About us...

NORTH WEST SYDNEY DERMATOLOGY & LASER is a specialist dermatology clinic dealing with all types of skin disorders & skin cancers. We specialise in the management of skin cancers and Dr Stephens has a special interest in the use of laser and various types of light in non-surgical diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer. If you have been diagnosed with a small BCC or other non-melanoma skin cancer and wish to avoid the scalpel then you may be interested to read on about the tumour "mapping" we offer (done with infra-red lasers) and  "biphasic PDT" that we perform. These innovations are not available in Australia outside of our clinics in Sydney & Noosa Heads, Queensland. We also perform surgical removals where non-surgical treatments are inappropriate.
