“Nelson Skin Doctors is Nelson's newest specialised skin cancer clinic, founded by two passionate and highly qualified medical professionals who recognised the urgent need for accessible, expert skin cancer care in sunny Nelson. General Practitioners Dr Katie Maver and Dr Arwen Mohr are Accredited Skin Cancer Doctors, both holding Advanced Clinical Certificates in Dermoscopy, Skin Cancer Medicine and Surgery from the Skin Cancer College of Australasia. Together with experienced nurses Bridget and Sally and their welcoming administrative team of Amy and Caroline, they have created a clinic that combines world-class medical expertise with a warm, comfortable environment. Located at 57 Collingwood Street in central Nelson, the clinic offers comprehensive skin cancer services including full-body skin checks, specific spot examinations, biopsies, and surgical treatments, without requiring referrals. Nelson Skin Doctors serves Nelson's active, outdoor-loving community where sun exposure is a year-round reality. With New Zealand having the world's highest skin cancer rates, their mission of prevention, early detection, expert treatment, and patient education addresses a critical community health need while making specialised care accessible to everyone.”
