Procedures Performed

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

Epidural Steroid InjectionsSteroid medication is injected near irritated spinal nerve roots to calm inflammation causing sciatica or arm pain. Often used to make physical therapy tolerable rather than as a standalone cure. There are limits on how frequently they can be repeated.Nerve Block InjectionsAnesthetic, sometimes with steroid, is injected around a specific nerve to interrupt pain signals. Used both to treat pain and to identify its source, since relief from a precisely placed block points to the nerve responsible.Radiofrequency AblationHeat generated by radio waves disables the small nerves carrying pain signals from an arthritic spinal joint. Relief commonly lasts six months to two years. Because the nerves regenerate over time, the procedure can be repeated.Spinal Cord StimulationA device delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to interrupt chronic pain signals before they reach the brain. A temporary trial period is done first, so you can judge the benefit before committing to a permanent implant.Joint InjectionsSteroid or lubricating medication is injected directly into an arthritic or inflamed joint. Image guidance is often used to confirm placement. Relief typically lasts weeks to months and can make physical therapy more productive.Trigger Point InjectionsA local anesthetic is injected into a taut, tender knot of muscle to break the spasm-and-pain cycle. The appointment takes minutes and you can usually return to normal activity the same day.
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 Gastroenterologist is the best anyone can ask for. He is caring, answers all your questions, talks to you after the procedure and I HIGHLY recommend him. The Surgi Center As Staff are an amazing group of women who are caring, and are on the ball if you want anything and they always ask if you need anything. I HIGHLY recommend Endo Surgi Center

This was my second time coming here, and the service has been fantastic on both visits. My first procedure was a colonoscopy and my second was an endoscopy. The front-desk admins were very patient and walked me through all the paperwork without rushing. The nurses were excellent—gentle, attentive, and reassuring, especially when placing the IV and asking the pre‑procedure questions. The anesthesiologist was outstanding. He explained the medication he was administering and talked me through the entire process, which really helped put me at ease. Dr. Chirla is absolutely fantastic as well. Both times, I experienced no pain, and she was incredibly comforting when discussing her findings. I truly appreciate the level of care and professionalism from the entire team.

I was there to do a colonoscopy. After ten years of not having one done and the experience of the preparation, the instructions from the team and everything else went off perfectly. I recommend this location and all the workers there to anyone who wants to do a colonoscopy.It was incredible. After a while I woke up not realizing that I had gone to sleep.And I was in a deep sleep. The experience was a good one I highly recommend this location and all the doctors.

The surgery center was very clean. Some of the personnel were very nice particularly the intake people and a nursing assistant in the recovery room. Otherwise I was extremely disappointed with my experience. I have had multiple procedures done at this surgery center and was disappointed with the staff otherwise. They were too rushed and were overwhelmed by the number of patients that were to have procedures that day. Clearly, there was overbooking of the patients. Personal care and concern for my comfort and reassurance were not there. Everyone was too concerned with moving patients in and out. This was directly related to overbooking of the number of patients. Unfortunately, I had an argument with the anesthesia personnel as I had not been given the proper preoperative instructions. These preoperative instructions were not provided by the physicians office. There was no concern by the staff either professionally or the surgery center staff about upsetting me before a procedure. This was highly unprofessional. As a former surgeon, I would never upset my patient before undergoing the procedure. I essentially had to plead with the staff to not cancel the procedure because of their incompetence. Overall, my experience was not good, especially compared to my experiences before with this surgery center. I will not go to the surgery center again and may consider switching physicians who I’ve been acquainted with for 30+ years that is how upset I am. I will be happy to speak with anyone in charge at any time. Suffice it to say this was not a good experience.

Staff was amazing. Front desk was extremely friendly and made you feel comfortable which helps with the nervousness. I forgot his name but I think it was Anthony at the front. Cameron was a great nurse and helped me feel at ease. They were all wonderful people and it was a great experience. Thank you for making me feel comfortable and cared for.
