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.

Dr. Ramos was excellent. He recommended that I had a colonoscopy and actually found in the procedure a very suspect polyp. He guided me through the next steps and thanks to him I am cancer free. Highly recommended!!

Dr Ramos has been my family’s gastroenterologist for many years and we have always had a good experience. He is a great doctor and would recommend him. Our wait times to be attended by the doctor have not been an issue.

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Fernando Ramos. I was facing a medical emergency when I made my appointment, and I was able to get scheduled the same day, which was a huge relief. Dr. Ramos was incredibly attentive and caring, taking the time to listen to my concerns and ensuring I received the best possible care. His follow-up throughout the entire process was exceptional, making sure I was well-informed and supported every step of the way. I truly appreciate his professionalism, compassion, and dedication to his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Ramos to anyone in need of an excellent gastroenterologist.

I’ve been a patient at Instituto de Gastroenterología de PR for many years, and my experience with Dr. Ramos has been nothing short of exceptional. I’ve read some of the reviews before and I can confidently say that they do not do justice to how incredible Dr. Ramos is as a gastroenterologist. He is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to his patient’s well-being.
