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.

Doctors are ok, but nurses and scheduling staff and billing department haven't got a clue. Had one department billing me but not a single person I ever reached on the phone could tell me what it was for. I was advised to ignore it until they then wanted to turn it over to a collection department. They hold your medications hostage until you come see them for a checkup, but they never contact you to tell you that you need to come in, then are very rude when contacted t see what is happening. Very unprofessional staff and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Terrible follow-up - records not sent to referring MD, prescription never sent to Pharmacy- took many tries to schedule an appointment, finally did so I person, however, Nurses and the Dr.’s were wonderful. Scheduling and medical records get a rating of zero. Need a good Administrator and all new non-professional staff.

This review is regarding the Riverside location. Today after being scheduled for an appointment we arrived and were told the appointment was rescheduled for some reason but no real explanation as to why and why we got NO notification. The front desk receptionist is rude. She lacks in compassion and critical thinking skills, which someone in patient facing position should have. The scheduling department offered no explanation or apology and needless to say we won't be returning to this horrible office. Nobody deserves to be treated they way they treat patients here.

Nurse practitioner Bodenstab is genuinely worthless. I went to her in August with being told that I probably have fatty liver disease but not really knowing what that meant. I waited more than a month to get in and to be told nothing about the disease except lose weight. Like a simple google search didn’t tell me that. I was told to go get a certain scan. They had me sit with someone in their office to schedule it and while she was doing that she was also scrolling on TikTok and acted like my existence was annoying to her. I was never called with the results. I had to go find them myself and google what they meant. I’ve never received a follow up call or anything. I essentially paid money to go to a not doctor to tell me to stop being fat and there’s nothing else she could do. No recommending a dietitian and when I asked about weight loss meds she just said we don’t do that here. No referrals, nothing. Bedside manner awful and care was worthless. I’m a 26 year old with a disease that could really damage my life and health and was given no resources. She shouldn’t practice medicine. This was the worst medical experience I’ve had as an adult.

I receive excellent care from the medical staff and non-medical staff at the North Oak Office, KCMO. My G.I. doctor has changed through the years only because they are not at the practice anymore. Currently I have been seeing Dr. Thomas Shireman and I have faith and trust in him where my health is concerned. All the staff are kind, friendly, caring, eay to talk to and professional.
