Dr Garnett at Work

Having worked as a rural generalist in many remote areas of Australia, I made the decision this year to have an impact on healthcare closer to home, right here in Cairns, but it wasn’t until the death of a family member, Emma,  at the tender age of 24 from melanoma, that I became focused on tackling skin cancer medicine myself.


and the Australian Story link is here.

After I made the commitment, I was fortunate enough to be selected to work for a year with local Dermotologist, Dr Ilsphi Browne at the Cairns Hospital GP with special interest in skin cancer. This has proven to be excellent preparation for opening the Ellipse Skin Cancer Clinic.

I'm fortunate to be able to continue my partnership with Dr Marcia Mickelburgh, a leading Cairns Plastic Surgeon so that any difficult excisions can be conferenced and planned within a multidisciplinary setting. 

Our high risk skin cancer team include our in-house Plastic Surgeon, GP with advanced training in dermatology and practice nurse as standard with occupational therapist, radiologist, oncologist and physiotherapist, as required.

I can't think of anything I want more than to share the wonderful lifestyle that Cairns has to offer with my family. As an active family we love being out and about in the community and beyond.

But, as the images show below, we are well aware of the sun risks, that even the mildest of winter days can bring.

We'd love to chat about what we take on our trips to make sure we are prepared for a full day's adventuring.
You win some, you lose some. I guess it's a matter of perspective.
Sometimes there are just 'no words'
Are we there yet?
The dangers of every wild-life adventure appear at the most unusual of times
Cairns is just spectacular. Know where this is?
but ... it all comes down to family

What's next ...

Well now you've got to know me a little, how about I get to know you?  If you have any concerns, please schedule an appointment.
