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.

Dr. Nguyen is one of the best doctors I have ever known. His genuine interest, care and concern for his patients is superb. I have worked with him professionally and he has great communication skills. It took a little bit of time to get in to see him, but he’s worth it. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Keener is amazing! He is very thorough and takes the time to listen to my concerns. He also explains everything in a way that I understand. He has probably the best bedside manner of any doctor I know. His knowledge is incredible also!

I called to schedule a appointment for a colonoscopy and the lady was so polite and pleasant to speak with I didn't really want to hang up from speaking with her. I made my appointment and asked a few questions and got all of my answers. I don't understand why there's so much negativity from some of the reviews so far my experience has very positive considering I'm about to have a camcorder put up my backside which I'm not liking the concept too well but I'm sure I'll survive.
