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.

Was impressed with this facility. Check-in was efficient. Staff were friendly and professional. I did not have to wait long to be called in for the procedure. My doctor asked me about new medications he'd prescribed and whether they were helping with my issues prior to being put under for two procedures. Recovery went as expected and doctor talked to my husband about findings and what to expect for me after going home. I would recommend the facility to anyone I know who lived within range and had a need for a procedure.

The whole process, from the pre exam, to the picking up the tabs, prep, checking in for the procedure, getting ready for the procedure after checking in and the colonoscopy procedure was very easy, simple and stress free! I will definitely continue to come to AEC for my colonoscopy. Everyone was very nice, friendly and made me feel like I was there only patient and that they genuinely cared about me and my well being! Very highly recommend AEC in Leander!!

My wife and I have been through a lot of these procedures, so I understand the process. This was the best experience i've had with this procedure.. I originally came from another doctor, but followed PA kristen Young to this practice. She is great. Everybody on the staff was awesome, from check in, to nurses, to doctors. I highly recommend this practice.

Comforting experience after going into this having two procedures scheduled at same time and feeling a lot of anxiety. Nursing/Medical staff were professional, attentive, and comforting. Certainly one of my best experiences having medical procedures done. I wish I could remember everyone's name. Thank you all so much.

I had a great experience with the nurses and staff at the facility. The reason for my 1-star rating is because of their billing process. They use a third-party billing company that does not communicate with their main office. I paid my balance in full with the main office in March 2025, and it is June 2025 and I still receive statements from their third-party company showing a balance. I have left messages and sent emails. It is taking way too much effort when I already paid. They need a better communication process with those who are contacting clients and asking for money on their behalf.
