Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

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.

Called with some concerns and was trying to understand if I should go to ER or Urgent Care. The woman who answered the phone was very cold, cut me off, and talked to me like I was a child. Definitely will not be pursuing this office as my new primary GI doctor, and I would not bother asking any questions as they do not care.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS FOR YOUR HEALTH!!! If Google allowed negative scores, this place would not be worthy of 1-star. The doctors here do not seem to care at all about finding reasons for GI issues. They constantly push this absurd FODMAP diet over and over, even when it doesn't work!!!!! The greatest insult is having to BEG for tests and imaging when that stupid diagnostic diet has done nothing. One doctor actually wrote up my issues as over use of NSAIDS even though I told him MULTIPLE times I do not use them. To top it all off, when you finally get them to order imaging, they LITERALLY tell you they can't see you for a results appointment for 5 MONTHS due to lack of doctors. I asked, "if they see something serious, I'll at least get a phone call?" and she couldn't say Yes, that I would. FIVE MONTHS!!!!! Imagine the damage to your body over 5 months if something is wrong. I stupidly did not change for YEARS, and kept going back here to be ignored over and over. Don't make the same mistake I did. TH may be great for other specialties (Neuro), but this GI practice may cause you your health!

Procedure was quick, less than an hour, compassionate and I was able to walk out feeling perfectly fine afterward which was different from past experiences at a different facility. All staff was warm and helpful. I appreciated the care and the quick results.

This should really be zero stars. The way that they have mismanaged my husband's care is mind blowing. Incompetent staff who do not know how to do their job. No one returns calls and no one seems to care about you. Because of their errors, my husband's symptoms have worsened and we have been to the ER (neither of which the doctor cares about as displayed by her failure to return any phone calls regarding this). His colonoscopy that showed Chron's disease was three and a half weeks ago and he has yet to start any medication. The doctor's office incorrectly filled out paperwork for insurance on multiple occasions, failed to connect the doctor to my husband's MyChart, therefore delaying any communication, and has not phoned in medication to the pharmacy even though they said they would. This place should be sued for malpractice. I have never seen something as horrific and truly awful as this.

If you’re late more than 10 minutes, they won’t let you in and ask you to reschedule (that is provider’s policy). But if you are on-time and have to wait 25-30 mins to see your doctor because they are working with the previous patient….then that is ok. If you don’t want to wait you can leave and find different place.!. Good luck!
