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.

Dr. Kubik is an excellent doctor. I can tell he cares deeply about his patients. He asks questions and explains things in ways that you can understand. I would recommend him to anybody.

I had my first routine colonoscopy with digestive consultants today. I can't say enough about the staff and doctors at this facility. Very polite and nice facility. Would definitely recommend, if you have to have it done to go through their office.

I've already waited an hour past my appointment time. I found out I'll see a nurse practitioner instead of Dr and this is my first visit. I used Dr choudri 14 years ago and I loved this office but I don't care for the way they are doing things now!! I came to see Dr Choudri and at the first visit he should see the patient,I don't feel comfortable with this

I went for my first visit, I was referred by my doctor. Had to wait over an hour to be seen. The staff was very very rude and have attitudes, especially Katie, the woman upfront, checking you in and the lady scheduling the appointments in the back I will not be back to this doctor. I told them I did not want to schedule the procedure, that I will go to Valdosta. Doctor Choudhri walked past me twice and didn’t even speak! I never leave reviews but this one was a MUST. This office needs a few adjustments, especially in customer service!

I love Dr. Kubick but his office manager is a crook. I was charged a co-pay that my insurance paid 100%. I understand the co-pay but was explained that I would get it back. My procedure was done December 29th when I spoke with Sandra Kicklighter at the end of March she said its policy that they have to wait 90 days to send out over payment back to the patient because insurance will retract sometime and I understand that. I have called the the office daily and she will not even take my call or my messages I had one of the nurses there to tell me personally this is an on going problem that they have been having so my HR at my job has filed a formal complaint against this office and with my insurance even if I don't get my money back she don't deserve to work for such good doctors and ripping people off.
