Discussion📓 Skin cancer checks Sydney?

Hi there, I have very fair and freckly skin. Also had a BCC cut out about a year ago from my neck. I’m looking for a great derm or skin doctor to do yearly checks. I always leave my appointments feeling so rushed and drained wallet. Would love to know if anyone in a similar situation has seen someone amazing. Thanks!

Dr Patrick at the skin cancer clinic in Leichhardt. You can book online. He’s lovely and a real skin nerd - absolutely loves talking about it and spends all the time you need to answer questions and explain things. He did a biopsy on a mole on my back earlier this year that he thought might be a melanoma. Explained everything thoroughly, took me through the photo and why he thought it was worth a biopsy. Then spent a while explaining the result a week later. Turned out to be harmless. I felt very well cared for and have done every time I’ve seen him.
