  WHatever you do , do not go to this clinic for a skin check. My Dr referred me to Dr Chan for a " comprehensive" skin check for skin cancers. I queried a large red mark on my calf, bigger than a 5 cent piece and he said it was nothing. He barely checked any of my skin and then removed a squamois cell on my arm, this was all done in 15 mins and without help of a nurse. I was in terrible discomfort from my wound and when bandage came off I saw why, he had done a really tight stitch in centre if the wound to being the wound together , had he had a nurse she could have held it together. The end result was my arm is now puckered. When I told him he rushed the job ( he was running down the hallway in between waiting for anesthetic to work squishing in patients) he told me to just massage it with bio oil, two years later it is still,puckered. His report back to my gp of my supposed comprehensive test was he removed scc , patient has " bccs all over the place" very professional !
  Due to his incompetent manner the following year I had my annual skin check by another Doctor. I pointed out the red mark on my leg which had not got any biggef but had not gone away. She said her mantra was when in doubt check it out and did a punch biopsy. I had two bccs on my back..." Not all over the place"
  Pathology showed the mark on my leg was a melanoma and that I had had it awhile. I was in shock . I had it removed within three days the scar is about 12 cm long , Dr Henry Law from Skin Check did the most amazing job , you can barely see the scar and there is no puckering whatsoever.
  Ive complained to Dr Chan and he didnt even have the decency to say sorry, he certaonly didnt admit he rushed things when he clearly did, he blamed me for not going back the following month, which is a complete lie because He never advised me to do so, had he, I would have told him I cant I am already booked to go iverseas and I wint even be in Australia.
  I have reported matter to ARPRA and I plan to domas much as I can to make him accountable.
  We as patients pay a lot of money and put our trust in " speciialists" we do not expect to come away from a skin check with the all clear and find out that they have missed a melanoma, particularly when I pointed it out to him.
  How many if Dr Chans patients are getting on with their lives thinking their skin is fine and they have a melanoma growing away..they are tickimg time bombs.
  Do yourselves a favour and go to Skin Check and do not go to Dr J Chan
