Procedures Performed

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

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.

This was the best colonoscopy experience I have had. The staff was excellent. I couldn't have received more compassionate, competent care. Five Stars Plus!

Dr Michael Sherman is one of the best doctors that I have seen . He's thorough and professional and has great bedside manner. If he could be my family doctor it would be great. What I liked about him most is that he actually ask you how you're feeling mentally and physically .

Would not allow me to stay in waiting room (which was blocked off for distancing), for my 80 year old mother who has trouble seeing, hearing, sedation makes nauseous and trouble with steadiness with her knees and hips. I HAD A MASK!! Terrible place. Would not recommend. Poor patient relations. STEER CLEAR. I went to this Dr. Jit years ago for an endoscopy and he found 3 ulcers and recommended prescription Prilosec which I was already taking for years before having this procedure. Never offered anything else. PLEASE IF YOU ARE REFERRED TO HIM, GO ELSEWHERE.

- 3 is in order here! Dr. Handler performed a standard colonoscopy on my girl last week at this time. During that procedure he nicked or perforated her bowel. She also aspirated causing other problems... they sent us home at 4:50pm (5pm closing time) and said if she still in pain call the number and have the Doctor paged. She had MAJOR chest pains and said they would go away but didn’t. They also she may need a chest X-ray... which they did not do nor did they suggest for us to go get one. 3 hours later at home she was still in excruciating pain. We decided to have the doctor paged. 30 minutes later, I had him paged again... 45 minutes later I called and had him page for the third time!!! I ended up taking her to the emergency room in Huber, which in turn was huge. The ER transported her to Soin Medical where she spent the next 5 days on clear liquids, and was treat for a perforated bowel, phenomenal the chest pains. Luckily, the Trama Surgery that seen her took very good care of her, checked in daily and gave us options. No surgery is guaranteed to not have any obstacles and or problems, I understand that! But the fact that he never called back after being paged three times it’s completely ridiculous. He did stop in the hospital two days later which was appreciated and he did apologize but that does not correct his actions for not calling us back the night of the problems. Rant over... I would not recommend this facility to anyone!

This is the absolute rudest staff I’ve encountered in health care. The receptionist is terrible!!! The medical staff ( RN) I assume, takes my loved one back , says only him for now. Which I understand that they need to get patient in a gown & IV started. BUT after waiting for an extended period, I went to ask the rude receptionist when I could go back. She says he is already in his procedure. WHAT??? I have worked in health care for 30 years. I pray I never treat family like this place does. I assure one thing, if and when they come to get me, to take me to recovery room, they will know what I am thinking!!!!!
