Procedures Performed

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

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.

SG team is 'mahvelous' .. from Jacob, Jordan, Kennedy and Tatum on the front/back end; Kelly (prep nurse) is an Angel (barely felt the IV dongle during insertion); Andrea in the OR (apologies if I have this wrong); my recovery nurse (apologies that I didn't get your name but you're a 'salty one'); Michael w the 'juice' (anastesia), and of course Dr. Lowe .. I was a mess 3-4 years ago (health-wise) but now I'm in OK shape for a 73 year 'old fart' w issues .. if you have these people as part of your health team (I have 6 in my corner that turned my health around), consider yourself "lucky" to be able to still enjoy what life has to offer ..

They care about their patients here! They get me in and out, they walk me to the car and are kind. I highly recommend Sonoran Endoscopy!

Dr. Lowe and staff are wonderful, this was my first colonoscopy, I was not nervous or worried at all. The whole process from making my first appointment, to meeting Dr. Lowe for the first time, to scheduling the procedure, to getting the correct prep prescriptions, to the actual procedure, to the after care follow up. I am more then happy I was referred to Sonoran Endoscopy and Dr. Lowe. Thank you Sonoran Endoscopy for making everything easy!!

VETERANS BEWARE! I was referred here for community care. Had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done. Dr. Lowe was great. The billing department has no idea what they're doing. Wish I could give 5 stars for service and 0 stars for the headaches their billing department has caused. Here we are six months after the procedures, and they're still sending me a $16,041 bill. I've literally spent hours on the phone with at least a dozen people trying to figure out how to correct the problem. I was told by Suzy in the billing dept back in late August that she had it figured out.......... Just received another bill in the mail! I've reached my tipping point, and will likely be taking legal action for this continued unlawful harassment. If you're a Veteran referred to this place, I'd recommend finding somewhere else within the VA network for community care.

My experience at Sonoran Endoscopy was outstanding. The staff was so nice and so knowledgeable in the procedure that I had. Dr.Lowe has been my doctor for nineteen years and I cannot say enough about how nice he is and how smart he is. His diagnosis skills are amazing. We think the world of him!! If you have GI issues he is certainly the doctor you want taking care of you!
