At Tuross Head Medical Centre, your health and welfare are our primary concerns. We aim to perform Procedures as quickly as possible while keeping patients safe and comfortable. Here are some of the minor procedures we offer:
 

• Suturing of open wounds and injuries
• Curettage for early detection of some uterine conditions
• Snips and shaves for effective family planning
• Removal of cysts to prevent infections and other health complications
• Removal of in-growing nails to prevent bone infections
• Infection control
• Punch biopsies for early detection of certain types of cancer
• Removal of lymphoma that has spread outside the lymph system
• Abscess removal to relieve pain and prevent serious complications
• Treatment of pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions

These are just some of the services offered here at Narooma Medical Centre. Our team of medical professionals can recommend the best course of treatment or procedure that will suit your medical needs and restore you to full health.

A key component of our comprehensive medical services is ensuring patient comfort. On many occasions, this includes alleviating fear and anxiety.
Our doctors are fully aware of the fact that many patients do not have the same knowledge and training in the field of health care. This leaves them susceptible to misconceptions, which lead to apprehensions about the procedure.
Part of their job description is explaining the procedures thoroughly in ways that patients will easily understand. It also involves the discussion of sedation and anaesthesia options. In many cases, our doctors will recommend the presence of family members or a close personal friend to help put the patient at ease and in a better position to calmly understand the situation. With better understanding comes the assurance that the procedure is safe and that the doctor performing it is highly qualified.
