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.

Overall this place is great! I got a refferal from my doctor with them. I went to go check on my refferal in person since I didn't receive a call from them. I was able to get in with the doctor the same day. Due to some issues with my digestion my endoscopy was pushed up sooner. They notified me and explained everything thoroughly. This was my first ever procedure being put under. It went smoothly as they took great care of me and explained everything. I'd highly recommend this place the nurses and doctor Churchill are fantastic!

My screening was flawlessly done from start to finish and in two hours as promised. Dr. Saslow and his team of nurses worked like a well oiled machine. They were all professional, efficient, pleasant, and compassionate. I felt well cared and valued and they are serious about Covid precautions. I appreciated the warm blankets I was offered and the facility was clean. I am grateful for their hard work and preventative services during difficult times.

Friendly and professional- they made an unpleasant procedure the best it could be. The nurses had the best bedside manner and made me feel comfortable. Even though I am always nervous when having a medical procedure done, their friendly banter made me feel as though I was among friends. Thank you!!!

I was referred here for a gastro issue. The staff was friendly and walked me through the process. I was nervous, but I felt like I was in good hands. Would I come back to this place? Yes. The experience was as great as it could possibly be!
