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 — 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.
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.
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 is awful. My son had surgery at the hospital a few months ago . At the hospital when we went to recovery they said to let him wake up on his own. He did. And they gave him popsicles and then had him drink something. They waited to be sure he held it down. The nurses and staff talked to him about pokemon and such. Everyone there sang him happy birthday. He was there a while. I'd say an hour. When he left he was fully awake and clear headed. Now a few months later they send him for another surgery at this building behind Sheetz. The lady with him before surgery that gave us the gown and such was nice. The anesthesiologist David was amazing with him. But the nurse in recovery was awful. There was no recovery. She left marks on him digging her thumb up under his jaw to force him awake. He was crying and still never opened his eyes when she shoved a popsicle in his hand insisting he eat it. She put him in a wheel chair and out the door with his eyes still mostly shut and him crying and emotional and clearly still drugged. His "recovery" was all of 10 minutes. If any of my children ever need surgery again I will insist it is NOT here!

I had double knee replacement at this surgery center- the center was clean and nurses, MD, anesthesia and PT amazing! However, I was owed a refund and have made no less than a dozen calls starting Oct ‘24 and told the office manager would follow up. Never a return call or email. Surgery was July 2024 and as of March 2025 still no refund for overpayment. I was finally able to speak with office manager Emery today who was incredibly rude and unprofessional. I inquired why he hasn’t returned any of the dozen of messages left to which he replied ‘I don’t know’. I don’t know? Really? This is the response to months of phone calls and promises he would call me and follow up? He states refunds won’t be issued until insurance clears which is about 30 days. Well, the math on that would be August ‘24. I asked when did insurance clear and he said he’d have to call billing. I was happy to wait while he checked- he said that wasn’t practical and he wasn’t gonna do it. He states he will process refund today and I should get it in 30 days. I have been told this every time I have called since October. Also- that means he has never processed it despite surgery July 2024? He then said he’d wasn’t gonna be ‘threatened by me’. What? When did I threaten anyone? He had no response. I did state facts: he is rude and unprofessional and not doing his job- never seems to be in the office and doesn’t even have his VM set up… I feel like if I owed Valley Health money they would he less forgiving than I have been waiting 8 months for my refund for overpayment. Ironically I was a Nurse for Valley Health for many years and chose to come back because I really like the surgeon- Dr Wise is amazing. However because of the office manager Emery as the leader of this center- I will not use or recommend this surgery center again.

Nurse Todd was absolutely amazing and kept me laughing nearly the entire time I was there for knee surgery. He was also super informative and caring. Dr. Currie and Dr. Mantell were a wonderful team to have and made this process both comforting and a breeze. Overall, I am very thankful that I had surgery here.

I had shoulder replacement sugery here late September. Dr. Wise was my surgeon and Dr. Currie was my anesthesiologist during my visit, both of which were great! The staff was very professional and I received excellent care. From check in to check out, the staff here is outstanding. I can't say enough about how well I was treated. They are all very professional and are outstanding caregivers. My sincerest thanks to each one of them. They are truly serving in their calling of helping people and are outstanding at it. I highly recommend Valley Health Surgery Center.

Had ankle surgery on 7-21. The entire staff & doctors were extremely nice, helpful, & understanding being so nervous not only to me but my wife. They made my surgery much less stressful. Really like the size of this facility & not having to deal with larger hospital grounds. I highly recommend this surgery center & have nothing but good things to say. Thanks again for such great service!
