Dr Chris Miller

Chris is a primary care skin cancer doctor, working exclusively in skin cancer and skin care.

Chris established Spot Check Clinic in 2017 to realise his vision of a patient-centred medical skin service prioritising understanding and treating patients’ skin concerns. He focuses on providing evidence-based, cost-effective skin cancer, health and rejuvenation treatments.

Chris graduated from the University of Adelaide in 1988 and spent time working in general practice and sexual health, where he learnt the importance of an empathetic and relaxed consulting style while educating and encouraging patients to take responsibility for reducing their risk. In the late 90s and early 2000s, Chris became interested in the potential of the internet and computing to improve medical care. He gained postgraduate qualifications in computer science, health informatics and digital communication. He worked for several years in software development and as an internet consultant to health sector clients before returning to clinical medicine.

Skin cancer practice allows Chris to combine his interests in medical computing, the internet and patient-centred care by leveraging technologies that empower patients to monitor their skin and communicate easily with trusted health professionals. In recent years, he’s broadened his interests to cover the medical skin issues frequently identified during skin cancer checks: sun damage, ageing skin, rosacea, melasma, acne, unwanted lesions and more.

When he’s away from the clinic, Chris enjoys cooking, especially with home-grown produce from his rooftop garden. He loves music and if you’ve heard a disco/funk, trip-hop, 90s alternative or  80s new romantic playlist in the waiting room, chances are he curated it!
