Dr Peter O'Hara
Welcome to My Practice
As an experienced Skin Doctor, I love my work, and my patients appreciate the warmth, professional integrity, and open communication that define my medical practice.
I constantly upgrade my knowledge thru medical education, courses and conferences, and liaising with my medical peers.
I offer skin checks for common dermatological problems, mole checks, skin cancer checks, and skin cancer treatments, including cryotherapy, diathermy, curettage, excisions, grafts and flap repairs
I live at Woombye on the Sunshine Coast, and enjoy my family, surfing, tennis, food and wine

Dr O'Hara has been a full time skin cancer practitioner for the last 24years. He now sees patients at Nambour and Noosaville. If necessary, he has digital imaging equipment and software
Skin Cancer Treatment
If there is concern that a lesion could be skin cancer, then Dr O'Hara will biopsy or excise any suspicious lesions. Dr O'Hara can perform these procedures in a sterile environment with nurse assistance, including lesions of the face, nose and ears.
