Minor Surgery Forest Lake
Minor Surgery for Forest Lake Patients
Patients from Forest Lake can see a GP at Pallara Medical, our GP in Pallara Shopping Village. You can choose to see the same doctor at each visit, which helps with ongoing care. After hours, 13SICK (13 74 25) can arrange a GP home visit.
Procedures Done in the Clinic
Some small procedures can be done at the clinic rather than in hospital, such as removing skin lesions, cysts or moles. Your GP will check whether a procedure is suitable for you.
We regularly manage skin lesions, which include the careful removal of moles, cysts, and even some skin cancers, along with performing biopsies for diagnosis. Our services also extend to wound management, including suturing of cuts and lacerations and the effective treatment of painful ingrown toenails.
Our team schedules appropriate follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress, address any concerns, and ensure a smooth recovery. Our team provides follow-up care and support during your recovery.
Referrals for Permanent Contraception: While surgical procedures like vasectomy (for men) or tubal ligation (for women) are performed by specialists, we offer initial consultations and provide essential referrals for these permanent birth control options.
