    Services Provided

    Minor Surgery

    Minor surgery is commonly provided in primary care practices, providing fast, competent removal and biopsies of skin lesions. Other services include cosmetic work such as removal of benign moles and skin tags. Ingrown toenail surgery is also commonly provided. 
    These conditions do not need to be referred to a hospital, perhaps saving you a long wait or a cancelled appointment when a more serious case takes priority.

    Skin cancer service

    Skin cancer services provide management of common skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma.

    Skin cancer services can provide:

    • Diagnosis: skin checks and biopsies can be used to identify suspicious moles, lesions, or spots and diagnose different types of skin cancer.
    • Treatment: treatment options include surgical removal, cryotherapy, and topical treatments.
    • Specialist Referral: for more complex cases providers can refer you to specialists for advanced care and treatment.
