Procedures Performed

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

Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery)6
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.
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.
Otolaryngology (ENT Surgery)6
Tonsillectomy / AdenoidectomyThe tonsils and sometimes the adenoids are removed for repeated infections or sleep-disordered breathing. Recovery is notably harder for adults than children, with significant throat pain for a week or more and a real emphasis on staying hydrated.Ear Tube PlacementTiny tubes are placed through the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear, most often for children with recurrent ear infections. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and the tubes usually fall out on their own within a year.Sinus Surgery (FESS)A camera and instruments passed through the nostrils open blocked sinus drainage pathways, with no external incisions. Considered for chronic sinusitis that has not improved with medication. Congestion often worsens briefly before it improves.SeptoplastyThe wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils is straightened to improve airflow through a blocked side. It addresses breathing rather than external appearance, though it is sometimes combined with cosmetic reshaping.Turbinate ReductionSwollen tissue inside the nose is shrunk to improve airflow, frequently at the same time as septoplasty. Often the difference between a nose that is structurally straight and one that actually feels open.LaryngoscopyA scope examines the voice box and vocal cords, used for persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or throat pain that has not resolved. Small lesions can sometimes be biopsied or removed during the same procedure.
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.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery6
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.
Podiatry (Foot & Ankle Surgery)6
Bunion Correction (Bunionectomy)The bony prominence at the base of the big toe is removed and the bone realigned, often with screws or plates. Recovery involves weeks in a protective shoe or boot, and swelling can persist for several months.Hammertoe CorrectionA toe permanently bent at the middle joint is straightened, sometimes with a temporary pin holding the correction. Considered when the toe rubs painfully in shoes or has developed calluses and sores.Plantar Fascia ReleaseThe tight band of tissue along the bottom of the foot is partially released to relieve stubborn heel pain. Reserved for cases that have not improved after months of stretching, orthotics, and other conservative treatment.Ankle ArthroscopyA small camera and instruments treat problems inside the ankle joint — impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage — through incisions a few millimeters wide, avoiding a larger open exposure.Ingrown Toenail RemovalThe edge of a nail growing into the surrounding skin is removed under local anesthesia. When the problem keeps recurring, the nail-forming tissue at that edge is also treated so it does not grow back.Foot Fracture RepairBroken bones in the foot are realigned and stabilized with hardware so they heal in position. Because the foot bears your full weight with every step, alignment matters more here than the small bone size suggests.

THEY AREN’T SAINT THOMAS! They get away with it by abbreviating Saint to St. - they do this on purpose cause they rent out the space in Saint Thomas West’s building! AVOID this horrible surgery center!!! Website looks like it’s from the early 90s! The link to the site is misleading as its actual Saint Thomas website! It’s nearly impossible to get your medical record from these people too. Half don’t speak English or Spanish and the other half aren’t people - they’re bots. Billing is also a mess. Surgery center is outdated too and looks like something from a low budget soap opera. They didn’t give me adequate pain meds prior to waking and I was in a massive amount of pain and all they cared about was wheeling me out for the next patient. I said how bad in pain I was and they said we can’t give you anymore acting as if I was faking it. All staff except for the doctor were fantastic btw. The actual hospital itself is what is horrible. Pre op nurses are nice but instructions need updated. They try to make you get completely naked except your underwear for surgery being done on your nose! That’s insane. I asked anesthesiologist and I kept pants on and sports bra. Completely topless and bottomless for a septoplasty is wild. Just avoid, avoid, avoid. Also why is ascension Saint Thomas community manager replying if they allegedly aren’t the same company and it’s why I can’t GET MY MEDICAL RECORDS?!!

I want to be clear when I say this: the clinical staff is top notch. I had no complaints with the surgery experience we had here. The BILLING DEPARTMENT, however…different story. I have been chasing a refund on an account here for 60 days. Called 4 times before I got to actually talk to a human and not a voicemail. Was told it was being mailed the next week…13 days later I still didn’t have it so I called back. Was left on hold the first time for 25 minutes without anyone answering (I asked for the specific person I spoke with before)..:had to call back and finally got her on the phone. Same story. They can’t help me because it comes from Texas. It’s been printed. All things that were said to be 10/3. So I filed a complaint on a form linked to surgicares website…got a call back from physician billing immediately. Advised her where it was for a she had no clue where to send it…so she made a best guess. Got a call this morning from an overseas call center and went around in circles for 10 minutes to find out that he can’t access anything to do with the facility. And I’d have to call them. You all were super fast to make sure I paid you $1000 before you’d solidify a surgery appointment…but you sure don’t want to give me my $400 back. I will be sharing this with the surgeon as well so she understands the financial strain your facility is putting on her patients.

My daughter recently had knee surgery here. Check in was smooth and staff were very polite. Nurses were professional and kind. Dr. Anderson with TOA is the absolute best, hands down. The nurses answered all of my questions without hesitation. The anesthesiologist walked my daughter through every step he was taking (she is 17) and answered all of her questions as well. The post op crew were so kind and made sure my daughter was going to be taken care of, even after hours. Couldn’t ask for a better team.

I had an epidural performed by Dr Scott Miller June 9, 2025. Check in was quick and easy. I was greeted by friendly, compassionate staff and saw Dr Miller right away. The procedure went very quickly with very little discomfort. This was my first experience with St Thomas Surgicare, and I was so pleasantly impressed.

The day of surgery we paid what we were told was the balance in full as self pay clients. We were happy with the results of the surgery itself which is the only reason they have two stars. But the billing department not only set up a auto draft we did not know about they also sent us another separate bill from the anesthesia which we were not informed about the day of surgery and when we called to ask why they never returned our call. When I called today the second time because they never returned my first call to get clarification on why they have taken an additional almost $2000 out of our account we were treated horribly by both women I talked to and they were very very rude. I will NEVER go back to them much less that hospital and I suggest if you are looking to have any procedures done you find another place to do it because of the hastle from their billing department if you are self pay.
