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.

Had a procedure there yesterday. While staff were all fine, privacy is lacking. I can tell you in detail all the medical issues of neighboring patient’s medical issues. Additionally doctor discussing a tumor found in another patient across the clinic area. Don’t think I’d use a like location in future.

I have had several endoscopies and colonoscopies at this center by Dr. Hamat. The staff, nurses, technicians and anesthesiologist have always been very caring and attentive. Recommend highly.

Very disappointed with this facility. I had to cancel my procedure (that was supposed to take place in less than 24 hours) because they refused to bill my major medical and my gap insurance. They said they only bill one. That’s not true. I went to another Memorial Hermann facility in August and they successfully billed both. They need better practices if that is the case or policies that are the same across the board. In the 10 years I’ve had both insurances I’ve never had a problem until now and I use both at least 5 times per year.

Had a procedure there on Friday the 1st. From the front office, nurses, anesthesia team, and Dr. Mahmoud, all of them were kind and professional. It's a pretty stressful time, but they do everything they can to put you at ease. I only had 1 unpleasant experience with the woman who calls in the prep orders, but otherwise, i would absolutely recommend this location.

To the people that bad mouth this establishment all I can say is that I have had multiple procedures there and the nurse's and staff are a one hundred percent. My doctor Kenneth Wu from Sprintz Center for Pain is number one also. My personal praise to all those in employment at this establishment you all keep up the great work and believe me when I give a five star rating there's a reason for it!!!!!
