Minor Medical Procedures in Calgary SW

Small procedures. Careful hands. Same clinic.

Skin tags, cysts, ear wax, joint injections – the small things that are a big nuisance. At Westside, minor procedures are performed by our family physician, who brings additional surgical training (MRCS) to even the smallest job. Assessed properly, done gently, close to home.

What we offer

  • Skin tag removal – quick and gentle
  • Mole and skin lesion checks – with removal or biopsy where appropriate; anything suspicious is assessed carefully and referred when needed
  • Cyst and benign lump assessment and removal – where appropriate in a clinic setting
  • Ear wax removal – safe, physician-supervised
  • Joint and soft-tissue injections – for eligible conditions, discussed at assessment
  • Wart and small skin treatments
  • Ingrown toenail care

Every procedure starts with an assessment – because “should we?” always comes before “can we.”

Pain Management Led by a Family Physician

Why it matters where you go

A procedure is small only when it goes well. Our family physician’s surgical training (MRCS) means careful technique, honest advice about what belongs in a clinic versus a specialist’s care, and tidy results. And because we’re a full medical clinic, your procedure is documented in the same chart as the rest of your care.

Coverage box

Some procedures are insured by Alberta Health when medically necessary. Cosmetic removals (for example, skin tags or benign moles removed for appearance) and certain services are private-pay – you’ll always know which applies, with fees stated clearly, before anything is booked.

Good questions, honest answers

It depends on the procedure and the reason. Medically necessary care is insured; cosmetic removals are private-pay. We tell you exactly which applies at your assessment – before you decide anything.

Comfort comes first: local anaesthetic is used where appropriate, and every step is explained before it happens.

It gets a careful assessment. Where appropriate, tissue is sent for testing, and anything needing specialist care is referred promptly – no guesswork.

No – book an assessment directly.

That small thing you’ve been meaning to deal with? Deal with it.

Insured services are billed to Alberta Health when medically necessary; cosmetic and uninsured services are priced clearly before booking. Suitability for any procedure is determined at assessment. This page is general information, not medical advice.
