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.

Awesome appointment for my colonoscopy! Every person I encountered was wonderful! It’s so refreshing to receive medical care with compassion, care, and competence! If you need a colonoscopy “run, don’t walk “ to Sapling Grove Endoscopy Center!

Words can not express how awesome this facility is. From the moment you arrive they make you feel comfortable and welcomed. The staff is professional and courteous. Dr. Thomas was awesome, he went into great details and explained everything. I had a great experience.

Cannot speak highly enough about the entire staff! I had my first colonoscopy today at age 29, and I was definitely nervous. Everyone made me feel at ease, and made me feel well taken care of. Joann at check in greeted me with a smile, and thanked my husband for his military service after handing me back my insurance card. Dianna, the nurse who took me back and got me prepped for the procedure, was beyond friendly, and made jokes with me to ease the anxiousness. My nurse anesthetist Anna Marie (I believe was her name) was very sweet, and Dr. Grigg was wonderful too. First time meeting her, but she was very welcoming and made me feel safe and in good hands. I love HMG in general, but wanted to give praise to the Endoscopy Center at Sapling Grove for my wonderful care today!

This has to be the most thoughtful, caring and professional group I've ever dealt with. From top to bottom, there wasn't a single hiccup or blemish to the experience. I was delighted with less than 2 hours total contact time. My surgeon was top-notch, as well. Really nice touch was being offered a choice of soft drinks after the procedure. Congrats on attaining such an amazingly precise operation.

Drs & Nurses & everyone was great but front door is broken & stuck open and frigid weather just blows right in the waiting area. People who work there have said it's been broken for days..
