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.

It was my first colonoscopy ever today and I was very nervous but from the staff at the front checking me in, to Eileen who explained process before starting, to Virginia (?) who meticulously inserted my IV, to my nurse who’s name escapes me that gave me my sedation, to Dr Gonda…they all made the procedure so much better than I thought it’d be. They took very good care of me and made sure I was warm and comfy. Sorry if I botched the names as I’m a little groggy still but I just wanted to say THANK YOU to them all for making this a comfortable experience when I was extremely nervous.

I was required to be there at 8:30 for my 9:30 procedure. I was taken in and prepared by Dr. Pedraza's assistant. She was wonderful! She got me all ready and started my I.V. Dr. Pedraza's nurse was very nice too as she took me into the procedure room. Dr. Pedraza was friendly and personable. It was as pleasant experience as it could be considering I was having a colonoscopy. Procedure takes maybe 20 minutes via twilight sedation then I was ready to be picked up at 10:30. Highly recommend the Ventura Endoscopy Center. I have been there twice and both times their medical staff were professional and my coloscopies went very well.

I had a colonoscopy this morning and everything went smoothly. This was my second experience at this facility. The staff was very professional and caring. My husband was permitted to stay with me until they took me back for the procedure. Dr. Lyche honored my request for “light sedation” so I could be awake during the procedure and watch on the monitor. The nurse in the procedure room was very reassuring, as I was nervous. I went home 30 minutes later. I highly recommend it.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! They are NOT Following the California Laws of no longer requiring masks and do not allow patients to have people with them!!!! Take your business to Channel Islands Surgery Center!! Or elsewhere so much nicer, and follow the laws and allow family and friends to wait with the patients until the go back
