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 just want to thank everyone from the moment we stepped in the front door, the front desk. Lisa and Bobby to the RNs. Sarah and Brynn and the tech Sonia and the anesthesiologist. Nick, this was my first colonoscopy ever and they couldn't have made me feel safe. They were wonderful. And they explained every little detail that I needed to know to make me feel comfortable.

My experience at the Endoscopy Center in Broomall PA was extremely positive. From Bobbi and Trish at the front desk to Dr. Bash, including his team of nurses, Sarah and Steph and Sonya the anesthesia technician. Every one of them was so kind and attentive, and took their time with me in every aspect of the appointment. You don’t always find that in Surgical centers/Procedure centers these days . Very kind, warm, and welcoming staff that are attentive to all your questions and concerns.Thank you everyone!

Dr. Barish runs a tight ship, for which I appreciate. Nurse Alison was such a pleasure to chat with and quelled any fears I had. Anesthetist Pete was both personable and very efficient and Nurse Tara did a great job getting me ready to go after the procedure. Nothing but praise for this team!

My experience was extremely good. Everyone I interacted with was very professional and friendly. They took me to the prep room promptly and explained what I was going to be going through. After my procedure they explained how I was going to be feeling and what I needed to do. Definitely a great medical team and facility.
