Procedures Performed

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

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.
Gastroenterology (GI Surgery)6
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.
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.

This place has really gone down and when I have my next child I will not be going to this facility first the The receptionist be loud talking about other patients problems like when I was sitting there waiting to be called they sitting behind the desk talking about a lady who said she was waiting on hold for 30 minutes and the receptionist lied told her they was very busy and they wasn’t then when I get to the back for my ultrasound the lady rushing me because they over booked their selfies and I’m was trying to tell her that my appointment was for labs at 9am and for my doctor at 9:50 am they talk to you any kind of way then will have you sitting there knowning your doctor is at the hospital and not coming and then when you asked them about how long everybody gets a attitude with you like you not the reason the place is still in business they are breaking all kids of hoops laws and etc but I will not recommend anybody that’s having a baby to go to this facility it’s not the doctors. It’s the nurses that worked there. They are very rude reckless with their mouth and reckless with your time.

Showed up 30 minutes early for my wife’s colonoscopy and she didn’t get called back for another hour then she was brought back out and said there wasn’t any rooms available. Then she was brought back again and waited another hour and a half waiting for the procedure. This place is a crap show, don’t even consider this place please save yourself the trouble. They have no idea what they are doing

The physical plant is worn. The rugs appear dirty. Pulmonary patients should be closer to the entrance. Too far to walk. Support staff is courteous, helpful and willing to assist. Physician interaction has been inconsistent. Ranges from professional and proactive to condescending and defensive. I find this with Bayview Cardiology and Pulmonary. Willing to chalk it up to their own issues with the system, but both disheartening and unfortunate for patients to deal with these type of interactions. We come to them because we need their expertise and want their respect. They want our respect, but if we ask questions, we are deemed "uninformed" about our illness. Knowing you're very ill, doesn't preclude questions for possible alleviation of symptoms. No need for condescending and patronage. Not our fault, you're having a bad day. Clearly, my assessment.

I made an appointment with Allison, a PA in the GI office at Meade parkway for some abdominal pains I’ve been having. My experience from the front desk, check in, and the matter of fact directness from this provider was incredible. Recognizing my pain her staff called around to find me an opening for a ct scan which revealed severe swelling. My follow up appointment with dr Ramirez was scheduled and handled quickly who has me in touch with a Gi specialist to address my issue. I can’t thank this entire team enough for their care and professionalism. Solid caregivers all of them. Just disappointed i can’t mention them all by name…

Staff and physicians are very friendly and helpful. Check-in for routine procedure was quick and there was hardly a wait before getting started. Plenty of parking and places to sit in the waiting areas.
