Ochre Skin Cancer Clinic Bruce
With a number of specialist GPs dedicated solely to skin cancer diagnosis and treatment, we are now offering comprehensive skin cancer care through our Ochre Skin Clinic. These doctors can conduct comprehensive preventive skin checks and examine any suspicious spots or moles. If a concerning mole or spot is found, a biopsy may be necessary and can usually be performed on the same day. Surgical skin cancer excision can usually be performed within the clinic environment also.
Most skin cancers can be managed ‘in-house’, and decades of local knowledge mean that they have well-established referral relationships with local General Surgery and Plastic Surgery specialists.
