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 did my colonoscopy at West Chester center and overall happy with the experience. The prep kit included all the necessary meds. Check in and check out was smooth. I was explained about the procedure and prepared me for it. Post endoscopy they explained the findings and all my questions were answered.

Everyone was very professional, and treated me with the best of care. I left feeling that I had been in very capable hands. All my questions were answered and the post procedure instructions were printed out along with explanations for any conditions that were found during the procedure. They called the next day to make sure I was feeling ok and also made a follow up call a few days later. Overall a very positive experience from everyone that I came in contact with.

I had my first colonoscopy performed by Dr. Bender and her team. Although the preparation leading up to the procedure was awful (not their fault and standard practice) - once I arrived everything went smoothly and I could not have asked for a better experience. Everyone was super nice, accommodating and all my questions were answered.

I am grateful for how smooth the entire experience was. From check-in to discharge, every team member treated me with kindness and professionalism. They took the time to explain each step which helped ease my nerves. The procedure itself went smoothly. The nurses made sure I was warm and comfortable. I truly felt cared for. I am thankful for the excellent care I received and would highly recommend to anyone who needs a colonoscopy. They made an uncomfortable situation feel safe and comfortable.

I recently had an endoscopy procedure, and I must say it was an EXCELLENT experience from start to finish! From scheduling to check-in, the front desk staff were friendly and efficient. The nursing staff were compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly caring. The doctor's professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the procedure. Everyone was on point, on top of their game, and provided outstanding care. I felt comfortable, informed, and well taken care of throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend this team and facility to anyone in need of endoscopy services. The care and attention to detail were truly exceptional!
