General Overview of the Service

Minor surgery is any surgical procedure that does not involve anesthesia or respiratory assistance during the procedure. Very common minor surgeries include skin tag removal, wart removal, and abscess treatment. We have the ability to perform these minor surgeries safely for adults and children.
