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.
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.
Obstetrics & Gynecology6
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 — 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.
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.

Son had ear tube sugery today. He has extreme fear of the doctors. Every staff member today was amazing. Nurses who took extra steps to help. Doctors were amazing. Post op care was gentle and quick. Couldn’t have asked for a better team today!

Nice clean place. Staff very friendly. The only thing I didn't like was being charged twice for the cataract surgery. I think it should be 1set price or atleast half price since the eye dr will only do 1 eye at a time. Especially when insurance will not pay for it. I think 630.00 is a little much for each surgery and that's not including the eye dr fees. And the eye drops are separate as well. But overall very nice clean and friendly!!!

I recently underwent a tonsillectomy at Lynchburg Surgery Center, performed by Dr. Jay Cline, and I couldn't be more impressed with the exceptional care I received throughout the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, the check-in process was seamless, thanks to the kindness and efficiency of the front desk staff. Although I didn't catch her name, her warm demeanor set the tone for the rest of my visit. The nurse, Beb, who prepared me for surgery went above and beyond to ease my anxiety. Her ability to keep me distracted and laughing during the IV installation made all the difference. Her outstanding bedside manner truly made me feel comfortable and at ease. Dr. Jay Cline's personal touch further solidified my confidence in the team. His willingness to pray with me both during the pre-op appointment and before the surgery itself provided a sense of comfort and reassurance that is hard to come by in a medical setting. Overall, my experience at Lynchburg Surgery Center was nothing short of excellent. The combination of compassionate care, professionalism, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience surprisingly comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Jay Cline and the entire team at Lynchburg Surgery Center for anyone in need of surgical care.

On 2/1 and 2/15/2024 I had Cataract surgery at the Surgery Center in Lynchburg, VA. Dr. Gene Moss and his team at Piedmont Eye Center provided great service from beginning to end. Tammy the Surgical Coordinator was very efficient and helpful. Sierra and Vanessa J. at check in were very nice and helpful. My pre-op nurses Abbie and Charity were very kind and explained everything they were going to do and made me very comfortable. Th OR nurses Jessica, Emily, and Bekah were very professional and also made me comfortable. Dr. Gene Moss kept the OR room relaxed and explained what he was doing, while being a perfectionist working on my eyes. After the surgeries Meredith, Josie, Ariana, and Amy O. helped to get me ready to go home and made sure my ride was waiting for me. I appreciate each and every one of them for making it a pleasant experience. Lynchburg is very lucky to have them. Sandy

I had my first ever major surgery here today that involved general anesthesia. My experience from check-in to recovery was truly a 10/10. Every single staff member and nurse I encountered was pleasant, knowledgeable and caring. The facility is nice and clean, they explain everything to you thoroughly and I felt completely comfortable. I walked into this surgery with a lot of fear and anxiety, but I couldn’t have asked for it to go any better than it did. My nurse, Jill, was amazing, the anesthesiologist was great in his explanation of things and very pleasant to talk to, and Dr. Gado was GREAT. If there was any place I’d recommend for surgery, it would be here. The only this I will say is I felt a little rushed out at the end and when I got there to check in, I was given the wrong persons paperwork. After getting mine, it had the wrong procedure listed, so my husband had to end up signing something else. Other than that, I had a great experience.
