Procedures Performed

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

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.

Dr. Larsen is phenomenal! He fixed my deviated septum and his office really cares about there patients. I was able to have all my questions answered before surgery and they were quick to help me solve any post-op concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Larsen and his office for any ENT care you need.

Dr. Fulcher performed a tonsillectomy for both my son and myself and we were so impressed with his level of care. He answered many of our questions post- op, always returned calls and could tell he cared. He is very to the point but I love that in a provider.

Meh... Sinus issues are slowly making progress, still not great, my throat situation hasn't been resolved or attended to despite mentioning it to the Dr, pain going on for three months now, felt robotic, just felt like a number not a patient, filled in several forms stating what was wrong, but had to re-explain just for it to be ignored, don't feel like my medical problems were a concern or important, walls are thin could hear all the other patients diagnosis so I assume others could hear my private matters too, but the annoyance of scheduling to come in for a 15:00 appointment around my work just to be told the allergy test can't be done because they don't have electricity, wasn't aware that a allergy test required electricity, that said, where's your power backup? If procedures are underway and power is lost then what? Like seriously, get a generator and emergency power backup solution. Not a great experience so far. Can't and will not recommend. Things need to improve drastically. Update: Went to Dr Butler to have things tended to that were not done at the primary office, what a different and lovely experience, the staff were friendly, the practice was clean and organized, my concerns were addressed, felt like a patient not a number, I'll continue going to Dr Butler.
