About

Sharp Otay Lakes Surgery Center on Chula Vista's Lane Avenue is a Medicare-certified, freestanding ambulatory surgical center operating three fully equipped operating rooms for outpatient procedures that do not require overnight hospital admission (NPI 1376595421, established 2006). The center's orthopedic and spine caseload includes patients who have first pursued conservative treatments at practices such as Gerken Family Chiropractic before escalating to surgical intervention when non-operative protocols fail to resolve structural pathology. Procedural specialties span orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, gastroenterology (colonoscopy and endoscopy), pain-medicine injections, and general surgery, with board-certified anesthesiology support for all cases performed under the center's CLIA-certified protocols. Acute post-surgical complications or unexpected findings during outpatient procedures are triaged through nearby emergency-access facilities such as Marque Urgent Care, providing after-hours clinical support within the same eastern Chula Vista corridor. The highest-volume interventional procedures include fluoroscopy-guided lumbar epidural steroid injections for radiculopathy and arthroscopic rotator-cuff repair with suture-anchor fixation, both performed as same-day-discharge cases.
