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.

Dr Riegler and his team are exceptional and a great example of medical care. By planning ahead, you’ll receive clear and thorough communication, caring nurses and a front office team that are committed to quality patient care. After my procedure the follow up has been fantastic. Thank you TEC.

I highly recommend Templeton Endoscopy Center. Right from the start, the communication, scheduling, and instructions were very clear. The staff was all great at the front desk, to my prep nurse, to my anesthesiologist, to my after care nurse. My personal Doctor (Zovich) took care of me through the procedure. I was very well attended to. Lots of TLC, efficient and professional.

I was impressed with the whole experience, it all went very smoothly. The one thing I would like to see happen is that as I was on my left side when the doctor came in to introduce himself he stayed on my back side so meeting him I had to turn my head over my right side to see him. In previous times the doctor always came around to my side to introduce himself. All in all I was pleased with the experience.
