General Surgery at Patient First


At Patient First Medical Clinic and Diagnostics Center, we provide outpatient general surgery consultations and minor procedures in a safe, well-equipped clinical setting.


Our general surgeon sees patients for the evaluation of lumps, wounds, and other concerns that can be treated without hospital admission or referral.


Whether you're visiting for a pre-operative opinion, a wound assessment, or an in-clinic procedure, we offer timely, efficient care for minor surgical needs.



What General Surgery Covers in a Clinical Setting


General Surgery is a medical specialty that addresses conditions which may require surgical treatment. In our clinic, this includes minor procedures that can be performed under local anesthesia. These are safely done without general anesthesia or hospital admission.


At Patient First, our general surgeon evaluates concerns like soft tissue growths, minor injuries, or post-operative wound care. If further treatment or hospital-based surgery is necessary, we will issue a formal referral.


Each consultation is focused and professional. Your doctor will examine the concern, explain your treatment options, and proceed with in-clinic procedures when appropriate.




Minor Surgical Concerns and Procedures We Handle


We perform or assess a wide range of minor surgical cases suitable for outpatient care, including:


  • Skin tag removal and superficial cyst excision

  • Incision and drainage of abscesses

  • Minor wound cleaning, repair, or suturing

  • Post-operative dressing changes

  • Ingrown toenail removal

  • Breast or soft tissue lump evaluation

  • Surgical clearance and referral coordination for hospital-based needs


Your doctor will guide you through the treatment plan, recovery expectations, and any aftercare needed.

Pre-Procedure Testing and Supportive Care


Before performing any minor surgical procedure, your doctor may recommend:


  • Routine pre-surgical medical clearance

  • Blood work (CBC, bleeding/clotting time)

  • Urinalysis or blood chemistry (as needed)

  • Soft tissue ultrasound (for cysts, masses, or joint swelling)


Additional supportive services offered in-clinic include:


  • Dressing changes and wound cleaning

  • Removal of sutures or post-op debridement

  • Wound suturing for minor lacerations


All services are coordinated within the clinic. If a hospital-level intervention is required, a formal referral will be provided.
