Surgical Options at EBO MD
In-office minor procedures can bring huge value when you need relief, repair, or a clear next step without being bounced around the healthcare system. At EBO MD, many outpatient office procedures can be completed during your visit when clinically appropriate, helping reduce discomfort, stress, and delays.
For patients across Southeast Missouri, our goal is simple: handle what can be handled safely in the office and coordinate the right referral when it cannot.
WHY THIS SERVICE MATTERS
Same-visit care that reduces pain, worry, and downtime
Minor procedures are not “minor” when they are happening to you. They can be disruptive, painful, and distracting. Having office-based options available can shorten the path from problem to plan.
Relief and repair
Address issues like painful cysts, infected areas that need drainage, or wounds that need proper closure and care.
Diagnosis when needed
When a spot or lesion needs evaluation, procedures like biopsies can help support a clear diagnosis and next step.
Better continuity
Your procedure and follow-up can be coordinated under one roof, with sensible monitoring and a plan for healing.
If your procedure requires lab support, you can also review lab services and our wholesale lab prices for send-out testing when needed.
IN-OFFICE PROCEDURES

When referral is the best move
If you need additional care or a specialist referral, EBO MD has the incentive to refer you to the best. Hospital affiliation is not the deciding factor. Your well-being is the job.
We focus on appropriate triage, practical coordination, and follow-through so you are not left guessing what happens next.
Ask About a Procedure
WHAT TO EXPECT
How outpatient office procedures usually work
Every case is different, but most office procedures follow a predictable process: evaluate, decide whether in-office care is appropriate, complete the procedure, then provide a clear healing plan and follow-up.
1) Evaluate
Review symptoms, exam findings, and whether the procedure is appropriate in-office.
2) Prepare
Discuss risks, anesthesia options when relevant, and what to expect during and after.
3) Treat
Complete the procedure using clinically appropriate technique and aftercare guidance.
4) Follow-up
Monitor healing, address concerns, and coordinate referral or pathology results if needed.

Are these procedures included with membership?

Do skin biopsies include pathology?
The procedure may be performed in the office, but pathology processing is typically an additional charge. If send-out testing is needed, you can review lab pricing.
Will it hurt?
Discomfort varies by procedure. Your provider will review anesthetic options when relevant, what you may feel during treatment, and what aftercare can help reduce pain and irritation.
What if the issue is more complex than expected?
