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 Senussi and the endoscopy staff were efficient, professional and informative. Great bedside manner. They took the time to explain everything both pre and post procedure.

My wife and I both have gone to Salem Gastro for many years when needed. We both highly recommend Salem Gastro. Dr. Robert Ponec takes time to explain procedures well, and makes sure you understand what should happen before, during, and after. His staff is very helpful and cordial.

The doctor and staff were all very professional, very helpful and friendly. They made an unpleasant experience much more tolerable and as pleasant as such a thing can be. My prep nurse was excellent. She explained things really well and she made me smile and relax which brought my blood pressure back down. Good experience.

This place is the best! They have their systems down really well. They’ll get you in and out. The procedure was easy. The prep is rough but helps you lose weight. First picture of me is right after Dr. George is incredible great bedside manner. She knows what she’s doing and if you want a doctor who’s in and out and get your problem solved she’s the one!
