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.

So happy I was able to get an appoinment. Was able to get in much quicker than other clinics in area. The facility is clean and welcoming and Shelby is absolutely the best at making something uncomfortable, comfortable. 10/10. Update: Did anyone ever think they would enjoy a colonoscopy? Dr Nammour and his team, hands down, made something uncomfortable as enjoyable as it possibly could have been. Beyond grateful that I was able to find a place that listenes, addresses concerns, and visibly cares about patients. Having had a colonoscopy elsewhere I can, hands down, say Dakota GI is the absolute best to place to have to have a colonoscopy done.

Kaitlyn Walters is very personable, caring and a great listener. She answers my question with thoughtful follow up. She has explained what is going with my issue and has setup a procedure to do follow up to treat me.

Was very pleased with thoroughness of visit and listened to me about my issue which had recurred, explained things very well to me. Not rushed , took their time with you.
