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.

Hermitage team came through for me. It was helpful to be seen quickly when I needed care, and I didn't wait long. They took my worries serious, answered my questions, and I felt fully cared for.

I am a new patient as I've only been there 3 times now, but with that being said, they are fantastic! Nurses take the time to ask you what medications you're on and your symptoms and doctors take the time to hear of your concerns. Never had a bad experience here. Highly recommend them.

Really thankful for the Hermitage team. Getting a same-day visit made it way easier than other places I've been. Their warm, caring way made me feel like more than a patient, and I knew I was in good hands.

I like the Dr. Masters and Dr. Youseff. But their staff and how they conduct business is ridiculous. I've been out of my medications for 2 weeks. Tried calling the past 3 weeks to get a refill and nothing. My pharmacy has been trying also and nothing. I just spoke to the front desk and at the end of the call she just hung up. I was in the middle of saying something but she just hung up. Wish I could remember her name bc she's been curt with me before and I'm not the only one she's like that to. Seems like the Drs are only in once a week.. you can never get a hold of someone who could actually do something for you, instead of the answering service. Ridiculous.
