Procedures Performed

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

General Surgery6
Hernia RepairTissue pushing through a weak spot in the abdominal wall is returned to place and the defect reinforced, usually with mesh. Hernias do not resolve on their own and gradually enlarge, so repair is typically recommended once symptoms appear.Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy)The gallbladder is removed through several small incisions, most often because gallstones are causing pain after meals. Digestion continues normally without it, though some people find fatty foods harder to tolerate for a period afterward.AppendectomyThe inflamed appendix is removed, usually laparoscopically and usually urgently, since a ruptured appendix is considerably more dangerous than an intact one. Recovery from an uncomplicated case is typically a week or two.HemorrhoidectomySurgical removal of severe hemorrhoids that have not responded to banding or other office treatments. It is the most effective option and also the most uncomfortable — expect a recovery of a couple of weeks.Skin Lesion RemovalA concerning or bothersome growth is cut away, usually under local anesthesia, and typically sent for pathology to confirm whether it is benign. The visit is short and most people return to normal activity the same day.Laparoscopic ProceduresSurgery performed through several small incisions using a camera and long instruments rather than one large opening. Compared with open surgery this generally means less pain, smaller scars, and a faster return to normal activity.
Urology6
CystoscopyA thin camera passed through the urethra examines the bladder lining. Used to investigate blood in the urine, recurrent infections, or urinary difficulty. The procedure takes only a few minutes and is often done with numbing gel rather than sedation.Kidney Stone Treatment (Lithotripsy)Shock waves break a kidney stone into fragments small enough to pass in the urine. No incision is required. Passing the fragments over the following days can still be uncomfortable, and a temporary stent is sometimes placed to keep the ureter open.Transurethral ResectionTissue is removed through the urethra using a scope, with no external incision — most commonly to relieve urinary obstruction from an enlarged prostate, or to remove bladder tumors. A catheter typically stays in place briefly afterward.VasectomyCircumcisionProstate ProceduresA group of treatments addressing an enlarged prostate blocking urine flow, ranging from steam and implant techniques to tissue removal. Options differ meaningfully in recovery time and in their effect on sexual function — worth discussing specifically.

Edit: I received a call back from Harry. Very nice gentleman to deal with! Was understanding and apologetic! I truly believe he will fix some of the issues I had stated and won’t be a problem for others. I have my appointment rescheduled. Thanks Harry! If I could put a zero I would! Scheduled my procedure month and half out. Lady called me 2.5 weeks before procedure telling me I had to pay over $1900 that day and if I didn’t they would cancel my appointment! Who does that! They canceled it because I refused to pay for a procedure that wasn’t happening for another 2 weeks. I have no problem paying the day of before the procedure.

Awful experience. I used this facility for a vasectomy. The procedure was brutal. I was screaming in pain because the medication wasn’t working, but the doctor still continued. I had to order an uber home from surgery because I wasn’t told I needed a ride. I was told that dissolving stitches were used, but this was not the case. I had to remove the stitches myself when they didn’t dissolve after a month. I had pain for 4 weeks after the surgery, and I’m still experiencing discomfort more than 4 months later. I recently went back to have them check on my discomfort, and I was told that this type of lingering pain is not uncommon after a vasectomy. I was not told this before the procedure. Avoid these doctors at all costs lest they maim your body and leave you with permanent damage.

I had a good procedure done for a vasectomy today but just realized that I believe they let me go without any gauze or ointment.
