Procedures Performed

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

Orthopaedic Surgery6
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.
Interventional Pain Management6
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.
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.

These people get 5 Stars & well Deserved, I had a horrible Bladder infection & didn’t know I was sick. They busted their butts in ER, Thank you all so much. There were no beds but they kept me in ER through the night, next day a great room with continual docs, Nurses, CNA &many, many more. I ended up staying 5 days with constant Fantastic Staff throughout my stay, heck even the food & their staff were great. I’m sure I owe my life to all these people & I’ll always be grateful 💕Thanks Again!!!

My Mom just spent 5 days there in the Yellow Zone, during those 5 days the care was horrible. 3rd day there she had nobody offered to help clean her dentures, or help any with personal care. There is NO WARM/HOT water to wash your hands or clean up with. I am sure that doesn't follows the Dept of Health regulations. Post surgery for a hip replacement the staff crossed her legs and let the leg she just had surgery on fall off the bed while rolling her to her side!!! Her room was nasty and dirty, the house keeper only emptied her garbage, NOTHING else was done to clean her room. I talked with staff and got the run around and lied to. I was there and saw it. I work in the Health Care field and am embarrassed for my profession. This is basic nursing 101 not rocket science. I had to demand a RT eval, they wanted to send her home with a 02 of 84% !!! Asked for home health again was told we don't order home health for hip surgery!!!! I always thought your patience's come first, what has happened to our health care system? We had many other issues too, however I am trying to keep this short. I have referred family and friends to this hospital but after this experience I will think twice. I do what to say Thank you to 2 staff members in the yellow zone Erick NAC and Tiffany RN Thank you, your were awesome, to bad we didn't have you care for my mom for the whole 5 days stay.

Went to the ER tonight for possible appendicitis. It turned out not to be appendicitis but my care was wonderful here. Nurse Abbie in the ER was amazing! She was so helpful, kind, caring, and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Wilfort came in and advised me it was shift change for the Dr.’s but he stayed and helped me so that I could get a CT done and get the process going instead of waiting for the next shift of Dr.’s. He was very thorough and explained things very well! 3 minutes after the CT request was put in, the CT tech Juan was there to take me to get my scan done. I’m so thankful to of all those that helped me tonight. I recommend that if you live in Tri-Cities and need a good hospital go to this one. Thanks again to Nurse Abbie and Dr. Wilfort and Juan the CT tech for all your help and care!

I had a very good experience while being treated in the Emergency department on 11/24/2025 the lady I checked in with! Treated me very well. The next one was doing a cardio gram on me and in a very nice caring way showed me how to calm myself down enough so she could do her work! The people who took over from there were very respect and helped me. I had a kidney stone and i hadn’t ever experienced that kind of an intense pain before. As soon as i was seen they started working on my issue! Meds CT scan etc! The Rn’s and Doctor involved were very knowledgeable and kind. Treated me with respect and put up with me. I am not an easy patient I cussed a lot. I would definitely recommend going theee to anyone needing emergency care. Five out of fevers stars. Plus a couple for the CT Scan lady.
