MARCH IS COLON CANCERAWARENESS MONTH!
(VEGAS OPENS FIRST FREE-STANDING ENDOSCOPY CENTER)
SEEN IN THE CITY:
(LAS VEGAS) As relevant as today’s headlines – (March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month!) the first free-standing endoscopy center - LV Surgery Center, opens recently in Clark County (since 2008) and is now offering the most advanced, flexible GI endoscope to increase the find rate of adenomas during colonoscopies. With the grand opening, LV Surgery Center introduced advanced technology to the community.
Dr. Noel Fajardo and Dr. Filippo Cremonini are the first Gastroenterologists in Southern Nevada to offer the Endochoice Fuse. The Fuse uses three small cameras at the tip of a flexible GI endoscope; this provides a 330 degree panoramic view, as opposed to the 170 degree field of image capture from a traditional endoscope. This gastroscope has been shown to be 69 percent more effective at detecting adenomas and polyps (benign tumors in epithelial tissue) than a traditional endoscope. On Oct. 1, 2008, The Nevada State Health Division enacted permanent regulations for ambulatory surgery centers to tackle issues with disinfection and sterilization that led to a Hepatitis C outbreak and Hepatitis scare amongst Southern Nevadans. As the first free-standing endoscopy center to open under new Nevada Public Health regulations, LV Surgery Center will strictly adhere to regulatory compliance and safety measures for Southern Nevada patients.
“Making sure that the scopes are sterilized properly and making sure that the providers only use disposable equipment, we want to assure our patients to feel safe receiving an endoscopy or colonoscopy. My vision at LV Surgery Center is to provide services that are not available in other states,” says Dr. Noel Fajardo. “We are proud to ensure that we are in complete compliance with every regulation, allowing us to provide the most advanced procedures and highest quality standard of care.”
An open house for LV Surgery Center was scheduled recently at 7315 S. Pecos Rd., Las Vegas, NV 89120. LV Surgery Center will soon accept appointments for patients with most PPO insurances, and Medicare.
