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 love to have the experience that everyone is writing about but no one answers the phone, and no one returns messages. I didn’t even get a response through the text option

Pros: Had my colonoscopy on Monday. The surgeon (Dr E Wolf) came in to check on me in the rear waiting room prior to surgery and again just prior to doing the procedure to see if I had questions. (Such a warm spirit) Was very caring in his demeanor. My surgical nurse was excellent ( Katie) very sweet, bubbly , and kindly explained my procedure when asked) Told her my blood sugar was low and she immediately checked me and found that it was and put in a IV of sugar water. She got me comfortable and ready for my procedure. She is a great example of what a nurse should be. Cons: the elderly woman (w/f) at front check-in desk is not a people person. She probably should seek other employment.

The entire process of scheduling, checking in, and having a screening colonoscopy went very smoothly, and the entire team was so helpful and efficient every step of the way. Dr. Parker was awesome, He took the time to explain the process, what to expect, answered questions, and reviewed his findings at the end. Merrie, CRNA, was also great. She explained everything she was doing, and helped me feel at ease and safe for the sedation. I want to mention Sierra, RN, who is an awesome nurse. I appreciated her efficiency, thoroughness, and her skill of getting an IV in so easily despite being a hard stick! Highly recommend!

The good care received made the best of the procedure. The nurses in pre- and post-op were fabulous. Front desk staff was ok, they were running an hour behind and no one told my ride that so he was left to wonder if I was ok.
