What office procedures are available?

To ensure you get fast, accurate answers about your health, the providers at Zidon Internal Medicine perform several office procedures on-site, including:

• Electrocardiograms (EKGs)
• Skin biopsies
• Flu tests
• COVID-19 tests
• Pregnancy tests
• Colon cancer screenings
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screenings

The providers also offer hearing screenings and visual acuity testing in-office as part of their preventive care services.

Why would I need office procedures?

You may need office procedures as part of the diagnostic testing process for unusual symptoms that affect your health and quality of life.

The Zidon Internal Medicine providers may recommend an EKG to screen for heart disease or other conditions that affect your cardiovascular health. The internal medicine specialists may recommend this type of test if you have an irregular heart rate, persistent fatigue, or shortness of breath.

If you have symptoms of an infection or come into contact with an infected person, you may need flu tests, COVID-19 tests, or an HIV screening.

People over 50 and those with risk factors for cancer may need routine colon cancer screenings to identify warning signs of cancer in the earliest stages. 

If you have unusual changes in your skin or suspicious moles, you may need a skin biopsy, a procedure to remove a sample of your skin for further testing under a microscope.

What are the benefits of office procedures?

The office procedures available at Zidon Internal Medicine ensure you get the testing you need to confirm your diagnosis as soon as possible. You won’t have to travel elsewhere for your procedure, so there are no delays in your medical care.

The providers use the latest technologies to evaluate your health. They can also tailor a treatment plan to your individual needs to address both acute and chronic conditions, like flu infections and heart disease.

You also have access to diagnostic office procedures when you schedule a sick visit because you aren’t feeling well, during your annual preventive care visits, and during your chronic disease management checkups.
