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.

The staff (from top to bottom) were outstanding. I was very informed on the steps of my procedure and the process felt like no stones were left unturned. I was very comfortable. Dr. Kogan has superb bedside manner and made me feel extremely confident in his expertise. 10/10 experience

I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy done here and had a great experience. My check in nurse Corinne put me at ease right away and was so kind and professional. She explained everything to me in simple terms without me even having to ask. She was warm and treated me with empathy. All of the nurses I encountered were so nice and caring. The anesthesiologist sat with me and explained everything, making me feel very taken care of. Dr. Kogan did my procedure and he is wonderful. He even put Christmas music on in the procedure room. The whole team from start to finish was very kind and made me feel very comfortable during an uncomfortable situation. I had almost no wait time and was communicated with throughout the whole process. Highly Recommend!

AMAZING Experience! I’ve honestly never written a review before, but after my experience at this facility for an upper endoscopy, I felt compelled to share. From start to finish, the care I received was exceptional. While I don't usually get nervous about much, this procedure definitely had me a little anxious. But the incredible team there made everything feel like a breeze. A special thank you to Nurse Amanda, who explained everything so clearly and made me feel calm and safe. There was another wonderful Amanda as well who contributed to the great experience. The anesthesiologist was incredibly reassuring, and I felt completely at ease in his hands. After the procedure, the nurse who took care of me was also kind and attentive. And of course, a HUGE thank you to Dr. Wazaz! While I hope I never have to go through this again, if I did, I would choose this facility and team over and over. Thank you so much!
