Service Description

This is where the doctor securely sends a letter about your medical issue, usually along with biopsy results and images (with your permission) to another provider e.g. public hospital or plastic surgeon to provide ongoing care for the issue at hand. While we can deal with almost all skin cancers we see, there are occasions where other specialists need to be involved or where you may choose to have treatment performed through the public health system. We do not charge for writing these referrals when they are done in conjunction with a skin or spot check.

Cancellation Policy

While we endeavor to provide patients with a courtesy reminder email for their appointments, it is ultimately the patient's responsibility to remember the appointment time. Our practice requires 48 hours notice for cancellation or rescheduling of appointments. This allows us time to book another patient into the appointment slot. Where this is not provided, a cancellation fee of 50% of the planned consultation/treatment applies.
