Minor surgery your GP can do onsite
Many minor procedures don’t need a hospital or a surgeon. At Carindale Doctors, our GPs perform a range of minor surgery in our procedure room, including skin cancer excisions, biopsies, mole removal, cyst and lipoma removal, skin tag removal and ingrown toenail surgery. Having your own GP do the procedure means they already know your history, medications and any allergies.
Most procedures take 15 to 45 minutes under local anaesthetic, and you can go home straight afterwards. Anything removed that needs testing is sent to pathology, and your GP follows up the results and checks your wound as it heals.
In short: Carindale Doctors provides GP minor surgery inside Westfield Carindale, including excisions, biopsies, mole, cyst, lipoma and skin tag removal and ingrown toenail surgery. Most procedures take 15 to 45 minutes under local anaesthetic. Medicare rebates apply where eligible.
