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.
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.
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.
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.

This place needs to do better with scheduling surgeries. We were here at 6:25am and found out when we got here the surgery wasn’t until 11:00am and my husband is diabetic this is unacceptable. They ARE NOT doing right by their patients. All we get when we say something about this is sorry but it is not sincere as it keeps happening over and over again.

I scheduled a colonoscopy over a month in advance with Dr. Snyder. His scheduler, Aiesha, was fantastic about staying in touch making sure we had instructions and information about preregistration with this surgery center. I received a handful of messages from the surgery center and a message regarding preregistration about 4 days before the scheduled appointment. I completed preregistration the day I received these messages. I then received a call from Aiesha indicating I would need cardiac clearance per the surgery center due to a response provided during preregistration. I attempted multiple times over the next 2 days to contact the surgery center to no avail. Calling the main number, choosing opt 5 resulted every time reaching a voicemail box that was full and couldn't accept any more messages. I did try another option 3 and left a voicemail there asking for someone to assist. No call backs, no emails, no messages in response from the surgery center. I also updated preregistration with more detail attempting to explain there were no cardiac issues and I had previously seen a cardiologist who referred me to a GI Dr a few years prior. If I can't communicate with anyone,I certainly don't want to even move forward. The surgery center has not communicated once regarding the requirement for cardiac clearance. The last message indicates no issues and to just show up. I am definitely done with this place and going elsewhere, especially considering we are hours away and cannot afford to cancel plans already made at the last minute. They've cost us time and money. Don't bother with this place.

Scheduled for routine colonoscopy. Arrived before 8 am. Had multiple discussions with staff prior to procedure day that i have needle trauma & my husband is present when they insert IV. They reassured me multiple times over multiple days that they had a plan & he could be there with me. Waiting room was overcrowded, only one restroom (not great when you have done colonoscopy prep) & staff seemed unhappy to be there. When they called me back & my husband was standing there with me, they claimed to know nothing about it & family was not allowed. We reminded them about the discussions & they put us in a consultation room. Anesthesiologist came to speak with us. She told us she had something better than the usual meds i took for anxiety & that when they were ready to insert IV my husband could come back. This is where things went sideways. After signing my life away, she gave me THREE mko. Likely one would have been more than sufficient. This is a powerful drug cocktail, especially when combined with propofol for actual procedure. After a few minutes i have no further memory of events, only tiny flashes of recall. At some point they asked me what juice i wanted & i couldn’t even say the word apple. They gave me crackers but i could not even pick them up & get them to my mouth. I was completely out until almost 10 pm. Im lucky i didn’t stop breathing. I also woke up with unexplained scratches in my groin area. I called surgery center & Dr. Cusick’s office to discuss. I hoped for explanation, maybe some empathy for my experience. Instead the surgery center just claimed everything was “normal” and “went fine”. Doctor’s office never responded to concerns. Surgery center also claimed to have no knowledge of how i would have injuries to my groin area. Supposedly the nurse did not help dress me. I was most definitely a fall risk & since i was unable to walk or talk i don’t believe i could put on my bra with 4 clasps in the back. I absolutely would not recommend this place to ANYONE.

The facility is subpar, waiting room is overcrowded and uncomfortable. Waiting time is currently 2 hours late. Excuse given is they are waiting on beds. Avoid if at all possible. Unfortunately the patient feels locked into carrying through with having their procedure done with no better available opinion. As far as filling out your form - why don’t you come and experience it yourself.

Was scheduled to be in at 7am. Arrived on time and put into a room at 7:45... the nurse strapped me up, inserted the iv and left. No one checked up on me the entire time between when the nurse left and my surgery. I sat there for almost FOUR HOURS with no updates, no check ins. I had to flag someone down to use the restrooms. Also the guy next to me had MRSA and I could hear the entire conversation between the nurses, the anesthesiologist and the patient. Would avoid this place if necessary.
