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.

If you go here for one procedure be ready to get billed from 5 different places telling you that you owe hundreds even thousands after you already paid thousands.

PLease Find another office if you have a condition that requires a doctor that cares. This facility is by far the worse service I have ever received. For starters, there is very poor communication throughout this entire office. I flew there for a surgery and they forgot to provide me with prep instructions and therefore and therefore, I had to fly back again 4 months later because they didn't have any appointments. These instructions should have been outlines in My chart. So forget about using that because it does not reflect the most updated reports. I sent a message to the doctor in November and still yet to get a response. Secondly, I live out of State suffering from a chronic illness and they have refused to provide my local doctor with my medical records or write an RA. I have called this office over 100 times along with my doctor to get routed to voicemail and Charlene screens all calls. This office has completely failed me and need to revamp their entire system. I sending this as a warning to others.

Dr.Mohamed Naem,his Nurse Practioner Lisa, and his staff are amazing.Since being diagnosed with Crohns Disease I've had doctors from North Carolina to several in Ohio only Dr.Naem could could get the disease under control and into deep remission.He and his staff are very caring and they patiently take the time to talk and address your needs. They will not stop until they come up with the best care plan for your specific and unique care.If you've recently been diagnosed or have been suffering for some time I urge you to give them a try.

Having been a patient with North Shore staff for 30 years I cannot say enough about this practice. I have always had outstanding experiences! From the moment I arrive, the staff demonstrates impeccable professionalism and attention to details. Shout out to Dr. Adam Tabbaa, Kate, Duffy, Kristen, Angie, Dan and Zahraa. Every aspect of my experience from making the appointment to the actual procedure visit was handled with care, making me feel valued and well-cared for. The level of service exceeds my expectations, and I can confidently say that this is a place where professionalism and quality shine. Highly recommend!
