Warts - Laser ablation of warts is a safe effective method.  The procedure involves local anesthesia of the area where the lesion is.  The laser is applied in intermittent fashion, then the surgeon carefully debrides the material.  A short recovery period is required to allow for healthy skin recovery, mostpeople are back to full duty within 1 week and the effectiveness is 100% .  Little to no scar formation is noted after full healing.   

Digital Radiographs - Latest technology in digital X-rays in our office allow us to obtain brilliant images, significantly reduce radiation exposure to our patients, and provide instantaneous radiographic results for our patients.  In addition, patients can obtain disc copies of their films to be reviewed by their family physician or other specialist.  

Diagnostic Ultrasound - Used as a non-invasive, convenient, and painless imaging tool when assessing tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, cysts, and other soft tissue abnormalities.  If necessary, the doctor will consider an MRI to obtain more detailed imagery to determine the optimal treatment.  

Doppler Ultrasound Vascular Testing - Used as a non-invasive, convenient, and painless screening tool when assessing patients for arterial disease.  There are 2 major arteries that supply the majority of blood to each foot.

This method is available for many common procedures performed in the office, including ingrown nail surgery, warts, ganglion cysts and cortisone injections. 

Operating Suite - For some post-operative dressing changes, wound checks, and minor surgical procedures, the operating suite provides an  enclosed, clean environment.  Overhead operating room lighting, hard floors, and aseptic conditions ensure that  chances of infection are minimized and patient satisfaction is optimized.  CO2 laser, ultrasound, and nitrogen gas powered surgical instruments and full sterile conditions are available in our Operating Suite.
