Pediatric Minor Surgical Procedures for Children

Safe, Skilled Pediatric Care at Children’s Oasis Pediatrics

At Children’s Oasis Pediatrics, we know that even small medical procedures can feel big when they involve your child. Our team—Dr. Sharon Novy and Dr. Katherine Krieg—provide safe, gentle, and evidence-based care for minor surgical needs right here in our pediatric office.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that pediatric minor surgical procedures for infants and children be done by trained pediatric professionals who understand a child’s unique medical needs. Our office follows these guidelines to keep your child comfortable and safe.

Circumcision for Newborns (Up to 3 Weeks of Age)

Newborn Circumcision • Safe Pediatric Procedure • Infant Care

We offer newborn circumcision for babies up to 3 weeks old.
Our approach focuses on:

A calm, warm environment
Safe pain control
Careful technique
Clear after-care instructions for parents

The AAP states that the health benefits of newborn circumcision outweigh the risks when done by trained professionals. We are experienced in performing this procedure and supporting parents through the decision and after-care process.

Medical Ear Piercing

Sterile Ear Piercing • Pediatric Ear Piercing • Safe for Children

Ear piercing is a personal milestone for many families. In our office, we offer medical ear piercing using sterile equipment and child-friendly techniques.

Benefits of medical ear piercing include:

A clean, medical environment
Single-use sterile piercing system
Comfort-focused care
Guidance on preventing infection

This service is perfect for families who want a safe, pediatric-based option instead of a mall kiosk. We only pierce ages 3 years and up, and we require proof of vaccines, per the AAP vaccine schedule.

Minor Laceration Management

Stitches for Kids • Cuts and Scrapes • Pediatric Wound Care

Kids get bumps, cuts, and scrapes—it’s part of growing up.
We provide evaluation and treatment for minor injuries, including:

Cleaning and closing small cuts
Skin adhesive (glue) when appropriate
Steri-strips or stitches
Pain control to help keep your child comfortable

We also make sure you know how to care for the wound at home. Following AAP-supported pediatric wound care guidelines helps reduce infection and improve healing.

Removal of Stitches or Staples

Stitch Removal • Pediatric Follow-Up Care • Wound Healing

If your child had stitches or staples placed—whether here or somewhere else—we can remove them safely in our office. We check the healing area, remove the stitches or staples gently, and let you know how to continue caring for the skin.
