Frequently asked questions
- What conditions should prompt you to see a surgeon?
- It is worth seeing a surgeon for skin lesions that require excision, hernias, ingrown toenails, abscesses, wounds that need treatment, and symptoms that may require a surgical evaluation. A general surgeon also provides diagnostics and determines eligibility for the treatment of skin cancers.
- What does a surgical consultation look like?
- The appointment includes a medical interview regarding your symptoms, a physical examination, and a clinical assessment of the issue. Based on the examination, the surgeon will recommend the next steps, which may include an outpatient procedure, a referral for additional tests, or a conservative treatment plan.
- Are surgical procedures performed at ProfessMed?
- At ProfessMed, the surgeon performs minor outpatient procedures, including wound suturing, suture removal, abscess incision, wound debridement, removal of skin lesions, and treatment of ingrown toenails. More extensive procedures requiring general anesthesia are carried out in a hospital setting.
- What documentation should I bring to my appointment?
- It is worth bringing the results of any previous tests (laboratory or imaging), records from earlier consultations, and a list of medications you are taking. If your concern involves a skin lesion, photos documenting how it has changed over time may also be helpful.
