Procedures Performed

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

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.
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.

Clinical staff is very courteous and competent. Front staff: different story. Very disorganized and indifferent. Building is half the size that it needs to be. Waiting area is insufficient and parking lot is very limited.

Terrible experience. BEGGED for a blanket, starting in OR. Burned my hand with anesthesia - NEVER had that happen before. Lack of concern for patients is astounding. Will never go back.

Wait time is ridiculous. Whoever makes the schedule needs to realize that not everything is about profit. They, along with the physicians, need to consider the patients who have been fasting for almost 48hrs like myself and their staff who are overly worked with the patient workload. There’s no reason why patients should have to wait hours for their procedure past their appointment set time. My appointment was set for 12:30, I arrived promptly at 12:25pm and was not taken into pre-op until 3:20pm not to mention waiting another hour during pre-op. Procedure timeout was at 4:48pm. That is completely unacceptable. Where’s the empathy? Two other gentlemen had been waiting for 2+ hours as well. Although staff in pre-op and post-op were nice and attentive, this is first and last time I’ll ever go to this place for a procedure.

Got in right on time for my scheduled colonoscopy at 7:30 A.M. Checked in and filled out all the forms and was called in around 15 minutes later by a very friendly and courteous male nurse. Impressed how all the nurses and aids introduced themselves and did everything to keep me relaxed and at ease. About 20 minutes later, I was taken into the treatment room. The doctor came in and performed the procedure and woke up around 25 minutes later in the recovery room. Highly recommend this facility, friendly and professional staff!

If I could give one star I would. I went and had a service back in October. They didn’t do the pre-authorization so they made me pay deductible After fasting and not taking medication, I needed it. I felt trapped either pay it or don’t do the Procedure.l I’ve been fighting since then to get my money back. They said they never received it my insurance sent over proof of payment they’re telling me That. Maybe it got posted to a different account. This is just ridiculous. I will never ever recommend this place to anyone. They are rude. They hang up on you and they have no compassion. Wish I would have read the reviews first would have saved me some stress.
