Procedures Performed

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

Gastroenterology (GI Surgery)6
ColonoscopyA flexible camera examines the full length of the colon to screen for cancer and remove polyps before they become cancerous. Done under sedation, it typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The bowel prep the day before is the part most patients find hardest.Upper Endoscopy (EGD)A thin camera passed through the mouth examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Used to investigate persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or abdominal pain. Usually takes 15 to 30 minutes under sedation.Flexible SigmoidoscopyExamines the lower portion of the colon only, rather than its full length. Preparation is lighter than a full colonoscopy and sedation is sometimes unnecessary, but it cannot detect problems higher in the colon.Capsule EndoscopyYou swallow a vitamin-sized camera that photographs the small intestine as it passes through — a region that standard scopes cannot easily reach. There is no sedation and no recovery. The capsule passes naturally, and images are reviewed after the fact.ERCPCombines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat blockages in the bile and pancreatic ducts, most often gallstones stuck in a duct. Unlike a routine endoscopy, it carries a meaningful risk of pancreatitis afterward, so it is used when treatment is likely rather than for screening alone.Hemorrhoid TreatmentShrinks or removes swollen veins in the rectum and anus using rubber band ligation, injection, or surgical removal depending on severity. Banding is quick and typically requires no anesthesia; surgical removal is more effective for advanced cases but recovery is noticeably more uncomfortable.
Anesthesiology6
General AnesthesiaMedication renders you fully unconscious and unaware for the procedure, with an anesthesiologist managing your airway and monitoring you throughout. Used when you need to be completely still or the procedure is longer. Grogginess and nausea afterward are more pronounced than with lighter sedation.Regional Nerve BlocksA targeted injection of local anesthetic numbs a specific region such as an arm or leg while you remain awake or lightly sedated. The block often lasts for hours afterward, which helps post-op pain — but the numb limb needs protecting until sensation returns.Epidural InjectionsAnti-inflammatory medication is placed in the space around the spinal nerves to reduce pain radiating into an arm or leg. Relief may take several days to appear and duration varies widely, from weeks to months.Spinal AnesthesiaA single injection into the lower back numbs the body below roughly the waist while you stay awake or lightly sedated. Common for lower-extremity and some pelvic procedures. Sensation and movement return over a few hours.Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC)IV sedation leaves you relaxed, drowsy, and usually with no memory of the procedure, while you continue breathing on your own. Common for endoscopy and cataract surgery. Recovery is typically faster than after general anesthesia.Pain Management ProceduresA range of injections and minimally invasive treatments used to locate and reduce chronic pain. Many are diagnostic as well as therapeutic — the response to a targeted injection helps confirm which structure is generating the pain.
Sports Medicine6
ACL / MCL ReconstructionRebuilds torn knee ligaments using a graft. ACL tears generally require reconstruction to restore stability, while MCL injuries more often heal without surgery. Full return to sport takes months of rehabilitation, not weeks.Meniscus RepairTreats a tear in the cartilage that cushions the knee, either by stitching the tear or trimming the damaged portion. Repairing preserves more cushioning but requires a longer, more protected recovery than trimming does.Shoulder StabilizationTightens or reattaches stretched and torn tissue after repeated shoulder dislocations. Each dislocation causes further damage, so surgery is often recommended for younger, active patients rather than waiting for the pattern to continue.Tendon RepairReconnects a torn tendon so muscle can move bone again. Because tendons heal slowly and under tension, recovery involves a protected period of immobilization followed by gradual loading — rushing this stage risks re-rupture.PRP InjectionsA sample of your own blood is concentrated into platelet-rich plasma and injected into an injured tendon or joint to support healing. It is typically a same-day office or outpatient procedure. Evidence varies by condition, and insurance frequently does not cover it.Arthroscopic DebridementLoose cartilage, inflamed tissue, and debris are cleaned out of a joint through small incisions. It can relieve mechanical symptoms like catching or locking, though it is not a treatment for widespread arthritis on its own.

Absolutely wonderful is all I can say. Each person that I was in contact made me feel quite comfortable. The process and each step was explained before, during, and after. I will not call all of the employees names to maintain their privacy, but they all treated me well. I was so comfortable that I could have just stayed and slept. Thanks for your superior customer service.

I was pleased with my experience. I arrived early and checked in promptly. I was call to the back and seemed to be whisked into the operating room. Everyone introduced themselves and were very friendly. I was done and in recovery much sooner than I expected. I think I was in and out in 1½ hours. Would recommend to anyone needing their services.

The staff made me feel very comfortable and reassured me about the safety and care I would receive during my procedure. They were extremely supportive and helpful. Everyone including the front office staff, nurses, anesthesiologists, and the doctor, made my experience 100% better than expected. They all took very good care of me and for that I will forever be thankful!

The staff was awesome. Kayla greeted me and got my information. Reggie was a very sweet vein sticker. Kathleen did a great job knocking me out. Jaylen even tied my shoes after surgery was over. All were so friendly and professional. Recommended to all.

I arrived on time, a few minutes early. The instructions warned to be ready to wait an hour or so. I had about a 15 minute wait before I was called back. I’m sorry to say I don’t have the names of 2 of the most professional and engaging women I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. As they prepped me (completed the clinical side of paperwork and got me I.V. ready) their conversation was relaxing and informative. I’m going to put a pin right here and say that I don’t have one bruise from the I.V. Not one. I’m not even sore. She did an amazing job. I’ll cut cross field and say they all did. I appreciate how no one did anything to me without explaining what they were doing. When I asked a question I was given detailed answers. The discharge paperwork included most of what I asked but they didn’t brush me off. It would have been easy to do so. A wonderful experience from check-in to discharge.
