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.
Breast Augmentation / ReductionBreast size is increased by placing implants, or decreased by removing breast tissue and skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. Reduction is often performed to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight.RhinoplastySurgery that reshapes the nose by altering the bone and cartilage beneath the skin. It is performed to change appearance, to correct breathing problems caused by internal structure, or both. Swelling takes months to fully resolve.FaceliftLiposuctionFat is suctioned out from beneath the skin through small tubes called cannulas, reshaping a specific area such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. It targets localized deposits and is a contouring procedure rather than a method of weight loss.Wound ReconstructionRebuilds skin and underlying tissue where a wound is too large or too damaged to close directly. Surgeons move nearby tissue, or transfer skin and muscle from elsewhere on the body, to cover the defect. Often follows trauma, infection, or cancer removal.Skin GraftingHealthy skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to cover a wound or burn elsewhere. Both the graft site and the donor site need care, and the donor site is often the more uncomfortable of the two.

Would never recommend this place. Arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment only to see a lobby full of patients waiting. It was almost 2 hours before I saw Dr. Carlson for a total of 10 minutes. Everyone in the place was complaining about how they always have to wait and it sometimes consumes their entire day. Will never go back and would NEVER recommend!!

If I wasn’t recovering from conjunctivitis, I’d leave. As it is, I’ve waited 90 minutes past my appointment time and haven’t seen the doctor. Their portal sends you history forms to complete but they have to do it in office because it doesn’t upload. We’re in the waiting room and the techs are laughing and carrying on. This was my first visit and will be my last visit.

Our first appointment we were there 4 hours.. 4hours in itself is ridiculous, but with an autistic 4 year old even worse. The dr was irradiated that my son wouldn't cooperate again hes autistic.. The Dr should be able to handle that better. The next appt we waited an hour past our appointment and we walked out, it took another 40 minutes before I recieved a phone call asking where we were the dr was ready. Absolutely ridiculous, if I was an hour late for the appointment I would be charged and not seen. What about my time? Needless to say we will not be returning.

If you are looking for somewhere to go hang out for an entire day while waiting to see a doctor for less than 5 minutes this is the place. Anytime you make an appointment you will not be seen the first time for ATLEAST an hour, sometimes 2. Then finally you will get sent to a second waiting room to wait for another hour, sometimes 2…. The only response they have is “we are busy” Okay, I get it, why not make less appointments? Hire more doctors? Do SOMETHING to make things run more smoothly because having to take a full day off of work (which is very hard more most people to afford) to take our 5 year old to the eye doctor is beyond ridiculous. If we could switch to a different eye doctor we would. I’m writing this review at this time because my son’s eye doctor appointment was at 9:45 this morning, and my wife and son are currently STILL (at 11:10) still sitting in the main waiting room and have not been seen by anyone. I’m sure they will cancel your appointment if you are a few minutes late too, the only reason is they enjoy ruining an entire day. If I could give less than 1 star, I would.

I don’t normally leave reviews but the wait times are ridiculous! I went here for my two year old daughter to be seen we got there at 10:30. So many people were in the waiting room. There was no where to sit. We got called back and saw a nurse. Every one was nice! Then we left the room and were sat in another room. I sat in that room for 2 hours. Had I known this appointment would take all day I was have packed snacks for my daughter or scheduled for a better time but I was talk with another person and they said it took four hours their first visit. (That’s insane to me) so after waiting two and half hours to be seen I went to speak with the front desk and noticed patients that had been called way before me were still waiting and my daughter was screaming and upset so I decided just to leave. I would have scheduled this appointment well after her nap to to be prepared but either way 2 1/2 hours up to 4 hours to see a doctor is ridiculous. We will be finding another place to be seen
