Procedures Performed

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

HemorrhoidectomySurgical removal of severe hemorrhoids that have not responded to banding or other office treatments. It is the most effective option and also the most uncomfortable — expect a recovery of a couple of weeks.FistulotomyAn abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the skin is opened and allowed to heal from the inside out. Fistulas do not close on their own, and healing is gradual — the open wound is left to fill in rather than being stitched shut.Anal Fissure RepairA small tear in the anal lining that has not healed with medication is treated, typically by relaxing the muscle spasm that keeps reopening it. Pain relief is usually substantial once the spasm cycle is broken.Colon PolypectomyA polyp is removed from the colon wall, usually during a colonoscopy. This is preventive care — most colon cancers begin as polyps, so removing them interrupts the process before cancer develops.Laparoscopic ColectomyA diseased segment of colon is removed through small incisions and the healthy ends rejoined. Used for cancer, diverticulitis, or inflammatory bowel disease, with faster recovery than open surgery.Rectal Prolapse RepairThe rectum has dropped through the anal opening and is returned to position and secured. Repair can be done through the abdomen or the anal approach, with the choice depending on age, health, and severity.
Hernia RepairTissue pushing through a weak spot in the abdominal wall is returned to place and the defect reinforced, usually with mesh. Hernias do not resolve on their own and gradually enlarge, so repair is typically recommended once symptoms appear.Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy)The gallbladder is removed through several small incisions, most often because gallstones are causing pain after meals. Digestion continues normally without it, though some people find fatty foods harder to tolerate for a period afterward.AppendectomyThe inflamed appendix is removed, usually laparoscopically and usually urgently, since a ruptured appendix is considerably more dangerous than an intact one. Recovery from an uncomplicated case is typically a week or two.HemorrhoidectomySurgical removal of severe hemorrhoids that have not responded to banding or other office treatments. It is the most effective option and also the most uncomfortable — expect a recovery of a couple of weeks.Skin Lesion RemovalA concerning or bothersome growth is cut away, usually under local anesthesia, and typically sent for pathology to confirm whether it is benign. The visit is short and most people return to normal activity the same day.Laparoscopic ProceduresSurgery performed through several small incisions using a camera and long instruments rather than one large opening. Compared with open surgery this generally means less pain, smaller scars, and a faster return to normal activity.

I didn’t like the treatment I received from Michael Kerns and would choose to go somewhere else next time.

Would give zero stars if possible. Dr. Kate a. Kollars is absolutely unprofessional. Dr. Kollars was angry/rude/upset at my spouse for rescheduling an appointment due to a debilitating chronic illness keeping her in bed, so Dr. Kollars decided to punish my wife by refusing to refill the medications my wife takes that are the only thing helping her chronic illness symptoms. She was clearly angry at my wife during the appointment, this was not being done for medical reasons. Her behavior was unacceptable.

Normally I don’t write reviews but felt like I should. I went to the imaging center for an ultrasound and from the moment I was called up to check in, the lady (short blonde-ish hair with glasses) was incredibly rude. She huffed and puffed the whole time she was entering my insurance information and practically threw the consent form at me during. I felt horrible because I never want to make someone’s job harder but I also know this was uncalled for. She made me very uncomfortable while standing there during the check in process. The whole waiting room was kind of in shock and silent which makes me wonder if this was others experiences prior to my arrival. I also work in healthcare with providers and understand the environment and frustrations that may come along with it, but your patients should never see that. On a positive note- Amy who did my ultrasound was awesome. Made me super comfortable and you could tell she is good at what she does. Even though it was a quick in and out appointment, she made me feel better.

I saw S.Watne which is Dr. Franklin's assistant. He is out of town so I thought why not? She has a medical degree. That was the biggest mistake I've ever made. I went in because I thought I had pink eye and I told her I was allergic to all topical antibiotics. I unfortunately Open the package and I smeared all this ointment all over my eyes and I thought this was weird. Did not be able to see. Then I discovered you prescribed a topical antibiotic. What is wrong with her? I should have wondered why my vision was so blurry. Then I discovered she prescribed a topical antibiotic after I specifically, I could not use that. I will never see her her again and I don't know if I'll go back to that office ever again.
