Procedures Performed

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

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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
HysteroscopyA slim camera passed through the cervix examines the inside of the uterus, and can remove polyps or fibroids in the same visit. No abdominal incision is involved. Cramping for a day or two afterward is normal.LaparoscopyA camera and instruments are inserted through small abdominal incisions, allowing diagnosis and treatment without a large open incision. Used for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and pelvic pain, with recovery measured in days rather than weeks.D&C (Dilation and Curettage)The cervix is dilated and the uterine lining removed, for heavy bleeding, after a miscarriage, or to obtain tissue for diagnosis. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes and most people return to normal activity within a day or two.Tubal LigationThe fallopian tubes are sealed, cut, or removed to provide permanent contraception. It should be considered irreversible โ€” reversal is not reliably successful, so it is intended for people certain they do not want future pregnancy.Endometrial AblationThe uterine lining is destroyed to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding, offering an alternative to hysterectomy. It is not a contraceptive, and it is only appropriate for those who have completed childbearing.Ovarian Cyst RemovalA persistent, enlarging, or painful ovarian cyst is removed, usually laparoscopically. Surgeons generally aim to remove the cyst while preserving the ovary itself, particularly for patients who may want future pregnancy.
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.
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 โ€” impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage โ€” 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.

When I had my surgery done I had never heard of this place and was a little nervous about it. But ones in there and the staff came in it was a total different feeling. They were so nice and fun and took really good care of me! They made all my fears vanish. I would refer everyone I know, and more to this place.

Poor prep work causing MULTIPLE issues. I had a scheduled surgery for December 4th. I tried to get an estimate. They didn't know the anesthesiologist costs, but gave me a number to call to find out. That number was a direct personal cell phone to an IT guy at the company in Texas, he didn't know how to help. On December 3rd, the day before surgery, this surgical center called me saying they don't accept my insurance. They didn't check on this ahead of time. I asked if I can just pay the same contracted rates and do it all out of pocket, because I'm on an HSA and it would all be out of pocket either way for me. They said it would be roughly $3500 more. So I cancelled. I now have to change all my month's plans, reschedule for summer, and change my family planned summer vacations then. I'm also out a $250 doctor consultation because they're required within 30 days of surgery. This place just doesn't double check anything properly and it cost me time and money.

I, went there Oct. 7 for a joint injection for the right right SI I had extreme arthritis pain. This place Is extremely perfisional the cleanest operating room. The people that check you in the nurses are happy and fun you don't worry it becomes almost fun. Dr. Daniel Baer is the best He's very comforting and fun, it was the best experience ever, I would suggest going there. If I need to go back that's where I will go. I was on my bic 2 days after doing my miles. A very very good experience. Rochelle Brown

Allie- and Sarah my Pre op nurses-Fantastic job, got me through nausea. Patient kind, kept me informed and introduced to each person on my surgical team. They made sure I had everything I needed for comfort and encouraged me the whole way through. When warm blankets cooled they made sure I had a warm one again, when I had pain they were on top of it. Lee, Kiley and Josh-Friendly, Caring. Professional. Dr Wade Anesthesiologist- introduced himself, checked on all of my stats and history personally. Friendly and personal. Went over the anesthesia process with me, step by step. Assured me that everything would be fine. Dr.Rocco- so amazing, he checked on me prior to the surgery and Post op. Professional, friendly, patient to answer any and all questions. My surgery site was almost without any bruising. Went over all of the Discharge Instructions and post op exercise and CPM. Dr Rocco is very personable and makes his patients feel important and cared for. I highly recommend him as your surgeon. Steve and Heidi did a great job in Admittance, friendly and professional.. At no time before, during or after the procedure at the Ambulatory Surgery Center did I ever question should I be in a Hospital and not where I am at. The facility was clean, well prepped, and well staffed. They made me feel like a family member not a stranger throughout the process I highly recommend the Ambulatory Surgery Center and each member of their staff, surgical team and especially Dr. Rocco. You can tell he cares about every person he works with as well as his patients. My next Total Knee Replacement is scheduled for Nov.17, I would not have anything or person changed. My care was above and beyond. 5***** Sincerely, Cheryl Kidd, 62 years of age.
