Procedures Performed

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

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.
Tonsillectomy / AdenoidectomyThe tonsils and sometimes the adenoids are removed for repeated infections or sleep-disordered breathing. Recovery is notably harder for adults than children, with significant throat pain for a week or more and a real emphasis on staying hydrated.Ear Tube PlacementTiny tubes are placed through the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear, most often for children with recurrent ear infections. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and the tubes usually fall out on their own within a year.Sinus Surgery (FESS)A camera and instruments passed through the nostrils open blocked sinus drainage pathways, with no external incisions. Considered for chronic sinusitis that has not improved with medication. Congestion often worsens briefly before it improves.SeptoplastyThe wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils is straightened to improve airflow through a blocked side. It addresses breathing rather than external appearance, though it is sometimes combined with cosmetic reshaping.Turbinate ReductionSwollen tissue inside the nose is shrunk to improve airflow, frequently at the same time as septoplasty. Often the difference between a nose that is structurally straight and one that actually feels open.LaryngoscopyA scope examines the voice box and vocal cords, used for persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or throat pain that has not resolved. Small lesions can sometimes be biopsied or removed during the same procedure.

I have been there three times to get injections, and all three times the staff and everyone is very nice, however, as far as being comfortable during the procedure, the anesthesias, refuses to provide enough comfort, and I’m in tears telling them that I am in pain And they do nothing. Whereas before, when the anesthesiologist talks to you, he assures you that he’s gonna keep you comfortable, and if if I’m in pain to let them know, well a lot of good that does because they don’t listen and they just let you cry and rise and pain. Incredibly frustrating. The first time they said, I had oxygen level issues, and I ended up going to the hospital for an entire work up, with them telling me my breathing was perfect perfectly normal and fine after all these cardiac test. Which was a waste of time and yet still the anesthesiologist refuses to provide any comfort for my procedure. I wish my pain management would find another place. went to millennium Surgery center, no issues with my blood pressure whatsoever. Finally, I was able to receive an injection without feeling any pain and for the first time in 10 years had two hours of pain relief. I don’t know what the heck is up with Upstate Surgery or their anesthesiologist they seem to think that people are there just to get high, which is really ridiculous and unethical practice I think somebody ought to look into this. I actually needed to have recovery time at millennium Surgery center, whereas Upstate Surgery, as soon as they brought me to the recovery room I was up and walking. It was ridiculous. I felt nothing absolutely nothing. I was still in pain and felt completely clearheaded and nothing absolute ridiculous waste of time. I don’t know what’s up with this place as I said, I think it needs some looking into.

Upstate Surgery Center is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by Porscha with a warm friendly greeting and check-in was seamless. Catherine was my RN that prepped me for surgery. Catherine is professional, friendly, and helped ease my anxiety as we both laughed over certain movie quotes. Belinda also has a great beside manner and made me feel like I was in good hands (which I knew I was). Dr. Andrew Hack with Southern Eye Associates is one of a kind. He geniunely cares about his patients and has been blessed with a God given talent! Thank you all for making my experience at Upstate Surgery Center a pleasant experience despite needing surgery.

Nice, clean and well lit area. While the doctors and surgical staff are great, the ladies at the front desk reception area could be friendlier, especially the darker haired lady with glasses. When she was asked a question about how to answer a question on the paperwork she sharply answered and acted like it was a bother to answer. Some public relations training definitely would come in handy.
