Our Mission & Values
At South Road Dermatology, we put patients at the centre of all we do. Our values of trust, professionalism and respect form the foundation of everything we strive to achieve. Skin is our passion, and our mission is skin health for the whole family.
Specialist Dermatologists provide individually tailored treatments, involving patients in informed discussion of their condition and treatment options. South Road Dermatology is dedicated to providing access to the highest quality, personalised care grounded in evidence-based, best-practice medicine.
South Road Dermatology is a service entity that takes pride in providing high-quality support services and facilities for Dermatologists. The Dermatologists may practise at another facility or location, and they determine the days and times they choose to work, as well as their patient lists, clinical treatments, and patient fees. It is the individual patient’s right to obtain clinical notes and discuss with the practitioner the best location for consultation and treatment.
