Procedures Performed

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

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery6
Breast Augmentation / ReductionBreast size is increased by placing implants, or decreased by removing breast tissue and skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. Reduction is often performed to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight.RhinoplastySurgery that reshapes the nose by altering the bone and cartilage beneath the skin. It is performed to change appearance, to correct breathing problems caused by internal structure, or both. Swelling takes months to fully resolve.FaceliftLiposuctionFat is suctioned out from beneath the skin through small tubes called cannulas, reshaping a specific area such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. It targets localized deposits and is a contouring procedure rather than a method of weight loss.Wound ReconstructionRebuilds skin and underlying tissue where a wound is too large or too damaged to close directly. Surgeons move nearby tissue, or transfer skin and muscle from elsewhere on the body, to cover the defect. Often follows trauma, infection, or cancer removal.Skin GraftingHealthy skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to cover a wound or burn elsewhere. Both the graft site and the donor site need care, and the donor site is often the more uncomfortable of the two.
Gastroenterology (GI Surgery)6
ColonoscopyA flexible camera examines the full length of the colon to screen for cancer and remove polyps before they become cancerous. Done under sedation, it typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The bowel prep the day before is the part most patients find hardest.Upper Endoscopy (EGD)A thin camera passed through the mouth examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Used to investigate persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or abdominal pain. Usually takes 15 to 30 minutes under sedation.Flexible SigmoidoscopyExamines the lower portion of the colon only, rather than its full length. Preparation is lighter than a full colonoscopy and sedation is sometimes unnecessary, but it cannot detect problems higher in the colon.Capsule EndoscopyYou swallow a vitamin-sized camera that photographs the small intestine as it passes through — a region that standard scopes cannot easily reach. There is no sedation and no recovery. The capsule passes naturally, and images are reviewed after the fact.ERCPCombines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat blockages in the bile and pancreatic ducts, most often gallstones stuck in a duct. Unlike a routine endoscopy, it carries a meaningful risk of pancreatitis afterward, so it is used when treatment is likely rather than for screening alone.Hemorrhoid TreatmentShrinks or removes swollen veins in the rectum and anus using rubber band ligation, injection, or surgical removal depending on severity. Banding is quick and typically requires no anesthesia; surgical removal is more effective for advanced cases but recovery is noticeably more uncomfortable.
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.

They have a patient police that says, all are treated equal ,regardless of sex ,race and so on. However they don't follow this. They stated they have male staff available, I had to demand a all male staff. They give the female staff first choice to be in the operation room. They don't maintain a man's dignity and values and modesty. Females get all of the all the respect. The male staff I had were very accommodating.

Took my children out of school early for their fathers surgery scheduled at 1:15pm (for which he hadn’t eaten or drank since midnight). They just took him back at 4pm!!!! Which means my children have to also miss dance and soccer practices tonight-(with a recital coming up and a game in three days) very disappointed- I realize things happen, but this long is not acceptable! Yes the staff was mostly very friendly and welcoming, but we left early due to bad weather and after a scary drive to get here on time (early in fact) the wait completely ruined our day!

My 3 year old had a surgery done by Dr. Sweet two weeks ago. The staff and nurses were so sweet to him and did such a great job keeping him calm and comfortable. They also did such a thorough job explaining everything that I had no questions at all. Phenomenal job all around!

The staff are top notch, attentive, and efficient. I was not a patient, but was there for half a day supporting one. I would have no qualms about having any procedure here. If you are here supporting a patient, they have a comfortable waiting area. Chairs with small attached tables are perfect for a laptop. There is a TV, but you'll have to watch CBS daytime TV. There is Wi-Fi, coffee, water, access to free small snacks (cookies/crackers), and a unisex handicap bathroom. Parking was ample and convenient with a private exit for the patient. There is a private consultation room to meet with the surgeon. I took more pictures of the waiting room, but this is the only one that saved.

I reviewed the doctor who performed my surgery (Dr. Weiland) and felt I needed to leave something about everyone who helped him get me through my procedure. What I can say about this place is that at every single step of the way I was treated so well and they were compassionate professionals. To anybody worried about the procedure they face I would say it would be hard to find a better place to do it. The staff and anesthesiologist were just unbelievably super in my opinion. I highly recommend them !!!
