An alternative to the emergency room

Many minor procedures can be treated without a trip to the hospital.

Need an abscess drained, a cyst removed or stitches taken out? Many minor procedures can be performed quickly in our clinic, without the long wait at the emergency room.

After assessing your condition, our physician or nurse practitioner will determine whether the procedure is appropriate and, in many cases, perform it during the same appointment. No referral is required and a receipt is provided for your private insurance.

Frequently asked questions

What you need to know

Which procedures do you perform on site?
Sutures, abscess drainage, cyst removal and cryotherapy for skin lesions (warts, keratoses and other benign lesions).
Can I book the procedure directly?
You book a medical consultation: the healthcare professional assesses the lesion or wound, confirms the procedure is indicated and performs it during the same appointment.
Who performs the procedure?
Our general practitioners and specialized nurse practitioners, depending on the type of procedure.
Is suture removal charged separately?
No, if the suture was done here the removal is included in the price. If it was done elsewhere, removal alone is $75.
Is this covered by RAMQ?
These are private services, not covered by RAMQ. A detailed receipt is provided for your private insurance.
When should I go to the hospital instead?
For a life-threatening emergency (chest pain, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, heavy bleeding, signs of stroke), call 911 or go to the hospital emergency room.
