Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

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 hope the right people read this review, as I’m sharing my personal experience to help others who may be considering this facility. I had a colonoscopy here on 2/6/2026, and the staff were awesome and welcoming from the moment I checked in at the front desk to the back pre-op area. The nurses were incredibly helpful and compassionate, making sure I understood what to expect prior to my procedure. The anesthesiologist met with me at my bedside beforehand, confirmed my procedure, and answered all of my questions. My physician, Dr. Varia, was awesome as always. He met with me afterward to make sure I was feeling okay post-op and reviewed the findings with me at bedside. The anesthesiologist also checked on me afterward, which I truly appreciated. I previously had a horrible experience with a different doctor at a different facility back in 2015. I experienced severe stomach pain afterward and was moved from post-op to the emergency hospital area for additional testing. It was very traumatic, and I ended up putting this procedure off for my second exam for many years because of that experience. That said, I’m so glad that my current physician, Dr. Apurva Varia at the Center for Digestive Diseases in The Woodlands, uses River Oaks Endoscopy Center. I can confidently give five stars to the entire staff. In the future, I will absolutely trust them to provide a safe and positive experience for their patients. Thank you all!

Nice, modern facility. Was treated very gently by the nurses and techs as I was apprehensive to have my first colonoscopy and endoscopy. Everything went very smoothly and the next day they called me to ask how I was feeling which was very appreciated. Dr. Chatha, the gastroenterologist who performed the procedure is very knowledgeable as well as personable. Highly recommend!

Top-notch facility with excellent staff! My nurses, Erin & Karli, took time to explain every step of the process and kept me informed about timing and what to expect. In the procedure room Haley, Alyssa and Robby were incredibly professional and helped me feel completely at ease. Dr Varia is outstanding-clear, thorough, and great at explaining everything in easy-to-understand terms. And a big thank-you to the amazing front office team for their efficiency and friendliness. Highly recommend!!!
