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.
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.
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.
HysteroscopyA slim camera passed through the cervix examines the inside of the uterus, and can remove polyps or fibroids in the same visit. No abdominal incision is involved. Cramping for a day or two afterward is normal.LaparoscopyA camera and instruments are inserted through small abdominal incisions, allowing diagnosis and treatment without a large open incision. Used for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and pelvic pain, with recovery measured in days rather than weeks.D&C (Dilation and Curettage)The cervix is dilated and the uterine lining removed, for heavy bleeding, after a miscarriage, or to obtain tissue for diagnosis. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes and most people return to normal activity within a day or two.Tubal LigationThe fallopian tubes are sealed, cut, or removed to provide permanent contraception. It should be considered irreversible — reversal is not reliably successful, so it is intended for people certain they do not want future pregnancy.Endometrial AblationThe uterine lining is destroyed to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding, offering an alternative to hysterectomy. It is not a contraceptive, and it is only appropriate for those who have completed childbearing.Ovarian Cyst RemovalA persistent, enlarging, or painful ovarian cyst is removed, usually laparoscopically. Surgeons generally aim to remove the cyst while preserving the ovary itself, particularly for patients who may want future pregnancy.
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.
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.

I chose Park Central because I serve the facility & work with the staff weekly as the surgery centers consultant pharmacist. The care that I received from Aaron, Gloria, Jazmine, Lauren, Stephanie & Will was over-the-top. Their dedication to excellent patient care is to be applauded. Very well done! Thank you very much.

I had a scheduled surgery today with Dr. Malone’s office that required me to take medicine the day prior. My pharmacist never received the prescription and when we had scheduled phone appointments prior to the scheduled surgery, they either missed the time or had me on hold for 15min. One time someone did apologize for missing the appointment but by that time it was too late. I canceled the surgery because the team was unprofessional and did not care or respect a patient time. How do you not send over the required prescription for the scheduled surgery? Today was a waste of PTO.

Anyone remember the Seinfeld episode featuring the car rental place "taking reservations"? Yeah, this is the same here. My mother had a surgery "scheduled" that was changed I believe 3 times. The last being a few days before just adjusting the time from 3pm to 2pm. Was her surgery done at 2pm you ask? No, it was done at 3pm of course, you know, the original time. Is it greed or incompetence that created this situation? I would really like to know. If you can go elsewhere, I would. Or be prepared to be very flexible with your time. She was also asked some basic medical questions in an open area with other patients (who received the same questioning). Should that not be done in a private?

NEVER!!!NEVER!!! would I use this facility again!!! only because the people upfront was HORRIBLE I had my 1st eye surgery 6/23 & paid $500 before my surgery & made arrangements for balance of $680 on 7/23. 2nd eye surgery 7/14 & told them I could pay 1/2 of $730on 7/14& 1/2 in two weeks. They would not work with even they would be getting $680 on 7/23. I had to pay all of the $730 today or no surgery!!!! I am a widow one income it was not like I was asking for long term arrangements!!!! So I see @ this facility MONEY not people is important. The nurse & other staff was great. Get rid of people up front.

Do not use this facility. My 5 year old son was supposed to have dental work done here under general anesthesia. They called to change our appointment time 3 times, the third time they called at 10am the day of the surgery when our original appointment was at 1pm, they asked if we could make it by 12, to which I said we would try our best. I called back stuck in traffic (we live 45 minutes from this location) to let them know I was running late, she asked me if I wanted to reschedule, which I said no to, we had already starved my son and I was on my way. She told me that as long as we were within 15 minutes of our appointment time, all was well. I then called our dental office who referred us to this surgery center, and asked them to verify this was fine, because the woman at the surgery center asked me if I wanted to reschedule atleast 6 times, and I didnt have much faith in her. My dental office confirmed it wouldn't be an issue. So on I went to our appointment.. My 5 year old was NPO (no food/drink since 12am the night before) we arrive, less than 10 minutes late, and the lady the front desk begins to sign in my 5 year old, arm band and all, when a women from the back runs to the front saying "is this the pedi patient? She canceled!" Very rudely. I explained I never canceled, and explained that I spoke to 2 different people prior to driving the 45 minutes. They both had a blank stare, neither would take responsibility. One saying "I've been at lunch" and the other "I dont know who you spoke to" They both go to the back, without explanation, And begin whispering. Next I know they have the dental office call me while I'm still standing at the front desk to tell me that the surgery center had canceled my appointment, under my request and there was no anesthesiologist to work on my son, Who by this point is in tears starving. They told me because I "canceled" the anesthesiologist had gone home. I called the dental office back to reschedule, who told me this has happened more than once, and they were sorry the surgery center was making them look bad. They were very apologetic, They then asked for the name of the person I spoke to at the surgery center, which I didnt catch, and I had already left. So I call the surgery center back, and ask for the name of the person I spoke to, and they have the nerve to tell me that I was basically lying about speaking to anyone, that the person I spoke to told me the first time I called that i wasnt to come, and that i was canceled because I couldn't make it by 12. (Lie) and that it was my own fault I drove there anyway. They flat refused to give me any names, or let me speak to a supervisor. I have never been treated this poorly and I cannot believe my son had to starve for his surgery that didnt happen, let alone the 45 minute drive and hiring a babysitter for my other 3 children for me to take him in the first place. If they had truly told me I was canceled, why in the world would I drive 45 minutes there anyway? Karma will come back to them.
