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.

My “procedure” went so well I felt the need to do a review. I didn’t get taken back until 20 min after my appointment but everything from that point was quick and easy. Recovery was the easier I’ve ever had and I was out the door in 75 minutes.

Well, I’m not sure how much technology is needed for a camera up the backside other than a having a great Dr. I’m really surprised this place uses pens and not #2 pencils. However I let them know my insurance runs out in a few days and they were able to see me very fast! The care there was nice and I can’t remember the nurse’s name (Ariel or Ariana?) but she was amazing and very helpful too!

i have been a patient here for about 15 years and I tip my hat for the aec team always striving to provide consistent individualized humanistic care, and doing so in a person-centered way rather than treating me like one of a million people such as larger hospital settings where you feel like their goal is to churn you through as fast as possible and bill as much as possible. I love aec because i feel as though their goal is to do best job possible and they do not prioritize dollars over people. It is precisefly the opposite!

Dr. Frausier is someone who’s ALWAYS going to LISTEN to a patients concerns and treat them accordingly with respect. I was very nervous before endoscopy and they made me comfortable. The staff and himself are kind, caring, friendly. Would recommend anyone to consider him and the practice 10/10
