Procedures Performed

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

Gastroenterology (GI Surgery)6
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 my second Colonoscopy procedure with in six months. Dr. Rosenberg is the best! He takes his time and explains the results of the test clearly. Aside from the staff being very professional I found the staff very warm and friendly.

Such a wonderful office. Dr. Sinosia and her amazing staff were beyond delightful. This has been the best doctor's office I've ever been to. Such a knowledgable, skillful, compassionate, and truly caring group of individuals. I felt respected as a patient, and appreciated for my decision on choosing this amazing team/office. The entire office is great, I don't know how they do it, but they do. Huge token of gratitude to all involved in my lovely experience. I apologize in advance for any misspelling. Thank you.

The first person I met was Robin at 7:15 am. It was pretty routine until she asked me for my insurance cards. I forgot them. She assured me it was ok and went out of her way to find them in the system. Great! I next met Lori who began the prep, etc. Wonderful. She listened to all my nervous babbling and was so patient with my questions. Dr. Thomas came in and explained the anesthesia part of the situation and also engaged me with my banter and questions. Finally, I met Dr. Hong. What a mensch! Came in, explained the procedure, joked a bit. The next thing I knew, I woke up and met Katie. Katie got me some Lorna Doone cookies and made me coffee! My stars, what a wonderful time I had getting my colonoscopy. Wish I could give 6 stars!
