Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

Epidural Steroid InjectionsSteroid medication is injected near irritated spinal nerve roots to calm inflammation causing sciatica or arm pain. Often used to make physical therapy tolerable rather than as a standalone cure. There are limits on how frequently they can be repeated.Nerve Block InjectionsAnesthetic, sometimes with steroid, is injected around a specific nerve to interrupt pain signals. Used both to treat pain and to identify its source, since relief from a precisely placed block points to the nerve responsible.Radiofrequency AblationHeat generated by radio waves disables the small nerves carrying pain signals from an arthritic spinal joint. Relief commonly lasts six months to two years. Because the nerves regenerate over time, the procedure can be repeated.Spinal Cord StimulationA device delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to interrupt chronic pain signals before they reach the brain. A temporary trial period is done first, so you can judge the benefit before committing to a permanent implant.Joint InjectionsSteroid or lubricating medication is injected directly into an arthritic or inflamed joint. Image guidance is often used to confirm placement. Relief typically lasts weeks to months and can make physical therapy more productive.Trigger Point InjectionsA local anesthetic is injected into a taut, tender knot of muscle to break the spasm-and-pain cycle. The appointment takes minutes and you can usually return to normal activity the same day.
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 nurses are “PHENOMENAL” !!! Dr. G. Explains everything so I can understand what he’s saying as he’s doing the procedure. My pain level has gone from a 10+ down to a 1-2. Huge difference in my pain. Highly recommended.

I’ve been with LIP since 2015 & I’ve always been treated with respect & kindness by everyone. I have chronic pain due to multiple spinal issues. Unfortunately after 2 major spinal surgeries I still have severe pain. Which is the reason that I began & I’m still seeing Dr. G & his staff for pain management. I really love the Christian music that’s played through the intercom. I know that God is always the one in control of my life, and I’m also think that he created physicians & healthcare workers to help us when we need medical assistance in life too.

There’s not enough time for me to tell you what a true blessing Dr G and Dr Mat has been to me. If you’re dealing with real chronic pain and you need someone who really cares and can do great miracles with shots and also meds as needed. Then Dr. G And his staff is the right place. I truly could not have the life I have without them. I’ll make sure they’re on my insurance before I change insurance companies.. They are that important to me. I am probably 1 of his oldest patients.over 20 years And still think he’s the best for me no doubt. I don’t live as a zombie on meds. if that tells you anything then you understand why he’s so important to me . The care. The knowledge the common sense approach that Dr. G and his staff has is above any pain Dr I have ever seen . something so many Pain Dr’s don’t get . I want to live and enjoy my life as much as possible with my circumstance, and Dr. G and his staff gives that to me.I hope this helps you know this is the wright place for you.

Tl;dr: long term patient of Lanier. I think they are great and I would recommend them without reservation! I have been going to Lanier for about 5 years and seeing Dr. John Givogre and Matt Dovie, PA. I have a chronic illness, and I was not in a great place when I found Lanier. I will admit that I’m not an easy patient, as my illness and treatment can be complicated. Understandably, many overworked physicians often didn’t have sufficient time or energy to give me the care I needed to really improve. While Lanier does see many patients, I am always given the time I need to address my issues and I always feel seen, validated, and respected (occasionally they run a tiny bit behind, but I always know it’s because they are giving all of us the time we need). Throughout my time there, I have been able to discuss many standard/straightforward therapies, as well as some that are less conventional. After these discussions, not all of the possible therapies get pursued, but I know they will hear me out even if they advise against certain therapies in the end. Over these years, all the treatments (excluding a couple that didn’t do much but were still helpful for our understanding of my conditions) have added up, and have led to a level of functioning that I had feared to even dream possible. I will always have a chronic illness, but managing it is no longer the only thing I do. I am slowly building back more of an identity outside of my illness and my bed and I am so happy. I wouldn’t be at this point without Dr. Givogre, Matt, their wonderful nurses, and their patient admin. I’m so grateful and comforted to have them by my “side” on the ups and downs -both past and likely future- of my journey. I cannot recommend them enough.
