Biopsy of a foot lesion - PiedRéseau Saint-Léonard
The PiedRéseau Saint-Léonard clinic offers a specialized service for foot lesion biopsies, a minor surgical procedure commonly performed in podiatry. This procedure involves the removal of a small sample of soft tissue from a suspicious lesion under local anesthesia. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis, allowing the podiatrist to accurately diagnose the dermatological pathology and determine the appropriate treatment based on the results. The biopsy is essential for assessing the lesion’s characteristics, including its size, shape, and severity, which aids in the formulation of an effective treatment plan for the patient.
At PiedRéseau Saint-Léonard, our team is dedicated to providing personalized care in a welcoming environment. The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to support the diagnosis and treatment of foot conditions. Our podiatrists, Dr. Paryse Mayhew and Dr. Gabriel Cartier, both obtained their Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degrees from the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières. They have completed internships in wound care and have participated in humanitarian missions. Their combined experience ensures that patients receive thorough assessments and tailored treatment plans for their foot health needs.
