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 colonoscopy procedure done today & I was nervous & a little scared at first but The staff here are phenomenal from entry with Jasmin & prep w/ Alice RN and They make you feel comfortable. They are very nice, informative, & there was great music playing that made you feel at ease. Dr. You is a great doctor as he is personable, professional & intelligent & you couldn’t ask for a better Gastroenterologist. I got a rose & was treated very respectful & details were explained throughout this process. I am very glad & thankful that I was referred to this practice as you couldn’t ask for a better team of staff.

Had two procedures done by Dr. Tsynman in one week and this is the friendliest and most genuine doctor and group of staff that I have ever deal with. I woke up from both procedures feeling as if nothing happened, even after discharge. They are supportive and answer any questions you have with patience and understanding. I would refer anybody here!

Dr.Tsynman was wonderful! He truly listen to my concerns and is so willing to get me back to normal. So thankful I came across his care. Also his surgery scheduler is so friendly and truly knows her stuff! Truly a great experience from check in to check out! Update I had my EGD and hands down this is the most caring provider. He is genuinely took such great care of me as I was so anxious about having anesthesia. Thank you for everything!
