Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

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.

Absolutely do not go here if you struggle financially. They will treat you like garbage (but charge you a premium for it). I was charged the self pay rate of over $200 for a "doctor" to come in, immediately dismiss all of my symptoms and statements as "just anxiety", prescribed me a sleep aid for losing 20 lbs in 3 months (I now weigh 110 and dropping but ok) and told me verbatim "I won't bother ordering any tests, they're thousands of dollars you can't afford to have them". So I guess I'll just die...? Thanks, I'm so sick I can't work anymore, so $200 was a lot of money I could have used to get actual help, but I was desperate. Still am. Thanks for nothing, I hope someone sees this and chooses a different clinic that might actually help them. Don't come here.

Dr. Giday and the Anesthesiologist were great. The nurse practitioner, however, should be peer reviewed for negligence.

The colonoscopy went fine and everything went well until I had to call the office to get a refund for a system error that took my payment twice online . Their phone system need to be updated as the wait is too long and the line drops unexpectedly after you select the billing option. The other thing is that it can take up to 6 weeks to get a refund by check ! What era are they living in?? Their billing system needs some tweaking and update!

Dr. Mayoral and his nurse were superb. The anesthesia team, however, leaves something to be desired. I've had COUNTLESS outpatient procedures in my adult life. Last year in October was the last before this. I have NEVER felt the effects of anesthesia the next day and was always able to return to work (not physically, but mentally). I'm missing out on a $15,000 professional fee because i'm in a brain fog and can't respond to clients and external parties. I'M FURIOUS to be dismissed so callously by the office. It seems that i'm just another cog in their wheel. So much for the Hippocratic Oath. Much more of a HYPOCRITICAL Oath.
