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.

Dr. Sanford and her staff were amazing. She explained my procedure and allowed me time to ask questions. My colonoscopy was performed in a manner that exceeded my expectations. My CRNA LaToya was amazing as well. She explained her role to me and put me at ease. I would recommend this team for all your GI needs.

What an amazing staff!! The receptionist who checked me in was very friendly and explained everything I was signing really well. Chelsea was the intake nurse and she made me feel so comfortable. Her wonderful disposition eased any anxieties I was having. Dr Osborn was phenomenal!! He was very professional and, although very busy, clearly takes genuine interest and concern with each patient. The discharge nurse (I forget her name…I was very groggy) was super patient and pleasant. I could tell they truly cared for their patients in every sense of the word. If I could give them a 6th star, I would!
