Surgeon Gdańsk — consultations and surgical procedures
Surgical consultations and outpatient procedures — skin and subcutaneous lesions, wounds, abscesses, ingrown toenails.
At ProfessMed, we provide surgical consultations and perform outpatient surgical procedures. We help, among other things, with the diagnosis and treatment of skin and subcutaneous lesions, wounds, abscesses and other problems that require a surgeon’s assessment.
During the consultation, the surgeon assesses the problem, discusses treatment options and, where indicated, qualifies the patient for a procedure. Surgical consultation (general surgery, surgical oncology) — 250 zł.
Not every skin lesion, lump, wound or painful change requires a procedure. If you notice a change that concerns you, you are not sure what is causing it, or you are wondering whether it needs surgical treatment, a consultation is a good place to start. During the visit, the surgeon will assess the problem, discuss possible treatment options and tell you whether a procedure is necessary.

How the surgical consultation works
- 1. Assessment of the problem — the surgeon takes a medical history and carefully assesses the lesion, wound or reported problem.
- 2. Discussion of treatment options — the doctor explains the available treatment options and whether the problem requires a surgical procedure.
- 3. Agreeing on next steps — if a procedure is indicated, the doctor discusses its scope, how it will be performed and the follow-up recommendations. If needed, a date for the procedure is scheduled.
