If you have a time and date booked for a minor procedure, please show up 30 minutes before your booked time to register with your health card. You will fill out a consent form at that time and your surgeon will answer any questions you may have. A local anesthetic may be used that can be painful initially, however, facilitates a more comfortable procedure. It lasts the duration of and up to 6- 8 hours after the procedure. Wound care instructions will be given afterward as well as a follow-up appointment. If you miss your appointment date, know that it may take weeks or months to find another available time to access the minor procedure suite and there will be a penalty fee charged for the procedure room.
