If you have never been treated by a PA before, you may be surprised to see how much they can do. A PA works under the direction of a physician, handling routine care such as skin cancer examinations, ordering laboratory tests, biopsies, cryotherapy (freezing), wound closures (stitches), and writing prescriptions.
