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.

KOC and all the doctors and staff who have provided service to me have been very informative, conscientious, and personable. I have been their patient while suffering with stress fractures, having surgery for one of them, and receiving treatment for severe osteoporosis.

Always a wait. ALWAYS. They do not respect your time, you're just a slot with money. I've been to multiple states for different care and this is the worst I've ever seen. The doctors might care, but they're clearly going for quantity over quality here. Avoid if you value your most precious commodity.

Hanna Maus, PA was absolutely fabulous. She went over all the details of the problem with my bones and the diagnosis of osteoporosis. She has a detailed plan to move forward with and I am so happy that I got referred to her. I feel I could not have found a better medical doctor to help me follow my journey of osteoporosis.

Physical therapy was great. Dr. Joshua Moss was a good surgeon but needs better bedside manners. Rushes his patients as if he wasn't getting paid for the visit. His assistant Asya wasn't outstanding!

I had an MRI done here. This is my first visit at this new location. The easy access to and from Alcoa Highway is great even with the construction. No time consuming black hole parking garages like they have at the hospital. They have lots of free parking at the building with easy access to the lobby. The people were friendly and eager to help me through the process.
