Minor Ops
Minor skin procedures carried out at the practice by our GP's trained in surgical techniques.
Overview
Dr Richard Worth and Dr Philippa Le Gresley carry out minor operations at the practice, including punch biopsies and the removal of moles, warts, skin tags and other lumps and bumps.
Minor surgery appointments are longer than a standard consultation, so the procedure can be carried out professionally and safely.
Our doctors use disposable instruments for every minor operation, so nothing is ever reused between patients.
