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 would avoid this doctor and his practice at all costs. He has no bedside manor and is generally rude. He is the worst example of the good old boy's doctor network. I would also urge anyone considering employment here to give a long thought if you want to deal with someone this bad. I think it won't be a good place to work!

Dr. Stout and staff provide excellent quality care at a very reasonable price. Had a lower endoscopy. Scheduling, arrival and post procedure were quick and easy. Dr. Stout is an excellent physician. I was in and out in less than 2 hours including post op care. Highly recommend.

I have been a patient of Dr Stouts for almost 30 years. In my early 20s he diagnosed and repaired an issue that had been causing me pain and problems for 2 years. I'd seen 4 other Drs prior to him and no one else was able to diagnose. I have seen him for routine colonoscopies since then (probably 20 times) and he is amazing; knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. I never have any of the discomfort that I hear people talk about. Since it isn't a hospital, it's a quicker in and out.

I've been to the office before & had a good experience, but as of recent I'm not sure what is going on. Within the last 3 months I've called twice about my referral from my doc to have a scope done, and they keep telling me that "the doctor isn't seeing patients right now, that they are waiting for new PPE equipment to arrive.". ...Anyone else having this same experience?

He is a amazing doctor and is doing everything he can for my wife. She has had a endoscopy and a colonoscopy which she had amazing care for. He’s been running test after test to try and help my wife which she has deep apperception for because she is feeling very miserable. The nurses and office staff are also amazing and very nice and have always been very sweet and respectful to her to make her feel as comfortable as possible. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
