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. Sharma is so knowledgeable, and compassionate. He is a true professional who has a well earned reputation by both doctors and patients. I have been to many GI doctors would only go to the best, dr. Sharma!

Mooooooooo. I thought that was appropriate since I was treated like cattle. I put two calls into the practice manager yesterday and left one message today. No call backs to resolve issues. Because patients don't matter to them

My husband came here for a Colonoscopy and I never want him to come back here again. The staff were cold and barely made eye contact with us. They need some major customer service training. The waiting area needs an upgrade to say the least. The chairs had no support and were broken. The waiting area restroom had no soap and when I told them about it, no-one went to fill it. Horrible experience.

I went here on 10/9/2025 for a endoscopy/biopsy. I was extremely scared, due to my medical anxiety, and was crying while in the prep bed. The nurse, Bonnie Fisher, was extremely kind and considerate when she noticed my fear and crying, and did everything within her power to make me feel better, down to even sitting across the hall from my room, watching me to make sure I was okay. I was scared of not waking up and she reassured me that I would, and she was there as soon as I did. Bonnie Fisher is one of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and deserves some kind of recognition for this. The entire team was amazing, but she made me feel immensely better and deserves her flowers for this. Bonnie, if you see this, thank you for being kind in a world where people seem to forget how far that goes.

From my check in to getting roomed for my procedure and my after care. All of the staff was efficient, professional and overall very welcoming. I felt in good hands and staff was on top of everything making sure I received the best care.
