Procedures Performed

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

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.
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.

I had a good experience here. The nursing staff was very friendly and I felt like they took good care of me. No complaints at all on that end. The admin and front desk staff however are not up to par. I got a call the week before with my arrival time. The day before I get another call saying I was pushed back 2 hours due to a cancellation. Being pushed for a cancellation doesn’t make sense to me but whatever. Then day of I get a call just before my original time saying they were ready early and to come whenever I could. I get there, check in and wait. And wait. I had a herniated disc that made sitting excruciating so I was standing and pacing around the waiting room. I figured since they wanted us early we’d go back as soon as we got there. After 40 mins of waiting I ask someone at the desk. After another 10 mins of nothing someone finally came out and told us that I would actually be at my original time and they were late so it would be another hour. So we went on a walk for a bit, got back about 30 mins before they said to. Luckily I was called back just a few mins after arriving again. Waited in the back for another hour. It was almost 4 hours from arrival to going into surgery. While I’m in the OR, my wife is over hearing the front desk talking about me. They commented on my confusion about being pushing back due to a cancellation, my pacing in the room, they said I seemed very anxious and kept walking past the desk. Partly correct, I did think it would be quick, but I couldn’t sit at all so I was just walking. It feels very unprofessional to make such comments at all, let alone loudly enough that anyone in the waiting room can hear it.

We were over charged $400.00. Tried multiple times to fix the issue. Tried to blame it on a new billing process/company! Bunch of BS!!! Do NOT go here!

They failed to send me a bill for 18 months after the surgery and then threatened to send me to collections immediately. They blamed it on changing billing services. When I asked for evidence of notices sent they did not provide anything to me. When I asked them to send me record of what they had me paying so I could verify it against my records, they did not do so.

I'm surprised by the ratings for this surgical center. I just had plastic surgery yesterday. From the time I arrived to the time I left, they were ALL fantastic. The receptionist was so kind, she could tell I was nervous, and she calmed me right down. When I went back to pre-op, the lady who put in my IV was SO KIND, and i began to relax even more. The anesthesiologist was one of the best I've had. He explained EVERYTHING and answered every question. In the OR, I told him to please let me know everything you're doing and let me know before you start putting in the medication, and he did. He said, "I'm putting on your blood pressure cuff now, I'm putting this on your finger for your heart rate, and now we're ready to put in the medication. Are you ready?" I said "Let me take a few deep breathes, he said "Take your time, I'm right here with you, he grabbed my hand which was so kind and calming, and I said "OK, I'm ready" and I was out. He was EXCEPTIONAL. After surgery, I hadn't slept the night before because I had to be there at 5 a.m., and I was exhausted. I was out of surgery by 1 p.m. It was a 7 hour surgery, and they allowed me to sleep and wake up on my own. Which wasn't until 5:00 p.m. Once I was awake, they helped me every step of the way to get dressed, SO KIND, sweet, attentive. I've had several surgeries over the years, and this BY FAR was the best experience I've had. Every person I spoke to was calming, kind, and just incredible. Cannot recommend this place enough!!!

I had such a great experience here. The staff are all really friendly (and funny!) and keep it light-hearted, they do their absolute best to make you feel at ease and answer all of your questions. I felt like I got in and out quick too, which is always a plus. There’s not a lot of waiting time/being left in a room to ponder and get anxious either, which I loved. The staff (Nurses, Receptionist, My Doctor, The Anesthesiologists, etc.) were honestly really sweet and comforting and ready to help me with anything I needed. Such a great team here, and fantastic treatment as well. Thank you Riverwoods Surgery Center! ❤️
