Minor Injuries and Procedures FAQs
We can suture most simple lacerations and wounds. For complex or deep wounds, we may recommend referral to a specialist or hospital visit.

If you have a recent sports injury, it’s important to seek medical attention for proper assessment and management. We can provide initial assessment, diagnosis, and treatment, and refer you for further care if needed.

Local anesthetic is used to numb the area before any skin lesion removal procedure, minimising discomfort.

Healing time varies depending on the size and location of the wound. We will provide you with specific wound care instructions and follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress.

Ear syringing is a procedure used to remove excess earwax buildup from the ear canal. It involves gently flushing the ear with water to dislodge the wax.
