How do I know if I need minor procedures?

Dr. Angel can determine if you need a minor procedure during an evaluation of the treatment area.

They can also thoroughly clean open wounds to lower your risk for infection.

If you need a minor procedure as part of your treatment plan, your provider discusses what to expect and helps you make the most informed decisions about your health.

In situations where you need stitches, you may need to come back to the office to have them removed during a follow-up appointment. The provider also ensure you’re healing properly to prevent infections, scarring, and other complications.

Will minor procedures hurt?

Many of the minor procedures available at the office of Angel Perez, MD, PA, don’t require any anesthesia. However, if you need a skin tag removed, your provider can use a local anesthetic to numb the area ahead of your procedure.

Typically, minor procedures are quick and the doctor sends you home with after-care instructions so that you can heal properly.

If you need more complex treatment or surgery, your provider can refer you to a specialist for additional care. After your surgery is complete, the medical provider at the office of Angel Perez, MD, PA, can monitor your recovery, manage your pain, and address any complications that you experience.
