Australian Skin Cancer Clinics - Blackburn

"I had my first consultation today regarding a whole body skin check. I was concerned about some spots that I thought were suspicious and wanted them checked for my peace of mind. I am very happy that I chose this clinic, the practice manager and reception staff were welcoming, friendly, and highly organised. I saw Dr. Justin Edwards who was magnificent - he was welcoming, patient, and listened to all of my concerns and questions, and provided me with great advice - he completed a very thorough skin examination. I highly recommend seeing him if you have any concerns regarding skin cancer. Well done ASCC Blackburn!"

"Blackburn Skin Cancer Clinic is very professional and the staff are all extremely friendly. It was easy to find and the doctors are very thorough in their skin checks and examinations."

"I highly recommend Dr David Nicholson at this clinic. In 2007, I was advised during an employment medical check to get a 2cm mole looked at. Dr Nicholson promptly removed it and there was a little sting but he assured me and made me feel comfortable. I went back and was told it was a benign but if it was not removed at the time it may have become malignant. I recall he bulk billed me and I appreciate him quickly removing the mole at the first consultation. I urge anyone out there to please do not delay getting these things checked as in my situation it potentially saved my life. I have no history of skin cancer and manage to stay out of the sun but this mole was as a result of one instance sun burn when as a teenager."

"I first visited this clinic last year after finding some spots on my feet, I’ve just had a subsequent appt to recheck that there are no changes, the doctors were thorough and took photos at both appts to review and ensure there have been no changes to the spots I was nervous about. The clinic is clean, the staff are helpful and friendly and I was happy with the fee I was charged. I will be going back again in 12 months."

"I have been going to this clinic for annual skin checks since 2014. Each visit has been with a different doctor and has been a full skin check with photos taken of my body overall and close-ups of any moles or spots of interest to compare if changes are suspected. On my 4th visit to this skin cancer clinic in January 2018 I had a minor concern regarding a mole that I had photos taken of in late 2016. When the doctor tried looking up the past photos in their system he found that no photos had been uploaded apart from a wide view from my first appointment. They had lost my photos from the most recent 2 appointments. The doctor was very apologetic but I see this as an inexcusable failure by a medical clinic. I had the attending doctor do the normal check and take photos (which I requested backups of) but I don't think I will be returning to this clinic. Its worth pointing out that the doctors from my previous appointments have all left the clinic."
