Dr Todd Gunson
MBChB FRACP FACD FACMS FNZDSI
Todd Gunson is a consultant dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon.
Mohs micrographic surgery offers the most precise excision of skin cancer, and the subsequent reconstruction of the wound. His experience in Mohs surgery spans more than 4300 cases.
He strives for the best individualised treatment plan for you, and believes the time taken to explain the condition and its treatment options, can be as important as the treatment itself. He will advise against surgery, or suggest a more conservative option, if this is in your best interests.
Todd also performs general skin surgery for both skin cancer and non-cancerous conditions of the skin and nails.
