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.
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.

The doctors and staff at this location take great care of people and they used to have great customer service. Ever since they were bought out by Olympia Ortho it is almost impossible to get a call back or schedule an appointment, similar to how it is working with their Olympia location. The best way to speak to someone, schedule an appointment, or manage a worker's comp claim for your employee is to visit in person as the chat feature and phone system are minimally functional.

Sharing for my daughter who doesn’t post on the internet. She says that Dr. Dujela was fabulous!! He was compassionate and professional, and did a wonderful job on the closed reduction on her broken toe. She usually has severe doctor anxiety but he talked to her through the whole procedure and helped her to stay calm. One of the best doctor visits ever!

They were so nice. It’s a long drive and I went a day early. I know what? Over a hour drive. They didn’t say come back tomorrow, they said we will work on getting you in if you can wait a short time. I said yes and almost went right in. Then the nurse was really nice as I was stressed out. I hate making mistakes that I was a drive down from Union. The nurse and doctor were great and nice to me. Doctors explained it well and they sent me off with a list of hand specialist for me to call. How perfect was that for being a jerk and going a day early. Thank you for a great experience. And that doesn’t always happen in doctors offices these days. Thank you very much for a great day

I went to the facility in Centralia, Washington. Check in was great. Very efficient and great ladies doing a fine job. I really enjoyed my appt. I met with Kate how was so personable. She listened to my issues and gave me great info. She was extremely knowledgeable and easily corrected my problem and gave me needed info for the future. I would definitely go back I really like them much more than the doctors and PAC at Oly Ortho.

Fantastic and friendly staff, from reception, radiology, nurses and Dr Harvey. He was straight forward with me and I appreciate that. Ice cold water was there in the waiting room.
