Home or Hospital Visit
Our providers meet you where you are in your medical journey to provide you with an individualized care plan
Skin Lesion Procedure
Our providers are trained to remove various skin lesions that may be causing you discomfort or cosmetic issues. They will make a small cut in your skin around the lesion. Any concerning lesions are sent to a lab to evaluate for benign or malignant skin conditions (i.e. skin cancer) to guide your care moving forward.
Medicare Annual Wellness

Sick Visit

Circumcision Procedure
Our pediatricians are skilled at this quick in-office procedure to remove your baby’s foreskin. We ensure that your baby is swaddled and given pain medication during their visit, and you can stay right at the bedside with them for added comfort.
Botox for Migraine
Based on your migraine history, your provider may recommend a visit with Dr. Michels for Migraine Botox injections. These small injections into 7 muscle groups in your head and neck over a series of weeks have been shown to improve headache symptoms
Cyst/Abscess Drainage
Our providers are specially trained to make a small incision in your skin to drain cysts/abscesses to evaluate and treat current infection, and prevent further infection from forming
Nexplanon Insertion
Dr. Michels is skilled at the insertion of this birth control method. A small rod is placed in your arm through an incision in your skin. Once in place, Nexplanon can be used to prevent pregnancy for up to 4 years.
Environmental Allergies & Food Testing
Blood tests and skin tests for a wide range of enviromental and food allergies
Foley Cath Placement
If you have issues with urinary retention, Dr. Michels may be able to assist you with the placement of a Foley catheter. A procedure done in the office that involves placing a flexible tube into your urethra to your bladder, where a tiny balloon is inflated to keep it in place. Your urine will then drain into a bag, and you will be educated on the cleaning and care of this new device.
Blood Draws
Your provider may on occasion order blood tests to evaluate and monitor your conditions. Our MAs are trained to collect these specimens and send them to the lab for results, which your provider will then explain to you at a later date.
Kenalog Shot for Allergies
A steroid injection given every 3 months to prevent the inflammatory response in your body caused by allergens. This injection ordered upon meeting the criteria.
EKG
A test ordered by your provider to evaluate the electrical health of your heart. It involves placing 9 stickers on your chest to give your provider 12 views of your heart’s electrical activity. They are evaluating both common and dangerous conditions such as atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction (heart attack), and left ventricular hypertrophy as well as many others.
Child Immunizations
An easy and convenient way to ensure that your child is fully protected from the crippling and life-threatening effects of diseases such as polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and many others
UTI Test
If you feel you are experiencing symptoms of a UTI such as burning with urination, frequency/urgency, foul or cloudy urine, you will provide us with a urine sample in a collection cup. It will be evaluated using a rapid test performed in the clinic, and if it is concerning for infection, we will begin treatment and send the specimen to a lab to culture the bacteria and better guide your care.
