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 staff was very friendly and incredibly compassionate. Kim was amazing with my wife and I after my wife's procedure. They were very attentive and informative every step of the way. When it is my turn for a procedure, I will happily come to this facility!

I found all of the staff I encountered to be skilled, helpful and courteous. My nurses were: Christine, Lauren and Lindsey. CRNA’s we’re Wendy and Yamir. Procedures by Dr deJongh. Absolutely no discomfort and was “asleep” for the whole thing. Absolutely no complaints.

My husband and we’re scheduled for a colonoscopy. He on one day (5.23 .23) and me on the following day(5.24.23). From the minute we stepped into the building to minute we were ushered out following our procedure, we each had an awesome experience. They were timely—hardly any waiting one day and a 15 minutes or so wait, the other day AND the appointments were still a little ahead of our scheduled time! The support staff, EXCELLENT, ALL! Dr. Mis was our physician and he has the best, most easy-going disposition ever! He is patient, plain-spoken, knowledgeable, and confident. He speaks with you before and after your procedure. (And ladies, he’s kinda cute 😉).
