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.

I had a couple different procedure's there last year they never overbilled me they told me everything up front they weren't sure what my co-pays were they billed me after one procedure was $250 the next procedure was free of copay my insurance said it falls under wellness check they never pressured me for money up front or after the staff in the front and the back were very respectable and very professional! They even have a board set up in the lobby to let you know when your doctor is in and if he's running on time! Would go back there anytime Long Island Digestive and Dr persky advise me to!

Please do not give this office your copay in advance. I was told I needed to provide a $2000 copay for service. After finding out the office overbilled me nearly a 1000 dollars, it took over 6 months for them to refund the money after a three way call with my insurance company. Then the office didn't refund the agreed upon amount. They will not return calls and will not be accountable to any problems.

Arrived at the facility only to learn that I had a $2000 deductible. I as well as a previous reviewer could have had the procedure done at Mather with no cost to me. After refusing the procedure I called my Dr. Office. The woman in the billing dept. said “she would have refused the procedure as well”. She began to tell me how the facility never informs the patients prior to there arrival of any out of pocket expenses. She also said the the Dr. has nothing to do with the facility and can’t control how business is conducted. Later in the day they called to tell me that I could reschedule the procedure at Mather hospital. I let the office know that my new Dr. would perform the procedure at Mather hospital as he is no longer my Dr. And as far as Advanced Surgical center goes they should be shut down for there dirty practices and what appears to be a scam.
