​Dr Maureen  is focused on ensuring early diagnoses of skin cancers.  If diagnosed early skin cancers can be more easily treated, often without surgery.  Dr Maureen's extensive surgical experience means that most skin cancers can be removed in the clinic under local anesthetic.  Dr Maureen can perform even complex repairs on all areas of the body while aiming to achieve good cosmetic outcomes for patients.  Dr Maureen is striving to set up total body imaging facilities for patients with extensive moles and/ or history of melanoma.  We also offer a comprehensive array of non surgical treatments for skin cancers.  Dr Maureen is happy to receive referrals from all GPs or specialists.

Dr Maureen has 4 adult children living in Brisbane.  Dr Maureen and her pilot partner love getting out of the city and camping in remote areas.  They love our bush and countryside  and support the Royal Flying Doctor.   Her partner has voluntary completed over 150 Angel flights, flying patients from the bush who can not afford to travel to the city  enabling them to receive medical care they would otherwise not be able to attain.  In good weather, they will be soaring the sky's looking for more remote spots to check out.

As Maureen is a specialist, medicare require a referral from your GP.
