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.
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.
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.

Was not called back for over an hour after scheduled surgery time.Waiting room was so small family members were asked to wait in the car, which my husband did for about 2 hrs in September heat. Once called back everything was so efficient and great. Dr Shoukfey is amazing along with back room, surgical team. Need larger waiting room at surgery center, as every patient is required to have someone drive them home.

My husband has been going To Dr khater for 4 or more years and over the years, the service has gotten really bad in the front..All they do is sit and talk to each other. And don't do what they're supposed to do I have called several times and every time I call nobody answers the phone .now they have automated phone and they still don't answer . I guess I'm not the only one that has this problems according to the reviews 😕 all I wanted to get is a prescription filled for my husband..

It seems like the office staff needs more training. Last year I told them my daughter wanted contacts. Come to find out when we went to the appt. with Dr.Sherman who we had been to before, he doesn't do contact exams and that we would have to get the exam done at the eyeglass place which of course you're going to have to pay for. We did have to end up paying for another exam somewhere else. This is not cool when you're on medicaid. Never heard of an eye doctor that doesn't do contact exams. So basically the exam was useless since she wanted contacts.This year I forgot and rebooked with them. They booked our appointment in an "established patient slot" instead of a "yearly exam slot" and called me the afternoon before when I I couldn't get the phone call since I was back at work and they were closed when I got off. I had already taken off work for the next day- 2 weeks ago. They had to move my kids two appointments. They just book you whenever without even talking to you 1st like you can just take off whenever you want to work around them. To me if they messed up, they should just work around it.The girl on the phone did not say sorry. I will find another place.

Communication - poor Front end staff - rude Scheduling - abysmal Process - nightmare Hospitality - non-existent Wait time - exponential Phone etiquette - impolite Staff training - hypothetical The doctors - wonderful Marie - very helpful Update: Amending my review to 4 stars as Dr. Khater is very open to feedback and did an exceptional job with the PRK. It was a rough start for sure…but there are some notable mentions of superior performance by Rhea, Natalie, Amie and Monika. The front desk is the worst of it all…Beyond their inability to show any form of empathy, everyone else seems to be pretty great and we are fairly happy with the service we received and their openness to feedback for improvement is very notable. I hope they improve their processes for the future clients and I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone.

I just began seeing Dr. Faith early this year 2022, his office staff is excellent very professional and expeditious. Dr. faith has been very thorough in explaining the diagnosis of my eye situation I’m very candid about the positive outcome. He’s already performed once cataract surgery And now I’m on my second surgery of a cornea transplant. I’m very pleased with his treatment of my eyes and his positive reinforcement of good outcomes. I couldn’t have asked for a more positive and considerate treatment from this doctor. In my opinion he’s the best doctor I’ve ever known.
