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.

I wouldn't go anywhere else. I've had a colonoscopy and endoscopy here before and the procedures went perfect. The staff were super helpful and made me very comfortable both times. No problems at all! But I also had wonderful Dr.'s who sent me to this facility and performed the procedure so all involved are top notch!

Although colonoscopies can be anxiety-inducing procedure, the professionalism, skill, and compassion of the medical staff at Physician Endoscopy Center (PEC) made the entire experience far more comfortable and painless. To highlight one exceptional experience that occurred after my procedure, my daughter had difficulty starting the car to drive me home. Dr. Nisha, the anesthesiologist involved in my care, quickly stepped in to help. She not only assisted with starting the car but also generously offered her portable jump starter in case the issue happened again. Dr. Nisha went above and beyond her medical responsibilities, demonstrating exceptional kindness and care. Thank you to the entire staff, Dr. Lang, and especially Dr. Nisha. Happy holidays!

I’ve been going to Dr. Manji for the past 3 decades and he is always very thorough. The staff and nurses are excellent in their work and bedside manners. The anesthesiologist was also very kind and I felt at ease in her care. Overall good experience for me. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience getting my endoscopy - was a little nervous but everyone was very nice and explained everything thoroughly. From check-in with Lesley, to my pre-op nurse Sandy who was very funny and calming, to in the procedure room with Becky and Doreen, the CRNA Laura who was very nice, my PACU nurse Maria was lovely, and Dr. Sandoval explained everything. It was all very efficient and went smoothly.

Excellent staff. I felt cared for from start to finish. Lesley at check in was ON IT! I had some issues checking in but she assured me she would handle everything and rework my paperwork. She was juggling so many patients but was extremely professional and fast. Give that woman a raise! All of the nurses and staff were very caring and helpful. I really appreciated the staff taking care of me for my first endoscopy.
