Hand and skin cancer procedures
How a referral works
- See your GP first. Your GP or dermatologist will assess the problem and refer you to Dr Anavekar.
- Consultation. Dr Anavekar examines you, explains the diagnosis and treatment options, and gives you a written quote.
- Treatment. Surgery is performed at Warringal Private Hospital, Heidelberg or St Vincent's Private Hospital, Kew, depending on the procedure.
Every patient is different. Many of these procedures have Medicare item numbers and may be covered by private health insurance for in-hospital treatment. Your out-of-pocket costs are explained before surgery.
