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.

It's icy and bitter cold outside, but the doors were open and they were ready and took me in almost immediately. Each person from the receptionist, to the anesthesiologist, to nurse and the aid as well as the gastroenterologist were efficient, professional, courteous, and balanced their task and an interest the patient. The prep and working relationship with the Gastroenterology Associates ran seamlessly. This was my 9th colonoscopy and I was impressed and recommend them with the highest of marks

Very relaxed atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and courteous. My prep nurse had a great sense of humor. They called me with the results in a reasonable time period. I have used them before and would recommend them to anyone who is having the same procedure done.

Doctor and nurses were pleasant. We arrived a little early (6:20am) and found the office open snd a nurse was there to check me in. We were home by 8:50a. Positive experience all the way around!

What an amazing, super relaxed atmosphere and the staff is incredible. From start to finish I felt like I mattered, not like a number. Caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. They explained everything to me before and after. No rushing. Smiles everywhere. The entire group including the doctor are simply magnificent. Couldn't ask for a better experience or group of people. Thank you for taking your time and helping me thru this.
