Skin Cancer Checks

Skin Cancer Care

Skin cancer is one of the most common and preventable cancers in Australia. At Paterson Healthcare, our doctors are committed to protecting your skin health with careful, comprehensive skin cancer checks. Using advanced tools like dermatoscopes, we examine suspicious moles, spots, or skin changes to support early detection and reduce long-term risk.

Our GPs tailor each assessment to suit your needs, whether you are attending a routine check or seeking advice on a changing lesion. We provide clear guidance, accurate diagnosis, and ongoing care when required. Patients across Paterson trust us for our personal approach and clinical experience in skin cancer management.

Regular checks are especially important for those with fair skin, a history of sun exposure, or a family history of melanoma. With our caring team by your side, you can feel confident your skin is receiving the attention it deserves.

  • All of our highly qualified, independent doctors can provide complete skin examinations.
  • Our medical professionals also take new courses to improve their ability to identify skin cancers.

Please indicate when you book if you need a "Skin Check" appointment:

  • When a patient wants to get rid of skin cancer, they must first talk to their doctor to find out if they are a good choice and set up the best time for the treatment.
  • An extra 30–60 minutes of planning time will be needed for procedures. After going through the steps, you will be allowed to drive.
