Western Skin Institute does not provide dermatological advice via email. In Australia, your General Practitioner is an appropriate first port-of-call for discussion about your medical treatment. Whilst it is tempting to self diagnose, google treatment options and shop around for Specialists; this approach is not recommended. We do however, provide excellent information about Mohs surgery (see Services ), patient information (see Patient info) and make regular updates on the latest advances in Dermatology (see Skin Blog).
Address: 378 Main Road West, St Albans, VIC 3021
Opening Hours:
Monday to Friday: 0900 - 1630
(*note: some variation to clinic hours may exist due to Dr. Tan's commitment at various public hospitals*)
A REFERRAL WILL BE REQUIRED AS THIS IS A SPECIALIST DERMATOLOGIST CLINIC.
Why do I need a referral?
Whilst anyone can see a Specialist in Australia, to get a rebate from Medicare, you will require a GP referral. No referral = No rebate.
A note for new patients:
Please arrive 15 mins prior to your appointment as you will be required to fill in paperwork to assist in your care and communication back to your G.P.
