Blepharoplasty/Eyelid Revision Procedures
Upper eyelid revision and lower eyelid revision, both known as blepharoplasty, also known as blephs, reduce the drooping eyelid tissue.
Learn MoreBunion/Hammer Toe Correction
Bunions are a deformity that cause the big toe to point toward the second toe. This causes a bump on the edge of the foot at the joint of the big toe. Hammer toe is another deformity of the second, third or fourth toes that cause them to bend down like a claw. Both conditions can be corrected through surgical procedures.
Learn MoreCataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a safe and effective way to restore vision. It is done on an outpatient basis and only requires a short recovery period.
Learn MoreCervical, Thoracic and Lumbar Treatments
When back pain won’t go away, your doctor may include injections to ease your back pain and inflammation. These shots usually consist of a steroid and a local anesthetic.
Learn MoreCorneal Transplants
A corneal transplant is done to replace a diseased or scarred cornea with a new one. Of all tissue transplants, corneal transplants are the most successful, with over 40,000 performed in the United States each year.
Learn MoreDupuytren's Surgery
Dupuytren’s is a condition that thickens and tightens the tissue under the skin of the hands. A solid, raised knot develops in the connective tissue, mostly affecting the fingers on one or both hands. The causes of Dupuytren’s remain unknown, but it commonly occurs due to age, family history, diabetes and tobacco and alcohol use. If the condition is severe, surgery may be necessary to restore normal hand and finger movement.
Learn MoreEndoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery is used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a pain and weakness in the hand caused by pressure on the median nerve.
Learn MoreEpidural Steroid Injection
An epidural steroid injection treats nerve irritation caused by nearby tissues pressing on the nerve. The inflamed nerve root is bathed in steroids, an anti-inflammation medicine, to decrease the irritation of the nerve root that is causing the pain.
Learn MoreEyelid Surgery for Aging Eyes
Surgery is usually the best treatment for drooping eyelids. This specialized surgical procedure for dermatochalasis is called blepharoplasty, and is usually performed by an ophthalmologist who has special training in handling these delicate areas surrounding your eyes.
Learn MoreFacet Joint Injections
Facet Joint Injections are administered both for a therapeutic and diagnostic purpose, and can, as with the epidural steroid injections, be targeted to the cervical, thoracic or lumbar areas.
Learn MoreGanglion Mass Excision
Ganglion masses are diagnosed by their shape, feel and location, but a certain diagnosis cannot be determined unless the mass is excised. The cause of a ganglion mass or cyst is unknown.
Learn MoreGeneral Anesthesia
Many major operations are performed under general anesthesia. This means that the patient will be unconscious and have no awareness of the surgical procedure.
Learn MoreGlaucoma Laser Treatments
Laser surgery has become a desirable option as an intermediate glaucoma treatment between medications and traditional surgery and some doctors use it as an initial treatment prior to starting drops.
Learn MoreGlaucoma Surgery
While glaucoma is often treated with medicated eye drops, sometimes surgery becomes necessary. We perform selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), a procedure that uses a low-level energy laser to target specific cells in the trabecular meshwork, the eye’s drainage channels.
Learn MoreIOLs
An intraocular lens, or IOL, is a clear, plastic lens that becomes a permanent part of the eye and requires no care. Based on test results, a surgeon will recommend the best IOL for each individual patient. The types of IOL’s are monofocal, astigmatism correcting, multifocal and light-adjustable.
Learn MoreIntercostal Nerve Blocks
The intercostal nerve is found between the ribs in the upper back. These nerves can become irritated or inflamed, often due to shingles (herpes zoster) leading to Postherpetic Neuralgia.
Learn MoreJoint Arthroscopy: Knee, Shoulder and Ankle
Joint Arthroscopy is a procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems in the knee, shoulder and ankle. It can also be used to assess the results of a previous surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon will examine and probably repair the problem with the help of an arthroscope, which is a small camera attached to a video monitor.
Learn MoreLaser Trabeculoplasty
If you have open angle glaucoma and your eyesight is getting worse in spite of medication, your doctor may recommend laser trabeculoplasty as an initial surgical option.
Learn MoreLaser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
Laser Cataract Surgery is a fully customizable, precision-care solution for restoring your clearest possible vision. This pre-planned outpatient procedure offers predictability and convenience.
Learn MoreMILD Procedure
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD) is a type of outpatient procedure to treat people with LSS. During the procedure, a physician removes excess bone and ligaments in the narrowed area, which creates more space in the spinal canal so the nerves can decompress.
Learn MoreMonitored Anesthesia Care (MAC)
Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) is a technique of sedation provided by the anesthesia team which involved providing sedation while closely monitoring the patient’s vital signs and comfort level.
Learn MoreOculoplastics & Reconstructive Surgery
Oculoplastic surgery refers to a wide variety of surgical procedures that treat the eyelids, tear ducts and the face.
Learn MorePain Stimulator Insertion (Spinal Cord Stimulation)
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) creates an electrical field over the spinal cord, which blocks pain that comes from damage to the nervous system.
Learn MorePeripheral Nerve Evaluation (PNE)
The diagnostic evaluation, peripheral nerve evaluation (PNE), is an outpatient procedure with no incision.
Learn MorePlantar Fasciotomy
Plantar fasciotomy is a surgical procedure that treats plantar fasciitis, sometimes called heel spurs. This is a condition that causes stabbing or burning heel pain when the tissue along the bottom of the foot — which connects the heel bone to the toes — becomes inflamed.
Learn MorePodiatry Procedures
Podiatry focuses on the prevention, diagnoses and treatment of conditions associated with the foot and ankle.
Learn MorePterygium Surgery
Pterygium is also known as surfer’s eye because of its common occurrence in surfers. Individuals with pterygium have a growth of pink, fleshy tissue on the white of the eye. If symptoms are mild, pterygium usually doesn’t require treatment. If pterygium worsens and causes redness or irritation, it can be treated with some form of eye drops. If the lesion causes discomfort or interferes with vision, it can be surgically removed in an outpatient procedure.
Learn MoreRadiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure treating dysplastic (precancerous) Barrett’s esophagus.
Learn MoreRadiofrequency Lesioning
Radiofrequency lesioning is a minimally invasive procedure where high frequency radio waves are passed through a needle into a small area of a patient’s nerve. When this happens, it creates heat and damages the nerve.
Learn MoreRotator Cuff Repair
Rotator cuff repair is performed to fix a torn shoulder tendon or remove a bone spur. It can be performed with a large incision or with shoulder arthroscopy using many small incisions.
Learn MoreSacroiliac Joint Injection
Sacroiliac Joint Injection is an injection of an anesthetic with a long lasting steroid mixture into the sacroiliac joints, which are located in the back where the lumbosacral spine joins the pelvis.
Learn MoreSelective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)
While glaucoma is often treated with medicated eye drops, sometimes surgery becomes necessary. We perform selective laser trabeculoplasty(SLT), a procedure that uses a low-level energy laser to target specific cells in the trabecular meshwork, the eye’s drainage channels.
Learn MoreSelective Nerve Blocks (SNRB)
A selective nerve block (SNRB) is the injection of a local anesthetic along a specific nerve root. This procedure is used primarily to diagnose nerve root compression.
Learn MoreSpinal Cord Stimulation Trial
Spinal cord stimulation is a therapy that uses a small device to interfere with pain signals before they reach the brain. This pacemaker-like device—the spinal cord simulator or SCS—is implanted in the body and sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord.
Learn MoreSympathetic Nerve Blocks
A sympathetic nerve block is an injection of a local anesthetic into the area in which these nerves coalesce, called the Sympathetic Ganglion. This blocks these nerves so that the sympathetic nervous system can no longer mediate the pain.
Learn MoreTenosynovectomy
Tenosynovectomy is a procedure performed to surgically excise the tendon sheath (a layer of membrane surrounding the tendon). Typically used to treat patients that have developed tenosynovitis, this procedure will reduce joint inflammation and pain if anti-inflammatory medications or compression aren’t successful.
Learn MoreTrabeculectomy
Trabeculectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part of the trabeculum in the eye to reduce pressure caused by glaucoma. Trabeculectomy is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and chronic closed-angle glaucoma.
Learn MoreTraditional Glaucoma Surgical Treatments
When medicated eye drops and laser surgery do not remedy intraocular pressure (IOP), your doctor may recommend conventional glaucoma surgery.
Learn MoreTrigger Point Injections
A trigger point injection is an outpatient procedure used to relieve pain by treating areas of muscle that contain trigger points (contracted knots of muscle that form when the muscles do not relax). Often these knots can be felt under the skin.
Learn MoreVitrectomy
A vitrectomy is one of the procedures used to repair a detached retina. This procedure removes portions of the vitreous. This is sometimes necessary when the vitreous, a thick, transparent substance that fills the center of the eye, blocks the surgeon’s view of the detached retina.
Learn MoreYAG Laser Procedure
Problems after cataract surgery are rare but can occur. Sometimes the tissue that encloses the artificial intraocular lens becomes cloudy and blurs the vision. This is called an after-cataract. This can develop months or even years after cataract surgery. This outpatient procedure is treated with a laser, called YAG laser capsulotomy.
Learn MoreiStent Glaucoma Surgery With Cataract Surgery
In 2012, the FDA approved a device called the iStent Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent System to treat symptoms of glaucoma. This is the first device that has been approved in conjunction with cataract surgery to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in adult patients with mild or moderate open-angle glaucoma and a cataract who are currently on IOP medication.
