Hamilton Skin Cancer Centre
Primary Care Based Skin Cancer
Diagnosis and Treatment
Hamilton Skin Cancer Centre was established to provide a dedicated, state of the art primary care-based facility, to handle all aspects of skin cancer from skin checks and mole mapping to surgery and nonsurgical treatments.
Hamilton Skin Cancer Centre works closely with local general practitioners, Waikato Hospital and private specialists as part of a team to help in the early detection and optimal treatment of skin cancer.
Please note skin check bookings are for existing
patients only
As New Zealand has one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world, our doctors are passionate about encouraging patients to have skin checks and mole maps knowing that early detection and optimal treatment is key to successful treatment.
Dr Bert Rauber and Dr Joe Cornforth are part of a team that provide services at the centre, they have had many years’ experience in skin cancer medicine through clinics run at Hamilton East Medical Centre. It was the success and demand of these services that led to the formation of Hamilton Skin Cancer Centre.

Early detection and optimal treatment is key for any skin cancers
New Zealand is a fantastic country but our outdoor lifestyle, strong sun and skin types have led to us having one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world.
And whilst we think about our skin during the summer season, really, it’s something we should consider throughout the year.
Skin cancers rarely hurt… BUT they can be seen by an expert at a skin check.
Should I choose a skin check or Naevus mole mapping?
Skin checks and NAEVUS mole mapping are both excellent ways to check your skin for cancer. However, the two options are different and will suit different people. There is no wrong way to have your skin checked – the most important thing is to get it checked by an expert.
