Dr Chen Luo

Dr Chen is a proud Kiwi, having lived in Auckland for 29 years, and is a graduate of the University of Auckland School of Medicine. He trained under the renowned oncoplastic surgeon Ms Katherine Gale for 4 years in advanced skin surgery (flaps and grafts).

He is passionate about the early detection of skin cancer and in the latest year has identified 1.23% of all melanomas in NZ. He has an industry-leading benign malignant ratio of 2.64 which means very low unnecessary mole excisions - better or equal to the best professor in the world. He was able to diagnose one of the smallest melanomas in the world at 1.1mm.

He strives to help his patients feel relaxed and reassured throughout the process.

He was an Albany local for 10 years and currently lives in Hauraki with his wife and son.

Dr Chen is an Affiliated Provider for Southern Cross, a NIB First Choice provider and is recognised as a specialist with all major health insurers.

He aims to have a 2-week promise - see the patient within 2 weeks and if necessary can operate within 2 weeks of discussing the pathology result.
