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.

I called to schedule an appointmentt and wanted to verif thaty were in network. The switchboard lady says billing would know. Billing lady said she can't find out and I should call insurance. I started to explain insurance lists many in network who don't accept my plan but she overtalked me. When I told her to listen first, she said I was rude and the switchboard would know. I said that lady sent me to her. She transferred mebut no one picked up. Called 3 times but was put on hold for more than 5 mins each time without an apology.

My first colonoscopy here 3 years ago went great. My recent experience was quite different. Although all staff were kind, every single provider rushed, rushed, rushed. I felt like I was in a factory. They took no consideration putting the IV in- just 7 seconds. It was positioned over a bone so everyone else I came in contact with touched it, causing a lot of pain. The recovery nurse wanted to go to lunch and so rushed me coming out of anesthesia. My driver caught me going head first toward the floor trying to get dressed. The GI doctor did not explain anything to me after as was the case last time. Please know that simply saying “take your time” doesn’t make a patient feel less rushed.

Great staff! Front desk, nurses, assistants and doctors not only are very professional but truly make you feel comfortable, understanding that patients arrive to the office scared, confused or simply worried. Highly recommend them.

Great experience! Everyone from the front desk to the surgeon were professional and personable. Want to say a person thank you to my nurse and anesthesiologist. They made me feel I was in good hands. Highly recommend!

The services were okay. This was my first colonoscopy ;therefore, I did not know what to expect. When doing my final briefing, I was told that I do not need to come back EVER for another colonoscopy. This seems like bad information being that I am 55 years old. I confirmed with my doctor and she stated that this is truly misinformation.
