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 Jennifer Meyer has taken care of me for about 7 years or more. She is very nice to me and is always on top of what I need for my better health. And she let's me know when I'm doing better!

This was my first vist to GI of the Rockies and I was very impressed with the facility and the staff. Dr. Christin was very thorough and gave me ample time to ask any questions that I had as he examed me and afterward. He also explained the followup that he recommended and the whys and wherefores.

I don't write very many reviews, but I just want to express how pleased I was with this practice and Dr. Dobin!  As a colon cancer survivor, I've probably had 10 or 12 colonoscopies over the years and the experience at this practice was one of the best! Everyone was super nice and very professional.. I felt cared for and they went above and beyond to make me comfortable.  Dr. Dobin was very knowledgeable and had some great suggestions for me and my family.... he met with me before and after to answer any questions.  The facility was very nice, organized, and super clean!  I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Dobin!
