Where Can I Get Minor Surgery and Procedures in Ceres, CA?

At Valley Primary & Urgent Care, we are equipped to perform a wide range of minor surgical procedures for patients who need prompt, expert care without the wait or expense of a hospital visit. Our experienced medical team provides high-quality treatment in a convenient and comfortable setting, right here in your community.

Some of the minor surgeries commonly performed at urgent care includes:

●Treatment of Simple Lacerations: If you or a family member suffers a cut or wound, our providers can thoroughly clean the area and close it with stitches, staples, or medical glue.
●Foreign Body Removal: We can safely remove splinters, glass, or other objects embedded in the skin or soft tissue, minimizing your risk of infection and further injury.
●Incision and Drainage of Abscesses: Our team is skilled at treating localized infections by draining abscesses, which helps relieve pain and speed up healing.
●Minor Burn Care: We treat minor burns that are not extensive or located on sensitive areas, helping to reduce pain and prevent complications.
●Cyst and Skin Lesion Removal: Simple cysts, warts, skin tags, and other small benign skin growths can often be treated and removed right in our clinic.
●Minor Orthopedic Care: Simple, closed fractures and joint dislocations (not involving major joints) can be stabilized with splinting or casting at our center.

While Valley Primary & Urgent Care is well-prepared to manage these minor procedures, some injuries or conditions require emergency room care—such as large or deep wounds, severe burns, heavy bleeding, or injuries near major organs. For these, please call 911 or go directly to the nearest ER.

At Valley Primary & Urgent Care, our experienced medical team is equipped to safely evaluate and treat uncomplicated skin abscesses. Abscesses are painful, swollen areas filled with pus, usually caused by infection. If you develop an abscess, our providers are trained to perform a minor surgical procedure called incision and drainage (I&D) right here in our clinic. This involves numbing the area, making a small incision to release the pus, thoroughly cleaning the site, and sometimes placing a small dressing to ensure proper drainage and healing.

However, not all abscesses are suitable for urgent care management. If your abscess is very large, located near sensitive areas (such as the face, groin, or rectum), or if you have underlying health conditions like diabetes or a weakened immune system, we may recommend treatment at a hospital or with a specialist. Additionally, if you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, chills, rapid heartbeat, or spreading redness, you may require more advanced care, and our team will guide you to the appropriate facility.

Valley Primary & Urgent Care can also prescribe antibiotics if there are signs of a deeper or spreading infection, such as cellulitis. After your procedure, we will provide you with thorough instructions on wound care and clear guidance on when to return for follow-up or seek additional medical attention.

If you have a minor injury that may require stitches or professional wound care, Valley Primary & Urgent Care is here to help. We offer both scheduled appointments and convenient walk-in services to ensure you receive timely, expert care when you need it most.

Our experienced medical team provides minor procedures—including stitches and wound care—with or without an appointment. Walk-ins are always welcome during our regular hours, so you can get prompt attention for cuts, lacerations, or other minor injuries without the long waits often experienced in emergency rooms.

If you’re unsure whether you need an appointment or can walk in, feel free to call our office. Our staff can answer your questions about our current wait times, availability, and whether your injury is best treated in our clinic or should be evaluated in an emergency room. For your convenience, we also offer online check-in to help you reserve your spot and minimize your wait.

If your wound is actively bleeding and won’t stop after several minutes of applying pressure, is especially deep, or is located on the face, hands, or over a joint, it’s important to seek prompt medical attention. In these cases, walking into Valley Primary & Urgent Care—or visiting the nearest emergency room if we are closed—is appropriate.
