Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness. In most cases, a simple
surgical procedure can prevent blindness or restore sight. This painless, outpatient
surgery requires only local anesthetic and is available locally at Arbuckle
Memorial Hospital.
Cataract surgery* is performed by a Board Certified Ophthalmologist.
Urology Clinic

chronic infection or pain, blood in the urine, or those who wish to have a routine
exam performed can do so on an outpatient basis at Arbuckle Memorial Hospital.
Endoscopy
