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 customer service is terrible at the front desk so they get the 1 star. The staff in the back get the 5 stars. They made my front desk experience a lot better so thank you.

I had a colonoscopy last Friday at Endoscopy Center of DE. I felt comfortable from the moment I arrived. The receptionist, who was taking care of another person greeted me with a smile, then asked me to sign in and have a sit; adding, that my name would be called shortly. I really appreciated her acknowledgement that I was standing there. After the initial signing in, my name was called briefly to go back . Everyone made sure I was the right person and that I had followed the preparation schedule. Besides the individual attention what impressed me was the team work and how each staff member greeted each other as though they were a family.😊 I was nervous, but this actually helped me to calm down because I felt like I was in a place where people actually liked their jobs. I did take off 1 star since I had a hard time making contact with a live person to discuss a concern days prior to the procedure. But, I think maybe the phones were messed up as the recording wouldn't let me hold when I called back a second time, but hung up on me saying " you're already scheduled for a call back. Anyway, when I did talk to someone, they made me feel that my concern about a medication was valid, but they assured me I was okay to continue with the procedure and I'm glad I did.

I was a little nervous and had some questions but after talking to Cynthia my nurse and Dr. Modi I felt comfortable. The staff was nice, the holding area and my procedure room was clean. I want to thank Dr. Modi, Cynthia and Sarah(nurses) also Teri the anesthesiologist who was nice and caring. One thing that was wrong was they stated I had a right knee replacement and no one called me back after I call in about the error. Keep up the good work, we need caring people like you.
