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.

Called at 8:30am to get help for a severe flare, was told someone will call me back, called after 1, was told busy with other patients in clinical and might hear back after 3:15. so if you have been struggling for several days don't call here because you'll just be told to wait.

I saw the NP Amy Forrest and she was genuinely the most amazing practitioner i’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. She heard my concerns and set a plan to figure out the issue and made me feel confident in her.

Very well run and organized. Plenty of staff. Dr. Goldstein and his nursing and administrative staff made me feel welcomed and everything was efficient and I was in and out in an hour and a half including recovery from a Colonoscopy.

Dr. Marcuard did my wife's colonoscopy and about 10 months later he did mine. He was great, very professional and personable. The entire staff from the front desk to the nurses were great. They made us feel very comfortable. The entire process went very smoothly. I would highly recommend them!
