Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care
What is a ganglion cyst?
A ganglion cyst is a noncancerous, fluid-filled lump that most commonly develops around the wrist, hand, foot, or joints. It may fluctuate in size and can cause pain or mobility issues.
What symptoms may indicate a ganglion cyst?
Symptoms include a noticeable lump, pain with movement, joint stiffness, tingling, or discomfort during activities involving repetitive wrist or hand use.
Do ganglion cysts require treatment?
Treatment depends on symptoms. Some cysts resolve naturally, while others may require aspiration, splinting, or referral for surgical removal if pain or functional issues develop.
Can a ganglion cyst be harmful?
Ganglion cysts are benign, but they can press on nerves, limit mobility, or cause persistent discomfort. Evaluation helps confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions.
How is a ganglion cyst diagnosed?
Diagnosis is typically based on physical examination. Imaging such as ultrasound or X-ray may be recommended if symptoms are unclear or to rule out other causes.
Can a ganglion cyst be drained?
Aspiration is an option for some patients and involves removing fluid with a needle. Not all cysts respond to aspiration, and recurrence is possible.
Can I treat a ganglion cyst at home?
At-home care includes rest, splinting, and avoiding repetitive motions. However, professional evaluation is recommended to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
Does insurance cover ganglion cyst evaluation?
Most insurance plans cover office visits, in-home assessments, and treatment guidance for ganglion cysts.
Can telehealth be used for evaluation?
Yes. Telehealth can help determine whether symptoms require in-home evaluation, in-clinic treatment, or imaging.
When should I seek urgent care?
Seek urgent evaluation if the lump becomes red, hot, rapidly enlarges, causes severe pain, or you suspect an infection or injury.
Can a ganglion cyst return after treatment?
Yes. Even after aspiration or surgery, recurrence is possible. Lifestyle adjustments and early evaluation help reduce the recurrence risk.
Can activity worsen a ganglion cyst?
Repetitive motions, strain, or joint overuse may worsen symptoms or cause the cyst to increase in size.
Do ganglion cysts always cause pain?
No. Some cysts are painless and only noticed visually, while others interfere with movement or compress nearby nerves.
