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.

Dr.Ferdows is really the best! His office ladies are great too! I have been having GI issues for a long time, and I feel like just another patient on the list. He really listens and tries to get to the bottom of the issue. THANK YOU TO ALL IN THE OFFICE

While the office staff is very nice, Dr. Ferdows is biased against plus sized people. He assumes because you're overweight that must be the problem. Yes, he ordered tests, but when those came back normal his only response was that I needed to lose weight. I got another opinion and with another test found out I have gall stones. Don't let a DOCTOR belittle you because of your size! That is not all you are!

14, 1-Star reviews, mine makes #15. 37% are failing reviews! Front office staff is unbelievable and unprofessional. The employee was huffing and puffing, totally passive-aggressive because I didn't want to take a picture on their data pad for office paperwork. That data pad is NOT a secured device and when I asked if I can fill out actual paper, she made it seem like it was an incredible inconvenience. That pad is also leaning up where anyone behind me could see all my private information as I was inputting it. I will be contacting the state licensing board regarding the lack of privacy from the device on the counter. It looks like that device is left on the counter on a regular basis, possibly overnight, and if it is, patient privacy is not a priority. COMPLAINT WITH OCR at HHS FILED. In my attempt to find a healthcare professional to make my life better, this office has failed me and many others miserably.

The sheer amount of disrespect and bedside reporte that Dr. Mehdi Ferdows had my partner coming home in tears. Disrespectful conversation around weight while not taking time to address issues, listen to patient concerns, and physically touching client trying to console them is highly unethical and would not recommend this practice.

Dr Ferdows is an amazing GI. I have been working with him for about a year now and we finally found a diagnosis for me. He expresses just as much concern as I do about things and makes me feel heard and seen. Tracy is also amazing. She has gone to bat for me about making a few out of office radiology appointments and helped secure spots for me to get necessary scans done. This team is amazing! Thank you guys for all you do!
