Our dedicated skin cancer GP provides full-body checks (30 minutes) and spot checks (15 minutes) using dermatoscopes and imaging software. Suspicious moles are biopsied or excised onsite, with referrals for specialist surgery if needed. We educate patients on self-checks and schedule follow-ups for high-risk cases.

Preventive Health
Our preventive health checks identify chronic disease risks (diabetes, heart disease) through blood tests, lifestyle assessments, and family history reviews. We create custom plans for weight loss, smoking cessation, and chronic disease management, including Medicare-funded 45-49 and 75+ health checks.
