Procedures Performed

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

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.

Very long wait times. Told to arrive one hour before appointment, did not enter treatment room until 2 hours after appointment time so we’re 3 hours here at this point. Would not recommend.

I went in today August 27, 2025 for an epidural on my back and 2 pinched nerves. I had the most wonderful experience I have EVER had a hospital or surgery center. Dr. Kaplin was absolutely fenominal and so sweet and caring. Her nurse was fabulous as well. They made sure I didn't want or need anything. I would highly recommend this practice to ANYONE. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my experience superb!!! You guys are the BEST!!!❤️❤️❤️

I have been here four times under Doctor Dreskin's care, from the moment I come in when the nurse takes me under her care I feel completely taken care of, even extra warm blankets when i'm cold. It's pretty much 2 hours from start to finish which is pretty cool.These guys are great

When I paid at the front desk, I was told what I was paying was the only amount that would be due for them. What wasn't disclosed is that the CRNA for the facility would also be sending a bill as would the doctor who sent you there for the procedure. I know the latter part is not in this facility's control, but they should be upfront about the former! So you'll pay the day of your procedure to use Pain Surgery Center, then you get a bill 1-2 months later from Pain Surgery Center for the CRNA services. Mine was for $910. This lack of transparency is a problem that needs to be addressed. Also, they do not answer the phone. I left a couple of messages that were never returned. Be prepared to wait 1-2ish hours after your appt time for them to call you back. I'm not sure if they over schedule patients because they expect no-shows or just have bad time management skills, but it's annoying.

I went in today feeling a bit nervous since it had been years since i'd had a procedure while sedated. Everyone in the front and back were super welcoming and kind from start to finish. I felt very informed and safe under their care and would recommend anyone needing related procedures.
