What Are Common “In Office” Procedures?

A modern doctor’s office can perform a much wider scope of “in office” procedures than ever before. The doctor can stitch up a wound, remove skin lesions, drain abscesses, perform skin biopsies, etc.

How are Abscesses Treated?

Abscesses are like large blisters or boils that are filled with pus. The best way to treat an abscess is through surgical drainage. During the procedure, the abscess is lanced or cut open. The wound may also be packed to prevent premature closure of the opening and allow the abscess to continue to drain.

Why Are In Office Procedures Offered?

In office procedures are offered for several reasons. Can you imagine having to wait in the ER for hours in pain and paying a hefty amount of money to have your abscess drained when you can just stop at your trusted doctors’ office and have it taken care of right away? It saves you time, money, and pain.
