The doctors at Hunters Hill Medical Practice regularly perform minor surgical procedures. These procedures happen under local anaesthetic, within our well-appointed facilities.
Our patients tell us that they appreciate the convenience of having a minor surgical procedure at a time that suits them, with a rapid return to home or work.
All procedures at Hunters Hill Medical Practice are undertaken with hospital-standard sterilisation practices and protocols, and are performed in a dedicated, state of the art treatment room. The treatment room is equipped with the latest medical resources and technologies for optimum medical care.
Our highly skilled practice nurses are an important part of your primary healthcare team. They work alongside our doctors to provide safe, high-quality care for our patients. They will be present to support you during procedures.
In preparation for the procedure, your doctor will carefully explain what is involved, any potential risks, and preparation if required. Any questions or concerns can be addressed by your doctor.
Your comfort and safety is a priority. Depending on the type of procedure, you may receive a local anaesthetic to numb the area. Our practice nurses will also be present to support you during the procedure and monitor your vital signs if needed.
Upon completion of the procedure, you may be provided with after-care instructions or information on follow-on treatment. It is recommended to attend any scheduled follow-up appointments after the procedure to monitor your progress and address any concerns. Our practice nurses can help with wound care and suture and staple removals.
In addition to minor procedures, other services also offered include:
If you require a minor medical procedure, talk to your GP today – they will explain what is involved, and whether or not it can be done at our practice. We can also provide referrals to other professionals such as specialists or allied health services if that is deemed as the most appropriate option for you.
