Skin checks for Kilmore and the Mitchell Shire
Patients from Kilmore and Kilmore East already make the drive to SkinGP Woodend for their skin checks. It’s about a 45-minute drive, and everything from your full skin check to any biopsy or sunspot treatment is handled by the same SkinGP team, in the same clinic.
Is it worth the drive from Kilmore?
Plenty of Kilmore patients already make the trip. Here’s how we make it count:
-
One appointment, a comprehensive check. A full skin check takes 30 to 40 minutes. Biopsies and follow up treatments can also be scheduled quickly.
-
Results by phone. Biopsy results usually come back within a few days, and can be discussed by phone, so you’re not driving back just to hear them.
-
Your skin on file. Total body photography means every future check compares against today, so each visit is more useful than the last.
-
Easy parking. On-site, right at the clinic on Anslow Street.
Planning your trip
By car: about 45 minutes from Kilmore to 44B Anslow Street, Woodend, with on-site parking.
When to book: we’re open Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm. A mid-morning appointment avoids the school run at either end.
Looking for a dermatologist for a skin check?
It’s one of the most common things people search for, and a fair question. Here’s the short answer: for a skin check, you don’t need a dermatologist, and you don’t need a referral.
Accredited Skin Cancer Doctors are medical practitioners who have completed advanced training and formal assessment in skin cancer medicine through the Skin Cancer College of Australasia. Checking, diagnosing and treating skin cancer is their focus, and they treat the majority of skin cancers in the clinic.
Dermatologists are specialists who treat a wide range of skin conditions. If your case needs one, for example a lesion in a complex location, your SkinGP doctor will refer you and send your results and images ahead.
So you can start with us and be confident you’ll be pointed in the right direction if you need more.
Fees
Full skin check: $228 out of pocket for all patients, including total body photography and mole mapping. Spot check or urgent lesion review: $69.50, or $59.95 with a concession card. SkinGP doesn’t offer bulk-billed skin checks. See all fees.
