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.

My husband just had a procedure done here and we can’t say enough great things about the people and facilities. We got there 1 1/2 early for the appointment and they had no trouble getting him in quickly. He didn’t even feel the iv going in. Wonderful and trustworthy facility and professional staff

I cannot recommend this facility enough! I have had three colonoscopies here, and each time the experience has been outstanding. The entire team—from admissions to the nurses and doctors—is top-notch and provides truly personalized care. If you need a procedure done, this is the place to go.

Overall, a smooth, efficient and professional service. I got there 30 minutes ahead of the scheduled procedure as requested. Intake went quickly. However, I was taken in the prepare for the colonoscopy about 20 minutes after it was scheduled, and I did have to wait a bit to start the procedure. I attributed the weight to the usual delays around medical procedures. The nurses were very nice and professional. And Dr. Richard Curtis, who I've been seeing for several years now, was as usual, very professional and caring. I would highly recommend Dr Curtis and his staff for any gastro intestinal procedure.

Kind and friendly staff. All are very professional, patient and attentive. Every step of the process feels comfortable and welcoming. High praise to the anesthesia nurse who took extra time to answer many questions and explain every step. I am very thankful for BEC and all of their staff.

The Boston Endoscopy Center at 175 Worcester St., Wellesley, MA is truly a cut above even the best of medical practices and facilities. I've had two colonoscopy screenings with Dr. Levitzky and his fantastic team. They are exceptional in every detail of a patient's experience and as highly professional as they are personable and warm. These people really care about the patient and providing excellent patient care with unheard of follow-up where they call and text to make sure you are feeling well after the procedure. They are a well-oiled machine and will treat you with the kindness and respect that are so crucial to creating the trust that makes for peace of mind. In the mission of prevention and treatment of Gastroenterology healthcare, they will give you the best medical care available, and you know that the moment you go to the front desk. I highly recommend them. Most grateful.
