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.

Cannot recommend this place more. I was having problems with the Royersford Gastroenterologist where I called the on-call Dr and was immediately dismissed but Nurse Donna followed up with me almost everyday until my colonoscopy. She was wonderful! I went in for a colonoscopy at 2:30 and was out by 3:45! Dr. Ghanta was amazing and was so caring and eased my nerves and so was his nurse! I would highly recommend this place.

Months to get billed, billed by two different organizations that must be paid and dealt with separately, this is ridiculous. Would be zero stars if that was an option: DO NOT RECOMMEND

From the front door to finish, all the staff was great. Sorry, I only remember one name, Rachel. Hopefully she will pass on the comment. Bottom line (no pun intended), If great gastric healthcare is wanted, this is the place to go.
