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.

We had high expectations but this department has failed us. This patient was diagnosed with Hemorrhoids and not given any further treatment for this. We spoke to Lupita which she offered steroids. He didn’t refuse but we explained the contradictions this could affect him in the short & long term. Lupita then interrupted us over the phone and said that was the only treatment for the steroids. I then mentioned other options for medication treatment and she agreed and said she would send over a prescription to the pharmacy within that week. We followed up and went to the pharmacy to pick up the order and upon arrival the pharmacist said there were no prescriptions ordered. We followed up multiple times to the Endoscopy center to see what was going on and every time we did it was sent to voicemail or they would have an excuse. It is disappointing to be receiving this treatment because in reality all they did was perform the procedure but didn’t do anything to treat the hemorrhoids. We will no longer be going back to this clinic. It was expensive but that was the least to our worries, we would had appreciated it if we received a better solution to treat this diagnosis. Thankfully we have found a better and much more professional health care center to treat this patients expectations.

Just had procedure done. Literally best nursing staff and best doctor I’ve experienced in a while. Dr. Hu, I highly recommend him. Very sincere and very knowledgeable. He really cares about his patients and you see that when you speak to him and see how he takes good care of his patients. Nurses were super chill and cool. All of them super pretty too. Great staff. Very professional and outgoing. Thank you guys for everything
