Dr David Lim

David has extensive experience in skin cancer and an exquisite ability to detect the earliest signs of skin cancer. This means that you can often avoid the need for invasive surgical treatments. He is also a proponent of treating early, pre-cancerous changes to stop lesions progress to skin cancers.

He also has considerable surgical experience, successfully performing surgery on over 10,000 skin cancers as well as countless minimally invasive procedures. He previously worked at Skin Institute for five years and while there he was the busiest doctor, performing the most surgeries. David has an extremely low incomplete excision rate, meaning that you are far less likely to need to return for repeated surgeries on the same skin cancer. He delivers very good cosmetic results following surgery with high-satisfaction amongst patients who continue to return for regular checkups.
