Minor Operation Clinics:
Dr Stewart and Dr Cooper currently perform minor operations including toenail surgery, mole removal, cyst removal, etc. These operations are all performed under local anaesthetic. This service removes the need for our patients to wait for hospital appointments for these minor procedures. Appointments can be organised via your usual doctor.
Cryotherapy clinics are now run on an occasional basis when sufficient numbers of patients require treatment. Please discuss this with your doctor.
