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 recently had a colonoscopy at IGA in Meridian, Idaho. The entire staff, front desk, and support personnel were very efficient and helpful. Communications are excellent as they call prior to see if any questions or concerns and follow up after surgery. Dr Otsu-Jensen completed the procedure. She explained the procedure and asked if I had any questions. Her manner is very calming and reassuring. Would highly recommend this center.

Kirsten Morigeau was wonderful. She seemed truly sincere and caring. Dr.Morigeau could sense that I was nervous about the procedure, but made me feel more at ease by the time she was ready to get started.

At IGA in Meridian, everyone is very friendly and wants to help you and take care of you. Dr. Bisbal has a great bedside manner as well as everyone else there. You might go in nervous, but by the time you go in for the procedure you will feel at ease. They are definitely compassionate about their job and their patients.

Dr. Jaeger was amazing! Her and her team made me feel very comfortable and helped take away the nerves. They are so good at what they do that I don’t remember getting drowsy. I highly recommend her! She’s the best!

I had an excellent experience. Everyone I dealt with from checking in, the nurses and the doctor was great. Dr. Matt Sericati was kind and good at letting me know what the process entailed. Everyone was very compassionate and I felt comfortable during the entire visit.
