Procedures Performed

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

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.

I recently underwent a procedure with Dr. Lee, and I must say, he and his staff exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The facility itself is top-notch, but what truly sets them apart is the incredible kindness and capability of Dr. Lee and his team. As a patient, it's normal to feel a bit apprehensive, but Dr. Lee and his staff immediately put me at ease. Their compassion and reassurance made all the difference. They handled everything with such grace and expertise that I couldn't help but feel grateful. Thank you, Dr. Lee, and to all the wonderful staff, for your outstanding care. You truly make a difference in the world, one patient at a time. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been under your care.

Billing department is a major scam. They billed Medicare, and Medicare responded to the insurance claim. Then our supplement plan kicked in to pay the 20% not covered by Medicare. So the entire bill was already taken care of by insurance. 3 months later, we get a bill for $1245 for Anesthesia. I had to dig through medical bills to double check that our insurance plans have covered the charge.

My review is long overdue as my procedure was the first week of December 2018. From start to finish I had an A+ experience. After my appointment was concerned Mid Peninsula Endoscopy Center (MPEC) actually called my pharmacy to order the SUPPREP. The day before the procedure they called and did a brief intake. Since I am unfamiliar with the prior location my review is on the new location which I found very nice. What surprised me was once I was checked in I was brought into what looked like a hospital area. Even more impressive is that I had my own area. Throughout the procedure I was treated with dignity and respect. From the nursing staff to the anesthesiologist, to Dr. Thai, for such an uncomfortable procedure, they made it easier. Nor did I ever feel rushed and that I was just a number. To top things off Dr. Thai herself called me with the results a week later. A big thank you to MPEC.
