Stitches may be necessary if you have undergone a surgical procedure or have experienced a deep cut. With the use of small threads known as sutures, stitches are used to close a wound within the skin. At Health Direction Medical Center, Dr. Esmilkrys B. Ramirez and Dr. Carlos Mella-Picel provide stitches, as well as sutures removal when necessary for Chicago, IL area patients. The main goal of both stitches and the removal of sutures is to protect the open wound, prevent infection, and create as little scarring as possible.

How Are Stitches and Sutures Removal Performed?
Prior to recommending or providing stitches, your wound will be carefully evaluated and cleaned. The area may then be numbed with a local anesthetic. Small suture threads and a sterilized needle are used to carefully close the wound and protect the area.
For suture removal, the threads are simply cut and removed. Our team of medical professionals will let you know when to return to our facility in order to have your sutures carefully removed. We will also provide any necessary aftercare instructions to ensure your wound is properly cared for.

We’ve been with Health Direction since 2020 and have been happy with how they take care of us. The transition to the Livewell app has made everything smoother and more efficient. Easier to schedule visits and easier to communicate with the physicians/staff regarding our needs. The front desk staff are also friendly and accommodating. Overall a pleasant experience with them!
I enjoyed my experience at the clinic. I felt cared for and they listened to my needs. At the end of the day my symptoms improved and I feel calmer. Thank you!
I Love this clinic I had never felt so comfortable at a doctors visit! Dr.Mella is such a good listener and answers all my questions in details. I recommend this place very neat and friendly!
Excellent doctor! The attentions are first class and the friendly staff and seeing their friendly faces makes the difference.
