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.
Otolaryngology (ENT Surgery)6
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.
Obstetrics & Gynecology6
HysteroscopyA slim camera passed through the cervix examines the inside of the uterus, and can remove polyps or fibroids in the same visit. No abdominal incision is involved. Cramping for a day or two afterward is normal.LaparoscopyA camera and instruments are inserted through small abdominal incisions, allowing diagnosis and treatment without a large open incision. Used for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and pelvic pain, with recovery measured in days rather than weeks.D&C (Dilation and Curettage)The cervix is dilated and the uterine lining removed, for heavy bleeding, after a miscarriage, or to obtain tissue for diagnosis. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes and most people return to normal activity within a day or two.Tubal LigationThe fallopian tubes are sealed, cut, or removed to provide permanent contraception. It should be considered irreversible — reversal is not reliably successful, so it is intended for people certain they do not want future pregnancy.Endometrial AblationThe uterine lining is destroyed to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding, offering an alternative to hysterectomy. It is not a contraceptive, and it is only appropriate for those who have completed childbearing.Ovarian Cyst RemovalA persistent, enlarging, or painful ovarian cyst is removed, usually laparoscopically. Surgeons generally aim to remove the cyst while preserving the ovary itself, particularly for patients who may want future pregnancy.
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.

My experience was highly positive - nurses Jennifer, Anne, and Kelly made me feel prioritized and quite comfortable in their highly competent care. Stephanie and Joanne were instrumental in getting a smooth start to my procedure. I’m grateful to Dr Abby for snagging all the baddies and offering a comprehensive & easy to understand diagnostic summary. I’m impressed! Gotta go back in five years and I’m not dreading it thanks to these outstanding women. I’m assuming they have a highly supportive Administrator and VP up there!

Colonoscopy not anyone's idea of fun, but Dr Gonzaga, Dr Shulman and the whole team did a great job. Timely and complete info before prep and day of procedure, including on the phone when I had a question ahead of time, friendly compassionate manner at all stages and a smooth painless process. Impressed and grateful that they took an anxiety-inducing procedure and made it feel routine.

Took my mom for an endoscopy, the toilet seat in the bathroom was up, urine was in the toilet, all over the seat, and the floor. There was hair in the sink, bandages and other garbage by the garbage can all over the floor in her room. The blanket was dirty and was just tossed on the bed. Asked the nurse for a clean blanket and he responded with, “This IS clean.” Nope! Prefer to not have to go back there.

I would give this 5 stars if it weren't for the scheduling, the letter sent, and the preparation instructions for the procedures I had done. If I didn't know my body like I do and a nurse I never would have been ready . Mirlex alone , just does not cut it! And prior to arrival...one case manager involved would be wise. But, I never had such a fantastic health team! I felt well taken care of and not judged. Dr Gonzaga was kind, informative, and very proficient .

I got a call from the center about an appointment. They left me a message and asked me to call back before 5pm. I called at 345 pm and was on hold for 26 minutes, when I gave up and left a message. I asked that they return my call to confirm that they got my message. It's gets to be 450pm and no one has called. I called back because they close at 5pm. I spoke to a friendly and helpful nurse. She did not get my message. When your health is in question professional administration practice becomes even more important. It's hard to trust them if they can't manage scheduling. Update - I had my appointment. Arrival time was 12:45, I got there at 12:25. I waited in the waiting room until they called me back at 1:30pm. I saw the doctor at 2:50pm. The clinic was busy and felt chaotic. Many patients were frustrated. Staff seems unaware that many patients have not eaten for 24-30 hours prior to their appointments.
