I’m new to the area and needed my six monthly skin check at short notice. This was my third skin check in the last year after a recent excision. This was not like my other skin checks. Do not recommend. I’m reminded why I only usually visit female clinicians. John Caska is a disgrace to the profession.

I cannot understand how Dr Prahan, is still working here. DR Caska, saved my life 12 years ago, finding an aggressive melanoma on my arm, went and saw Dr Prahan last year, and was so unimpressed, i have a thick folder of my history, that he had in front of him, and he still asked why was i there. Seriously, now i have nowhere to go that covers procedures with bulk billing, as on a concession, and unaffordable to a melonoma survivor, very unfair to have someone with obviously no care or empathy at this clinic.

Very similar experience to the other reviewers at this one star level. 5 mins tops in the clinic, which is not an issue in itself but very brief when his exam only took 1 or those minutes. He looked at a mole I have had for my whole life (45yrs) and I told him 'that has been there since birth' and he said 'no, it is new for sure' and used the cryo to freeze it. He then looked at one or two others and froze a couple with a milisecond puff of cryo that will not do a thing. Something is honestly not right here.

When Dr Caska retired I went to see Dr Pradhan for my usual check up and to look at a lesion on the top of my head He zapped a couple of things on my back and a few on my face but didn’t look at my arms or legs at all. He had a brief glance at the head lesion but without the magnifying glass He gave it a quick zap and said it was a skin cancer and sometimes they go away after a zap. I asked him what type of skin cancer it was and he gave me a less than convincing answer and told me to come back in 2 1/2 months and he would h... read more
