Procedures Performed

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

Epidural Steroid InjectionsSteroid medication is injected near irritated spinal nerve roots to calm inflammation causing sciatica or arm pain. Often used to make physical therapy tolerable rather than as a standalone cure. There are limits on how frequently they can be repeated.Nerve Block InjectionsAnesthetic, sometimes with steroid, is injected around a specific nerve to interrupt pain signals. Used both to treat pain and to identify its source, since relief from a precisely placed block points to the nerve responsible.Radiofrequency AblationHeat generated by radio waves disables the small nerves carrying pain signals from an arthritic spinal joint. Relief commonly lasts six months to two years. Because the nerves regenerate over time, the procedure can be repeated.Spinal Cord StimulationA device delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to interrupt chronic pain signals before they reach the brain. A temporary trial period is done first, so you can judge the benefit before committing to a permanent implant.Joint InjectionsSteroid or lubricating medication is injected directly into an arthritic or inflamed joint. Image guidance is often used to confirm placement. Relief typically lasts weeks to months and can make physical therapy more productive.Trigger Point InjectionsA local anesthetic is injected into a taut, tender knot of muscle to break the spasm-and-pain cycle. The appointment takes minutes and you can usually return to normal activity the same day.
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.

Don’t bother seeing a gastroenterologist if you’ve ever used a nicotine product in your life. Even if you quit nicotine a decade ago they will tell you every symptom you are currently experiencing is from your past life choices. Ridiculously lazy results and no real help.

Had great service! I was very anxious and stressed with it being my first colonoscopy, first time under anesthesia, and was worried about the results. Dr. Sharma had me scheduled for an appointment very quickly after I expressed my concerns. Marissa at the front, the nurses Callie, Sharon, Melanie and Mikayla, and anesthesiologist Nnenna were all excellent, super kind, and put me at ease. I just went to sleep and woke up and it was done super quick! Also grateful for available payment plans, definitely wouldn't be able to afford otherwise.

This is an awesome place to have your procedure done. Everyone is super friendly and amazing ..from the first person you meet (receptionist) to the nurse that preps you. Recovering nurse was great.. nurses that assist the doctor in surgery room made me feel at ease ,as I was super nervous. If your doctor has access to this facility to do procedure I highly recommend it. Dr. Sharma is the best.. Thank you all at Theda Iaks surgical center .

The wait is long (but i feel like this is not uncommon just a little annoying bc everyone’s hungry and tired) my appointment was scheduled for 10am but I was asked to come in at 8:30 to fill out paperwork I was in the waiting room until 10:30 where I started to get prepped for my colonoscopy. The entire staff was very kind from office staff to medical staff the nurses and anesthesiologist made sure to go through every detail with me and answer any of my questions. The most important thing is that the drs and nurses have good bed side manner and are good at what they do making you feel you’re in safe hands.

I was so nervous going in. The desk staff was very welcoming. The attending staff was amazing with helping me prep for my endoscopy procedure. Sarah injected my IV. she was very sweet and gentle. Caprice took care of putting me to sleep for the procedure. She was so nice and made me feel so comfortable and ready to do this. If you have a choice I would choose this facility for your procedures. Entire staff wad very professional and very welcoming and above all very sweet and comforting. Thank you Theda Oaks for taking good care of me
