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.
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.

From the moment I walked in I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The receptionist and the nurses were gentle and told me exactly what they were doing. Then Dr.V came in and told me what was going to happen., and I have to say it was a pleasant experience.

There was a sign on the desk saying that they did not promise confidentiality as discussion from the treatment rooms could be heard from the lobby. This is a HIPA violation. Add to that the lack of communication, being urged to sign things without reading them, and using my email to sign me up for random spam i bet theres other violations going on here. Go anywhere else. They only care about your money here.

This place is for spine and pain care, I got a referral from my doctor specifically FOR SPINE AND PAIN CARE and they won’t even offer an appointment to see me and determine IN PERSON if I could use their services. What is the point of being a spine and pain clinic, if they dont bother to see people who have chronic back pain, based on a doctors note sent with the referral. Absolutely ridiculous. The least they can offer is to actually see the person with chronic back and spine pain before they say “no sorry, your doctors notes say one thing so we wont even bother to make an appointment to see if we can help” Absolute waste of time trying to see these people

Dr. Mitchell has been the best doctor I've been to. She actually listened to me, and is helping me. She hasn't been rude and dismissive to me like many other doctors I've seen since I got hit by a truck walking home from work. It's taken 14 years to find her. Looking forward to improving my quality of life with her.

My significant other got a referral from her PCP for this clinic and called to schedule an appt. The receptionist told her "after reviewing your charts, we are unable to help you and there is nothing we can do for you " SHE HAS NOT EVEN SEEN A DOCTOR AT THIS CLINIC!!! How can a place tell someone they can't help them without even an initial appt?!?!?! Maybe it's due to the doctor who wrote the referral and left out pertinent info. But all I know is that she has multiple MRI scans, documented medical issues, etc. After a back injury left her with multiple slipped discs, severe cervical spine damage, right shin permanent tissue damage how can a clinic say they can't help her when she has never been seen by them before?????? She cannot even walk 20 feet without the use of crutches due to her pain!!! It is so bad that I have had to become her caregiver because she cannot fully take care of herself on a daily basis. This is absolutely mind boggling to me that they are so quick to deny someone any help without being seen first. I guess now all of the negative reviews for this place finally make sense.
