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.

It was a pleasure meeting with the staff. Everyone was very friendly and I felt comfortable with the team. Dr Seefelt was amazing and helped me understand the process. I am anxious to complete both eyes. MD

The staff are very professional, friendly, and efficient from the moment I walked in. The clinic staff and Dr. Frederickson took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the exam. The service was quick, thorough, and very organized. I truly appreciate the care and attention I received. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality eye care!

The docs here chef kiss. She made sure I was super comfortable answered all my questions and once I informed her of my anxiety she understood and made sure to fully explain everything to me.. There are two things that can improve the check in machine is not patient friendly at ALL. And also the front desk ppl are the first contact with the company it should be more professional and great customer service should be the goal. They set the mood for the company. But the docs great job.
