One of many BCCs detected today.

It was a productive day here at Kings Park Clinic today diagnosing and treating a bunch of skin cancers. A very rewarding day and I’m glad to be able to offer this service so patients can stay “in-house” for their skin cancer treatments.

The benefit of skin cancer management in this setting is that both myself and your GP can regularly surveil you, therefore leading to less “over-calling” and therefore less unnecessary biopsies.

Of course, I do and am happy to see anyone here at Kings Park Clinic (you do not necessarily have to be a patient here). I always aim to communicate closely with your GP and make sure that they are kept in the loop.

Winter is actually a great time to be treated with topical agents if it is deemed necessary. Book in for a skin check - early detection leads to the best outcomes!

Braving the cold and rain, our responsible gents rocked up this morning for our monthly no-scalpel vasectomy list in Hahndorf.

Thanks to the not-for-profit and our hardworking team here Hahndorf Medical Centre, we are able to offer this method of contraception to all men in what in my opinion is the most accessible and affordable way in South Australia.

No-scalpel vasectomy is a very simple procedure that can be done under local anaesthesia (one of my cases this morning was completed in 12 minutes!)

If you would like to find out more about no-scalpel vasectomy, you can book a consult with me at Hahndorf Medical Centre in the Adelaide Hills or Kings Park Clinic closer to the city. You can also find out more by visiting www.vasectomy.org.au

I detected this ~3mm pigmented skin lesion on the foot a patient during a routine skin cancer check. At such a small size, a simple punch excision biopsy was sufficient to confirm my suspected diagnosis of a melanoma in-situ (MIS).

As a MIS is not yet invasive and the lesion was small, I was able to perform the curative wide local excision in the clinic using local anaesthetic, without the need for a graft or flap to close the defect - a great outcome for the patient.

I provide skin cancer checks and management at Hahndorf Medical Centre, Kings Park Clinic, and Skin Matters in Burnside.

For our no-scalpel vasectomy list this morning, we were visited by the O.G. Dr Justin Low, who is the Director of Vasectomy Services at MSI Australia. All the cases went smoothly and successfully and we checked all the right boxes! ✅

We have a list running here every month at Hahndorf Medical Centre.

If you would like to learn more about No-Scalpel Vasectomy, I provide consultations here at Hahndorf Medical Centre. If you live closer to the city, I also provide consultations at Kings Park Clinic.
