Our Medical Services
We offer a comprehensive selection of medical procedures, diagnostic reviews, and preventive treatments tailored to safeguard your family's health.
Mole removal
Mole removal is a minor procedure used to remove certain skin growths after they have been evaluated by a healthcare provider. A mole may be considered for removal because it is irritated, catches on clothing, causes discomfort, has changed in appearance, or needs further testing.
The removal method depends on the mole's size, depth, location, and appearance. A removed mole may be sent to a laboratory for examination when medically appropriate. Moles with concerning features may require a skin biopsy or referral to a dermatologist.
- Evaluation of the mole and surrounding skin
- Review of changes or symptoms
- Local numbing medicine
- Shave removal or surgical excision when appropriate
- Laboratory testing when indicated
- Dermatology referral for concerning findings
Physical examination
A physical examination is an assessment of a patient's general health and may be performed during a routine checkup, before certain activities or procedures, or as part of evaluating a health concern. The details vary according to the reason for the visit and the patient's age and medical history.
The visit may include vital signs, a review of symptoms and medications, and examination of relevant areas of the body. Testing or follow-up may be recommended when findings or risk factors need additional evaluation.
- Medical history review
- Medication and allergy review
- Vital sign measurements
- Age-appropriate physical examination
- Review of current symptoms or concerns
- Recommended testing or follow-up
Preventative care
Preventive care focuses on identifying health risks early and helping reduce the chance of future illness. Recommended services vary based on age, sex, family history, medical conditions, lifestyle, and previous screening results.
A preventive visit may include screening recommendations, vaccination review, risk assessment, and counseling about healthy habits. Tests or services may be scheduled separately depending on clinical need and insurance coverage.
- Health risk assessment
- Recommended screening tests
- Blood pressure and cholesterol screening
- Diabetes risk assessment
- Vaccination review
- Counseling about nutrition activity and tobacco use

Removal of wart
Warts are noncancerous skin growths caused by certain types of human papillomavirus. Some warts go away without treatment while others may persist, spread, become painful, or cause irritation.
A healthcare provider can examine the growth to confirm that it appears consistent with a wart and discuss whether treatment is appropriate. The best method depends on the wart's location, size, number, and response to previous care.
- Examination of the skin growth
- Review of previous treatments
- Freezing treatment when appropriate
- Topical treatment when appropriate
- Aftercare instructions
- Dermatology referral for persistent or uncertain lesions
Same-Day Sick Visits
Same-day appointments provide timely evaluation for non-life-threatening illnesses or minor injuries that should not wait for a routine visit. Examples may include new respiratory symptoms, minor infections, rashes, mild injuries, or sudden changes in an existing condition.
Same-day office visits do not replace emergency care. Chest pain, severe trouble breathing, signs of stroke, major trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, or other potentially life-threatening symptoms require calling 911 or going to an emergency department.
- Same-day appointment scheduling when available
- Evaluation of new illness symptoms
- Assessment of minor injuries
- Basic in-office testing when appropriate
- Treatment planning and prescriptions when indicated
- Referral to emergency or specialty care when needed
Skin biopsy
A skin biopsy removes a small sample of skin so it can be examined under a microscope. It may be recommended to help evaluate a changing mole, unusual growth, persistent rash, nonhealing sore, infection, or another skin concern.
The type of biopsy depends on the size, depth, and location of the area being evaluated. The site is usually numbed before the sample is taken. Some biopsy sites require stitches and the sample is generally sent to a laboratory for analysis.
- Evaluation of the affected area
- Local numbing medicine
- Shave biopsy when appropriate
- Punch biopsy when appropriate
- Excisional biopsy when appropriate
- Laboratory analysis and results follow-up
Spirometry
Spirometry is a noninvasive breathing test that measures how much air a person can forcefully breathe out and how quickly the air is exhaled. It may help evaluate symptoms such as ongoing cough, wheezing, or shortness of breath and can support the diagnosis or monitoring of conditions such as asthma and COPD.
During the test the patient takes a deep breath and blows into a mouthpiece connected to a spirometer. Several attempts may be needed for reliable results. Testing is sometimes repeated after use of an inhaled bronchodilator.
- Review of breathing symptoms
- Instructions and coached breathing attempts
- Measurement of airflow and lung volume
- Repeat testing for reliable results
- Testing before and after a bronchodilator when ordered
- Results review and follow-up planning
Sutures
Sutures are stitches used to bring the edges of certain cuts together while the skin heals. Whether a wound can be closed in the office depends on its depth, location, cause, age, contamination risk, and whether deeper structures may be injured.
The wound is evaluated and cleaned before closure. Some injuries require another closure method or emergency treatment instead. Deep wounds, severe bleeding, animal or human bites, loss of movement or feeling, and injuries involving the face eye hand or major joint may need a higher level of care.
- Wound evaluation and cleaning
- Local numbing medicine
- Suture placement when appropriate
- Tetanus vaccination review
- Dressing and home-care instructions
- Follow-up for wound checks or suture removal
Trigger point injections
Trigger point injections are procedures used for selected painful areas in muscle that feel tight or tender and may cause pain locally or in another area. They may be considered when symptoms are consistent with myofascial pain and have not improved enough with other care.
During the procedure a clinician inserts a small needle into the identified trigger point and may inject a local anesthetic or another medication. Trigger point injections are not appropriate for every cause of muscle pain and are generally used as part of a broader treatment plan.
- Assessment of the painful muscle area
- Review of medicines and bleeding risk
- Local skin preparation
- Injection of selected trigger points
- Post-procedure instructions
- Follow-up or physical therapy planning
Urinalysis
A urinalysis is a test that checks a urine sample for cells, chemicals, and other substances. It may be used during a routine evaluation or to help assess symptoms related to the urinary tract kidneys or certain metabolic conditions.
The test may look for signs of infection, blood, protein, glucose, or other findings. An abnormal result does not always identify a specific condition and may need to be confirmed with additional testing such as a urine culture or blood test.
- Urine sample collection
- Visual and chemical screening
- Microscopic testing when ordered
- Evaluation for possible urinary infection
- Review of abnormal findings
- Additional testing or treatment when indicated
Vaccinations
Vaccinations help the immune system build protection against specific infectious diseases. Recommended vaccines vary based on age, health conditions, pregnancy status, occupation, travel, previous vaccinations, and other risk factors.
A healthcare provider can review available immunization records and current recommendations to identify vaccines that may be due. Some vaccines may not be appropriate for every patient and availability can vary by location.
- Immunization record review
- Age-based vaccine recommendations
- Risk-based vaccine recommendations
- Vaccine administration when available
- Discussion of expected side effects and precautions
- Planning for future doses when needed
Weight loss consultation
A weight loss consultation is an individualized visit focused on health goals and factors that may affect weight. The discussion may include nutrition, physical activity, sleep, medical conditions, medications, previous attempts, and barriers to making sustainable changes.
Care should be respectful and based on overall health rather than appearance alone. Depending on the patient's needs a provider may recommend lifestyle support, laboratory testing, treatment of contributing conditions, medication, or referral to another professional.
- Medical and weight history review
- Review of nutrition activity and sleep
- Screening for related health conditions
- Individualized goal setting
- Prescription weight-management medication when appropriate
- Nutrition or specialist referral
Wellness exams
Wellness exams are routine visits focused on preventive health and long-term wellbeing rather than a new illness or injury. The content of the visit depends on age, medical history, family history, current risk factors, and the type of wellness appointment scheduled.
The visit may include health screening recommendations, vaccination review, medication review, and counseling about healthy habits. A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit has specific requirements and is not the same as a complete head-to-toe physical examination.
- Personal and family health history review
- Medication and allergy review
- Vital signs and health risk assessment
- Recommended screening review
- Vaccination review
- Personalized prevention plan
