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.

I was nervous to come as it was my first time and Dr. Priyanka was extremely rude and condescending. Would not recommend her!

Overall I had a very good experience here. Dr. Chatzinoff was very straightforward and to the point. The staff were great as well. Will definitely go back when it's time but I'm in no rush!!!!

Unfortunately, Dr. Chatzinoff was not helpful whatsoever. My husband was recently hospitalized for a suspected rare and worsening condition and Dr. Chatzinoff, while admitting to know NOTHING about the condition other than what he probably googled 5 minutes before we entered, did not offer any insight on referrals to any other physicians, practices or help otherwise. We practically had to beg him for an endoscopy to visualize the upper GI for presence of fungus which we already know exists from the hospital visit. He did not care to listen at all or see my husband as a whole patient. They could not get us in for a simple endoscopy/colonoscopy until January 2024. My husband will be in the ER several times for this endangering condition before that happens. The clinic was a waste of time and money.

Excellent. Five stars. I went to GIEC for a colonoscopy... by definition, not a pleasant experience. Communication before the procedure via phone, text and mail was excellent. From reception to nursing to anesthesiology and the doctor performing the procedure, the team couldn't have been nicer, more comforting or more professional. If you have to get a colonoscopy or endoscopy, GIEC is a great choice!
