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.

Nurse Betty and nurse Carrie were so wonderful and so friendly. They also heat up the socks and blankets before they give it to you. I was treated very well and they had great music playing. I had such a great experience. I would come here again. I’m glad I waited to come to this facility. I forget the anesthesiologist name but she was also wonderful and humorous. I Was very relaxed. Thank you for everything!

This review is only in reference to the front desk woman, with long black wavy hair, on July 6th, 2023. She could truly use some training on how to be more hospitable to patients. She is not friendly at all, actually she is expressionless. She does not explain the paperwork or questions when asked. Some people may need a little extra compassion and explanation at times. Another woman was so kind to explain what was needed on the paperwork as the front desk person simply ignored the question. Also, constantly yelling out patient ready is off-putting. When using proper etiquette, people are addressed, in a kind way, by their name. I am sure she just does not know any better, however, just a few simple courses on proper etiquette, compassion and common courtesy would go a long way and help her improve in her patient facing role. Again, this review is not in reference to the facility, doctors or any care received.
