I have been providing operative and non-operative management for skin cancer including both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers (ie Squamous cell cancer, basal cell cancer and merkel’s cell cancer) for 25 years.
I am trained in dermatoscopy and use it for skin assessment and surgical planning. When necessary to plan treatment, I will carry out a punch biopsy for diagnosis before surgery. I use various plastic surgical techniques for skin cancer surgery when needed, eg. skin flaps and grafts, on the head, neck and body. I do sentinel node biopsy surgery for melanoma.
I am a Southerncross Approved Provider for skin surgery.
I provide the following skin cancer service:
- Surgery for all skin cancers including flaps and skin grafts.
- Punch biopsy for diagnosis
- Topical (non-surgical) management of early skin cancer and pre-cancerous lesions including use of Aldara and Efudix topical creams & Liquid Nitrogen.
