesiologist were very kind and so great! The nurses were friendly, and made my stay very comfortable. They even brought me extra blankets to warm me because the room is very cool. Thanks to you all of you for making my surgery, a breeze!

I went in to have cataract surgery on my eye. The people there are very professional and pleasant. The surgery went very well and my vision in that eye improved drastically. I'm going in this week for surgery on my other eye and I'm very excited to have it done. It was my first time having any kind of surgery and they they made it very comfortable for me. If I could give them 10 Stars I would
