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.

The doctor is very cordial and caring. My nurse was very good. (I'm a hard stick)The facility on Tyner Rd is very nice and clean. I got an epidural on my back. My only complaint was the anthiolgist didnt think I needed nausea meds since it was a mild sedation when I told her I get sick easy and needed it. I was very sick on my way home. I called and made sure it would be on my chart for future reference.

Dr. Miller performed surgery on my right knee in 2021. He explained the procedure completely and listened to and answered all of my questions and concerns thoroughly. Before surgery the day of, he asked if he could pray for us. I said yes. Very impressed. My full recovery time was less than expected. He did such a great job, that when I needed surgery on my right shoulder for an old injury, I went back to him. It’s Thursday morning, 2 days after surgery, and so far all is well. Pain is minimal. Follow up is a few days out, but I expect a full recovery as I had with my knee. Thank you, Dr. Miller! You’re a great surgeon and man.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Surgeon with Excellent Bedside Manner Dr. Chad Smalley performed my ACL and meniscus surgery, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care I received. From the initial consultation through surgery and recovery, he was knowledgeable, confident, and incredibly reassuring. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. The surgery itself went extremely well, and my recovery has been smooth thanks to his skill and attention to detail. What really sets Dr. Smalley apart is his bedside manner—he’s compassionate, patient, and genuinely cares about his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Smalley to anyone needing knee surgery or orthopedic care. I’m thankful to be back on the road to full recovery because of his excellent work.

From the first visit with Dr. Miller and the staff at CSMO I have had nothing but a great experience. He answered all questions, gave me all possible outcomes and treatment options. I feel that I am in very capable hands and choose the best doctor for my injury in the Chattanooga area. It said a lot about not only the physician but the man he is that he asked to pray with me and for me prior to the surgery. The nurses especially Ashley in recovery were exceptional. The Anesthesiologist was excellent. He explained everything and was very caring and patient. I would highly recommend not just Dr. Miller but the entire staff at CSMO.
