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.

Pt scheduling is very difficult and time consuming. Avgerage wait times are 45 minutes and a scheduler didn't call back as promised. Some nurses are very competent and caring. Others are not knowledgeable and assume without wanting to ask your physician about the prep products. The prep products work differently on each patient. Communication could be improved by the team and compassion towards the patient. My biggest issue is that Kevin, pre-op nurse who called me prior to the procedure, told me I could eat a light breakfast prior to my procedure since it was scheduled late in the day. This is a big NO, NO! Pt could aspirate during the procedure. Fortunately, having a nursing background I knew better and didn't do as he said. Hopefully, this won't happen to another patient in the future. Still waiting to hear back from the nurse supervisor for this unit.....

Have been to Glehmen Lehman several times for my Barrett’s Esophagus Treatment's and everyone there is so friendly and helpful. Had it not been for Dr. William Kessler I could be in bad condition right now. He took care of me and did what needed to be done and I now have a clean bill of health. Great Surgeon and a great team of health specialist.

Had my 2nd scope in 5 yrs here. From the front desk staff on everyone was just so friendly, and that is so important and reassuring to the patients. It couldn’t have been any better. Such an amazing atmosphere, just imagine what their holiday party is like. Invite me!

I want to shout out to nurses Erin, Michelle, and Novie and Dr Rex. Each of Erin, Michelle, and Novie went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable. I decided to go ahead with my GI screening procedure despite my arm in a cast. These ladies found me extra pillows for my arm, kept my company while they worked and generally made me feel cared for and welcome. I avoid sedation so I had a chance to meet each of these 3 ladies during my visit. You made it as enjoyable as such things can be! Dr Rex continues to be my GI doctor of choice- talked me through the procedure and what we were seeing. Thank you thank you thank you!

Our experience there could not have been better. The care from the team was great. We were so impressed that they acknowledged our travel to Indianapolis for care, and thanked us for choosing them. Michelle and Jeff were top notch as was the rest of the team.
