In office procedures
In-office procedures are usually minor procedures performed during a visit for your convenience. By having your minor procedure in your primary doctor’s office, you can avoid the commotion that comes with visiting an urgent care or emergency room, saves you time and the high costs of a hospital procedure. These minor procedures do not require anesthesia. In some cases, a local anesthetic can be used for your comfort.
Types of procedures the Doctor offers in her office:
During annual physical exams, the Doctor evaluates your risk for disease, performs tests to look for disease in its early stages with the goal of diagnosing medical problems before causing symptoms.
What should you expect during an annual physical exam visit:
- Incision and drainage of skin abscess – procedure that relieves pressure and pain,
- Treatment of skin cuts – some of the skin cuts require repair to prevent infection or scar formation. The Doctor will treat the wound and place small sutures to close the wound and help proper healing
- Joint injections - for treatment of a painful joint that is not responsive to oral medications. Joint injections are minimally invasive procedures that can temporarily relieve pain caused by an inflamed joint. While performing these injections, the Doctor uses a sterile technique to deliver a steroid medicine directly into a joint such as knee, shoulder, wrist, for pain relief.

After in-office procedure was performed, you can generally return home and continue your normal routine unless the doctor advises you otherwise. At check-out, you will receive a complete set of written instructions with Doctor’s recommendations until your follow appointment. At the follow up visit, the Doctor will check your healing and discuss further instructions if needed.
