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.

Just had a colonoscopy yesterday. They were incredibly nice and professional. They went above and beyond to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. They even called today to check in on how I was feeling.

Great experience considering getting a colonoscopy. The knowledgeable explanation started with the front desk people, and continued with the nurse, anesthesiologist and doctor. All pleasant. I felt very comfortable with all who I was exposed to. And I have had an uncomfortable experience with another gastroenterologist in the past that I will never return to again. I recommend this establishment

I noticed there was only one review for this place and I wanted to pull up the rating, by saying I just had the pleasure of having a colonoscopy done here (3 hours ago) and from start to finish, the care and service I received was amazing, appreciated and noted. I used Dr. Pilchman, who had great bedside manner and was very callming to my pre procedure anxiety, and Erin, Patty (pre and post procedure) and the anesthesiologist were very friendly, and efficient. Pat (or Pam) at the front desk was the first face I saw and she was kind and comforting, and answered all of my questions too. Highly recommend from my experinece.
