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.

Today, I received my 3rd colonoscopy, first time at this office. I appreciate my concerns being addressed, the kind staff, and of course, Dr. Jeffers. She always gives an old school, no nonsense demeanor and I can dig it!! Thanks again ❤️❤️

I loved my entire experience here. I skip by several GI doctors to come here because I wanted a GI doctor who’s seasoned and been in the game a long time, and that’s Dr. Jeffers and she delivered just like I thought. The staff is professional, friendly, and just upstanding. They keep the office and room very clean and sanitized, like when you walk to the back all you smell is traces of Lysol! Wait times to see the doctor is not crazy long and the operation for the most part is ran very smoothly.

Dr. Jeffers and her staff are very professional and detailed. They continue to thoroughly explain my questions and any procedures I have had. I do have white coat anxiety but the staff does a remarkable job assisting me in calming down. They always treat me with care and concern. DR. JEFFERS AND HER STAFF ARE REMARKABLE. So glad that I have Dr. Jeffers as my doctor.

This is the second time I’ve had a procedure done at Westside Gastroenterology. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, on Dr Jeffers’ team are professional, patient, respectful and kind. Dr Jeffers is professional, calm and detailed in her approach to care & treatment.
