Skin cancer can typically be treated very effectively when discovered early. Removal of the lesion is typically the most effective treatment for skin cancer. Because the cancer cells may also be in the skin surrounding the lesion, it is necessary to remove some of that as well. The area is completely numbed while the lesion is removed. The cancerous growth is removed with a small knife. Cryotherapy, which involves either burning or freezing the growth, and radiation are two additional options for treatment.
Medical Weight Loss
Intense thirst, frequent urination, blurry vision, and sudden weight loss are all possible signs of type 1 diabetes. In the early stages of type 2 diabetes, there are typically no symptoms. The patient may experience a gradual accumulation of symptoms over time until multiple issues appear suddenly. Increased thirst, chronic dry mouth, frequent urination, tingling or numbness in the extremities, and wounds that heal slowly are examples of these.

Family Practice
Fred Rimmele received his M.D from Duke University Medical College in 1994 and completed his residency training in Family Medicine from the Maine-Dartmouth Family Practice Residency in 1997. Starting at the Foxboro area Health Center, he soon moved to Marblehead when he joined the faculty team of the Family Practice Residency at Beverly Hospital in August 1998. Here, he advanced swiftly to become the Medical Director of the Family Practice Health Center. When it became clear that the Residency training program would close in 2002, Fred was the catalyst in the plan to transform the Family Practice Center into a physician owned group practice – Danvers Family Doctors. Like everything else he did in life, his mission was clear and unwavering. The newfound practice would serve to provide the same quality of care that the Family Practice Health Center had done and he would be part of it. Fred never lived to see his project come to life. On his way to California for a Family Medicine conference, he became one of the victims on board United Airlines flight 175 in the awful tragedy of September 11. With his eye for detail, Fred had listed out his vision and plan for the practice very early in the transition. Today, this practice, which is dedicated in his memory will strive to achieve his vision and standard of care, so that patients who knew him could say: “You did that just the same way as Doctor Rimmele would have done for me.” That perhaps, is the best remembrance we can have of him to cherish his memory every day.
High Cholesterol
Emergency Care
When deciding whether to go to the doctor’s office, urgent care, or the emergency room, one should evaluate the severity of his or her problem. The doctor’s office corresponds to the least severe of cases, urgent care is for minor conditions that require fast treatment and the emergency room is only for critical conditions that require immediate care.
Colonoscopy
Flu Shots
Regardless of their level of health, patients can keep in touch with their healthcare providers through annual physical exams. The healthcare provider carefully evaluates the patient as a whole during the annual physical exam and records any changes since the last one. A disease or illness in its early stages may be identified by changes. When a problem is found early, it can be treated before it gets any worse. Additionally, annual physical examinations are an essential component of preventive care because this is the time when patients request preventative measures like flu shots.
Diarrhea
Immunizations
Guardians are free to be with their youngsters to assist with keeping them quiet and blissful during great kid visits. To determine a child’s growth rate, the healthcare provider examines their height, weight, and other relevant measurements. A discussion of developmental milestones like talking, crawling, and walking is also part of well-child visits. During the visit, the child may receive any vaccinations that are due. A well-child visit is a great time for parents to ask the healthcare provider any specific questions or concerns they may have about their child’s health.

Cervical Cancer
A screening called a Pap smear looks for abnormal cells in the cervix. Because it detects cervical cancer in its earliest stages, the screening is extremely beneficial because it enables prompt treatment and can assist a patient in completely avoiding cervical cancer.

Skin Care
A customized skin care assessment precedes your acne scar reduction session. This lets your doctor know how your skin will react to the laser and how many times you might need to have it done to get the best results.
Diabetes type 1, also known as juvenile diabetes, is typically diagnosed in childhood. Diabetes-stricken parents are more likely to have a child with the condition, so it could be genetic. Diabetes type 2 is by far the most prevalent type. Adults with certain risk factors, such as being overweight and physically inactive, are frequently diagnosed with it. The most significant distinction between type 1 and type 2 diabetes is that type 2 diabetes can typically be avoided through healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can cause serious health problems, such as damage to the nerves, kidneys, heart, eyes, gum disease, and persistent foot infections that can become so severe that amputation is necessary.
