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 saw Dr. Jerry Markar for a new patient visit at UCLA Pain Management. The appointment lasted approximately 5–10 minutes and included a very brief physical exam. No treatment was provided; I was advised to obtain an MRI. The visit was billed as a high-level consultation (CPT 99244), resulting in a significant out-of-pocket charge.( They billed Insurance $1,100 and $390 out-of-pocket bill for us) I requested a coding review, which was ultimately declined based on physician documentation time. Patients should be aware of how brief visits may be coded and billed. I would avoid.

Such a nice clinic. Well organized, amazing staff, from front desk to the tech assistant. The place feels like a whimsical Harry Potter castle, rooms are clean, you have your own locker too. I was in and out in one hour. I would def recommend to anyone. ⭐️ PS: If you are a new patient and don’t want any delays on your appointment, make sure you email or upload your last appointment images on the uclq health chart or have your old Dr send those to UCLA or office. You can also pick the CD if you got it done with Kaiser or have them send it trough. Call them in advance. The office needs those in order to proceed with your appointment, FYI. Get your homework done before arriving on your appointment date. 📅

Have never felt so attended to, this staff is amazing. Didn't even have to ask for a blanket, they brought me two warm ones. Thank you Dr Haghighat, Dr Miller, and amazing staff.

Interior design is amazing, it feels so much more comfortable instead of the traditional sterile doctors offices. Staff was friendly and efficient, was in and out under an hour.

It’s the best facility I visited among all the other UCLA imaging centers. It’s so beautifully done up, the waiting room is very plush, well decorated and comfortable seating. Apart from the waiting area inside too is tastefully done up. The staff is extremely friendly. I came for a CT and then a Mammogram. Also the location is great. I give 5 stars for this facility.
