Surgical Procedures

Whenever feasible, minor surgical procedures are performed within our practice. Initially, you'll consult with the general practitioner (GP) to discuss the procedure. Subsequently, an appointment will be scheduled for the surgery. In some cases, after evaluation, a referral to the hospital may be necessary.
