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.

All aspects of the procedure were easy and smooth - from scheduling to check in to discharge. I was in and out very quickly with thorough information regarding results and post procedure instructions. Dr. Thompson and all staff I interacted with with friendly, professional and took the time to answer all questions. Highly recommend.

Carolina digestive was on point did a great job. Great follow up. Doctor Eric Thompson was informative, showed compassion and concern , showed great bedside manner. Wanted to know personal history not just From reading what was input but ask before Procedure. We will definitely be continuing with this practice and this doctor. They were quick in response whereas former practice that I had been going to didn’t respond when I was due my check up all the way back in July! Then in August I called them. They said they would get back to me still had not by beginning of October! so I went ahead and switched and scheduled. He did an excellent job with my wife And I was impressed with that so they met and exceeded my expectations. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Thompson is an amazing provider because he really cares about his patients. He takes the time to walk you through your plan of care, explaining what is necessary and welcoming feedback from the patient. You truly feel like it is a "we" partnership with the patient's needs at the center. Thank you Dr. Thompson for the more than 5 years that my family and I have had the pleasure of having you guide us through our care.
