Procedures Performed

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

Orthopaedic Surgery6
Knee ArthroscopyA camera and small instruments are inserted through incisions the size of a buttonhole to repair cartilage, trim a torn meniscus, or remove loose fragments. Because the joint is not opened fully, recovery is far faster than traditional open knee surgery.Shoulder ArthroscopyUses a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions to repair the shoulder joint — commonly for impingement, labral tears, or damaged cartilage. Most patients go home the same day and begin physical therapy within the first week.ACL ReconstructionRebuilds the torn anterior cruciate ligament using a graft, since a fully torn ACL does not heal on its own. The surgery itself is outpatient, but returning to cutting and pivoting sports typically takes nine to twelve months of structured rehabilitation.Rotator Cuff RepairReattaches torn tendons in the shoulder to the bone. Pain relief often comes well before strength does — a sling is typical for several weeks and full recovery commonly takes four to six months, with physical therapy doing much of the work.Carpal Tunnel ReleaseCuts the ligament pressing on the median nerve at the wrist to relieve numbness, tingling, and night pain in the hand. The procedure takes about 15 minutes under local anesthesia. Night symptoms often improve immediately; grip strength returns over several weeks.Joint ReplacementDamaged joint surfaces are replaced with implants, most commonly at the knee or hip. Once exclusively a hospital procedure, selected healthy patients now have this done at surgery centers and go home the same day with a structured recovery plan.
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.

The Pickerington Gastro location was very convenient. The doctors & staff were very kind and professional. Special thanks to my NPA for my direct care and Kevin from surgery. The front desk staff Taylynn & Margret was amazing with helping you feel welcomed there. Thank you much!

Dr Isler and the staff at the Pickerington location are absolutely amazing. I’ve been a patient of his for 4-5 years now and he has walked me through every step of my journey. Going to see a doctor isn’t always pleasant but I always enjoy my visits with Dr Isler and feel empowered to continue on my health journey when I leave. ❤️

Dr Parker is the best. She took her time to answer every question I had, made me feel heard and I so appreciate the time she took with me. We’ve been trying for months to figure out what’s been going on and she has not given up trying to get me answers. I absolutely adore her and the staff at the Pickerington location! They are truly the best!

The best experience with Dr.Parker, the nurses, and office staff! I waited less than 30 seconds in the waiting room after checking in for my appointment. The nurse was so kind as she took my information and Dr. Parker was THOROUGH as she asked me questions, listened, asked follow-up questions,etc. She had clearly reviewed my case before my appointment and clearly stated next steps. I cannot stress enough that Ohio Gastroenterology Group Inc. was amazing and I would give them 10 stars if I could!

Courtney Garvin was my favorite practitioner at my primary care practice and my visit with her this week reaffirms my belief. She is thorough, friendly, a great listener and has always met my medical needs. I am so pleased to be reunited with her as a top flight clinician. She will get to the bottom of my gastrointestinal issues. I’m confident in her ability and persistence.
