Making an Appointment

If you would like to see one of our dermatologists at Northern Sydney Dermatology for a medical condition please ring (02) 9958 1555 to make an appointment.

For cosmetic consultations a referral is not required as these consultations do not attract a Medicare rebate.

Northern Sydney Dermatology - New Patient Registration Form

The object of the initial consultation is to diagnose your skin condition. Sometimes additional tests will be required and often a follow up appointment is necessary. Dr Dawes-Higgs, Dr Wines or Dr Howes will take the time to explain your problem in easy to understand terms and will usually give you information to read as it is difficult to remember all that is discussed during the consultation.
