Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

Epidural Steroid InjectionsSteroid medication is injected near irritated spinal nerve roots to calm inflammation causing sciatica or arm pain. Often used to make physical therapy tolerable rather than as a standalone cure. There are limits on how frequently they can be repeated.Nerve Block InjectionsAnesthetic, sometimes with steroid, is injected around a specific nerve to interrupt pain signals. Used both to treat pain and to identify its source, since relief from a precisely placed block points to the nerve responsible.Radiofrequency AblationHeat generated by radio waves disables the small nerves carrying pain signals from an arthritic spinal joint. Relief commonly lasts six months to two years. Because the nerves regenerate over time, the procedure can be repeated.Spinal Cord StimulationA device delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to interrupt chronic pain signals before they reach the brain. A temporary trial period is done first, so you can judge the benefit before committing to a permanent implant.Joint InjectionsSteroid or lubricating medication is injected directly into an arthritic or inflamed joint. Image guidance is often used to confirm placement. Relief typically lasts weeks to months and can make physical therapy more productive.Trigger Point InjectionsA local anesthetic is injected into a taut, tender knot of muscle to break the spasm-and-pain cycle. The appointment takes minutes and you can usually return to normal activity the same day.
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.

Very poor customer service! I was scheduled for a 10:40 am procedure! I did not get taken back to the procedure room until 12:30 pm. After talking to staff, there were no emergencies, this is how the Dr. who performed the procedure books his schedule. How unfair & unprofessional is that? I not only got taken back almost 2 hours later, he didn’t explain any of his findings on discharge instructions. I had to have the nurse give me some handouts & explain. Absolutely no compassion from the Dr. who performed my procedure. I very strongly do not recommend this place of business!

I recently had a procedure at Grand Junction Endoscopy and cannot recommend the facility highly enough. The medical team is friendly, knowledgeable, and deeply experienced. They really know what they're doing, and they do their jobs with transparency and compassion. A Five Star facility.

I just had an EGD this morning, a follow-up after some findings at a previous exam in August 2022. Every time I have had colonoscopies and EGD's at this facility in the last several years my experiences have been excellent! I have been the patient of Dr. Masi Khaja since 2010. Now, as Dr. Khaja has moved in Austin, Texas, Dr. Joel Lans has performed the EGD for me, checking everything carefully and making the therapeutic plan and follow-up. We have discussed the details before the procedure and the findings after he finished it. From the telephone call from the billing a few days ago (they checked in advance with my insurance), to the reminder received by phone yesterday for the appointment, and to the checking-in this morning with excellent nursing, anesthesia and the procedure itself, it has been a very smooth, professional and friendly process!!! Thank you Dr. Khaja, thank you Dr. Lans, thanks to all the staff at the Endoscopy Center and see you again in 3 years! Tiberiu Doru Corduban

I recently had an upper GI done at the Endoscopy Center. 1. My physician showed that he cared about me as an individual and listened closely to the details of my condition. His expertise is superb and he spoke with me several times before and after the procedure. He was very clear in explaining test results and options. 2. The staff also demonstrated great care and kindness for their patients. They demonstrated a high level of knowledge they have about their duties. They were also very efficient. 3. The facilities were very clean and organized. I could not have asked for better in any of the areas.

I had to have a couple procedures done and was sent to this location. I have to say, the staff and Doctor were ALL Amazing. Everyone there put me at ease and humored me while I was nervous and worried. My 2 separate procedures were done and complete without any complications. Thank you to EVERYONE from the front desk to the medical team in back, and a BIG Thank you to the female anesthesiologist, I forgot her name, her sense of humor and personality really helped me to relax. Once again, I can't Thank You All enough for everything you did for me.
