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.
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.

Cataract removal surgeries was AMAZING! It was fast, painless and every encounter with staff from reception to surgeon was extremely professional and courteous. They relaxed and reassured you before you were even given the anesthesia. Great experience! They are too notch.

I’m able to see again without glasses. I have been wearing glasses for 45 years and since having the surgery for cataracts I’ve been able to see to read and distance again without any issues. I highly recommend the team at Dr.Solomons office for your eye care and cataract removal surgery. The whole process is painless and you will be able to see better immediately. Don’t wait until it’s too late get your eyes checked and call them.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Soloman's surgery. Everyone had an assignment to help me as soon as I walked in. After catatact surgery I can see better than I can remember. Dr. Solomon and the anesthesiologist encouraged me throughout the entire surgery and I felt very confident with their expertise. Very thankful today.

Professional, competent, courteous and caring. A wonderful place to trust all of your eye care needs too. My wife and I have both had cataract surgery on each eye in the past two months. That's 4 separate surgeries with multiple pre-op and post-op visits and insurance claims handled... all flawlessly! Vision improvement is life changing.

The nurses and technicians were great. Very supportive and it went like clockwork. I'm glad my doctor uses them as a surgical center.... My only suggestion or comment would be for most of the clients who are very elderly like myself. They may not have an escort to get their eyes corrected. I would think that Uber would be an alternative or maybe this other resources they could make available or point you at so that people who don't have family members to drive them could still get the surgery done
