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.

A good overall experience (if that can be said of a colonoscopy). Nice staff and physicians. Clean, well-organized office, but bear in mind, they do a VOLUME business. Prep instructions could use some diagrams (or simply less math or measurements consistent with brands recommended). Overall Grade :A

I have visited this office twice within the last five years. Both times have been very good. Good visits. The office staff is very kind and friendly. The nurses and doctors are great. They seemed very personable and caring. I felt completely comfortable and safe in the atmosphere. I recommend coming here. I will be coming here again for my next visit. The procedures went very smoothly. Recovery time is very short and you are well taken care of. Dr. Michael Harris was my attending doctor. Thank you all for taking good care of me while I was there.🙏🏼

I was treated wonderful from the moment I arrived. I felt like I was important and they wanted my experience to be good. The nurses were great, friendly and efficient. The anathesialogist was friendly and compassionate and the doctor very knowledgeable and informative. They were all very caring. My experience was great. That's saying a lot considering I was having a colinoscopy.
