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.

I just finished my endoscopy and the staff was 10 out of 10 hands-down the best I’ve ever received every single one of them was so nice and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and secure and happy, especially since I had anxiety for my first ever endoscopy, and even after they walked me all the way to the car and made sure I was okay and gave me beverages and kept checking in with me and the doctor went over everything that he saw in the endoscopy as well. I would 1000% recommend this place to absolutely anybody and I can say with 100% confidence that you will be taken care of and that you could put your trust in them. And I am also just writing all of this after coming out of anesthesia lol.

I had an endoscopy yesterday. The people here were amazing! I was greeted by a friendly gentleman who gave me warm blankets. The other staff were so friendly and put me at ease. They sang Happy Birthday to me when I was wheeled into the endoscopy room. Dr. Jamil was very nice and answered all my many questions. I would definitely recommend it here.

I was nervous but Nurse Kathy was excellent and made me feel so relaxed and like a princess when I went for my procedures. It was evident that she enjoyed her job and cares about the patients. In fact everyone there were wonderful and caring. They are pleasant and efficient and they make you feel like you are important. My doctor was great too, fully explained the results and I highly recommend St Francis GI facility on 360 Bloomfield Ave. the day after my procedures, they called to see how I was feeling. Thank you so much to all of you for taking such good care of me!

Had a great visit this morning with Dr. Jamil for a colonoscopy. Although I was somewhat anxious initially, that feeling went away as soon as Dr. Jamil and the staff began prepping me for the procedure. Everyone was very pleasant and professional, everything was explained to me. Everyone was genuinely interested in my health and wellness, it was very reassuring and calming!
