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.

Took my wife here. Some of the nurses are very good but some have an attitude about helping. The appointment line is just awful. Don’t waste your time. These people are confused. They refer to us as patients but from a business standpoint we are customers. The business services the customer. Not the other way around.

Don't waste your time here. They are not doing all colonoscopy when needed to do. They will remove a tiny polyp instead of leaving it in place, I did colonoscopy without drugs, doctors are terrible , they will put oxygen when you have 100 % when you don't need it, just to get their rewards for being in the room. It's like a joke! If you have pain in the belly better the Pillcam test! Such a time and money waste! They know that in the large intestine there are no pain receptors, but recommended to do colonoscopy... Good luck doc, I hope you do not ruined my family life! And my kids will have their mom longer!

My experience with my first colonoscopy was a good one! The staff is kind and personable and they help you to feel at ease. The facility is clean and they are very efficient. In and out in less than two hours. Dr Gallagher made sure all my questions were answered and did a great job!
