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.

When you call to make an appointment or try request speaking with someone because they faxed the wrong prescription to the pharmacy you have to listen to a recording and leave a message. The recording states someone will return a call by 2pm the following business day. So far after 4 days no call backs. My wife is a patient of Dr Steven Poletti. He is a great doctor but his staff sucks in their duties. He needs better assistants. The institute has a whole has lost its human connection in communication and patient service.

Good Dr's, terrible customers service. I have called multiple times and sent in my medical release form to get my records released. I was told told they would sent them back to me by email. For records all they have is a voice mail you leave your information, no actual person to talk to. I have since left 4 messages trying to get these records and the new hospital here in AZ will not schedule me until the see my prior procedures. Before you go here try to find a place with better patient customer service.

This was my first visit to Southeastern Spine and my experience was very impressive. From sign in to all the staff was exceptional. All staff was very up beat, courteous and very eficiente . My visit with Dr Anderson was very informative and very easy to understand. I say all of this because this was a second opinion and I am so happy I found Southeastern.

The complete experience was wonderful. Very efficient in every phase of my visit. They make an appointment very easy and health care is over the roof. It's peace of mind that your pain will be assessed and eliminated. Thanks to Dr. Anderson for helping diagnose my problems and help me get better.

I was so impressed with how wonderful the staff is. Dr Levin was honest, caring and very helpful. He listened and asked many questions and took his time with me in making decisions for less invasive treatment, but ultimately let me make the final decision. Going to try meds instead of injections that ultimately haven’t worked. Highly recommend SSI.
