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. Mackler and his team are wonderful! From the time I walked in the door and exited, Jessica, Christa, Courtney, Dr. Griffin, Tori, and Heather took awesome care of me. I had a rough few months! Back in April, I had an EGD and Colonoscopy, and during the procedures, my oxygen saturation level dropped due to me having bouts of asthma exacerbation related to the outside pollen. Dr. Mackler and his team were very informative about the measures taken to assure my safety and comfort while under anesthesia. They all closely observed me in recovery and checked on me by phone 24 hours after the procedures. A+ for Professionalism, Cleanseliness & Patient Advocacy!!

This is the place to go. The center is staffed by highly skilled professionals. Dr. Mackler and Dr. Griffin are compassionate doctors. They talk to you not at you. The welcoming atmosphere and professional care provided at Seaford Endoscopy Center contributes to a positive experience for patients undergoing endoscopic procedures. Reviews are one’s opinion and every once in a while, I get on the soapbox and write one.

Dr. Mackler and his staff, at his main office and the Seaford Endoscopy Center, were excellent. I could not have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Mackler to others and will revisit for my own future visits.

If you are looking for a facility for a colonoscopy or endoscopy, look no further. The people at the Seaford Endoscopy Center are the best. The facility is in pristine condition. Heather welcomed me and explained what I needed to do. Drs. Mackler and Griffin were wonderful, as well as Tracy. Christa took good care of me during the recovery. Excuse me if I forgot anyone. These are such caring people and I am thankful for them.

A well-run operation where everyone is considerate, polite, efficient and professional. Dr. Mackler provides excellent documentation of his work and I have full trust in his care. Please get your colonoscopy! The prep isn't fun but neither is colon cancer!
