EKG Test
Electrocardiograms provide vital heart information. We perform on-site EKGs to evaluate heart rhythm, detect abnormalities, and assess cardiac health. This painless, non-invasive test gives immediate information about your heart’s electrical activity.
Who It’s For: Patients with heart symptoms, those needing preoperative clearance, or routine cardiac screening.
What to Expect: Placement of electrodes on chest and limbs, brief recording period, and immediate preliminary interpretation.
Benefits & Outcomes:
· Detection of arrhythmias
· Assessment for heart damage
· Convenient in-office service
· Quick results for timely decisions
Frequency/Timing: When medically indicated based on symptoms or screening needs.
Ear Lavage
Ear wax buildup can cause discomfort and hearing loss. We perform gentle ear lavage (irrigation) to safely remove impacted cerumen using warm water and specialized equipment. We assess the ear canal first to ensure the procedure is appropriate for your situation.
Who It’s For: Patients with symptomatic ear wax buildup causing hearing loss, discomfort, or interfering with examination.
What to Expect: Visual examination of ear canal, gentle irrigation with warm water, and post-procedure assessment.
Benefits & Outcomes:

· Prevention of complications from at-home attempts
Frequency/Timing: When symptomatic buildup occurs; not for routine maintenance.
Suture Removal
Proper suture removal promotes optimal healing. We remove sutures (stitches) with sterile technique, assess wound healing, and provide follow-up care instructions. We ensure your wound has healed sufficiently before removing sutures to minimize scarring and complications.
Who It’s For: Patients with healing wounds requiring suture removal, typically 7-14 days after placement.

Proper wound care prevents infection and promotes healing. We provide comprehensive wound assessment, cleaning, dressing, and follow-up for minor cuts, abrasions, surgical wounds, and other skin injuries. We use evidence-based techniques for optimal healing.
Who It’s For: Patients with acute or chronic wounds needing professional care.
What to Expect: Thorough wound assessment, gentle cleaning, appropriate dressing application, and follow-up plan.
Benefits & Outcomes:

Joint Injections
Joint pain often responds to targeted injections. We provide joint injections (shoulder, knee, trigger point) when clinically appropriate to reduce inflammation and pain. We use sterile technique and ultrasound guidance when needed for accuracy and safety.
Who It’s For: Patients with inflammatory joint pain, bursitis, or tendonitis appropriate for injection therapy.
What to Expect: Pre-procedure explanation, sterile preparation, precise injection, and post-procedure instructions.
