Looking For A Skin Cancer Clinic - Gold Coast?

Skin Cancer Clinic Gold Coast is an advocate of clinics that offer their patients innovative and effective skin cancer treatments done in a caring and compassionate manner.  You will have to do some research as not all clinics specialise in all forms of skin cancer. Make sure you find a clinic that knows how to deal with your specific type of cancer.

While Australia has the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, due to the intense levels of sunlight it receives, early detection can help you beat the disease.  Click on the right or send in the form to find out more.

Before contacting a skin cancer clinic, please consider the following points:

1.     What are the qualifications and experience of the clinic staff?

Make sure you ask if a qualified dermatologist or specially trained GP (General Practitioner) will be checking your skin. Find out as well if any of the clinic staff are accredited with organisations like the Australasian College of Dermatologists or the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. If any digital photos are taken of spots/moles, these should be reviewed by a dermatologist.

2.     How much will a clinic consultation and treatment cost me?

Some clinics will bulk bill you for the initial consultation; others will require payment upfront. It’s best that you ask at the time you are making your appointment if the clinic bulk bills and if there are other costs that need to be paid for as well.

3.     How will my diagnosis and treatment be handled?

If you are told that you are positive for skin cancer, ask what kind of skin cancer you have, how extensive is the cancer, and whether you have to start treatment immediately. Ask what your treatment options are and the benefits and risks for each one.

4.     Can I get all the necessary information and request for follow-up consultations?

Once you’ve completed the examination, the clinic should provide you with information on skin cancer prevention and any follow-up visits you may need.  The information you ask for should include test results, sun protection and prevention information, and a diagnosis and treatment record to be sent to your GP.

If you are searching for clinic options, please contact Skin Cancer Clinic Gold Coast’s preferred skin cancer clinic to see how they can help you today.
