Dr Chris Miller is a primary care doctor with advanced training in skin cancer medicine. He performs skin cancer assessments and procedures daily, working in detection, monitoring and treatment of melanoma and other skin cancers.
In addition to comprehensive skin cancer checks, Chris regularly undertakes biopsies and excisions. Where clinically appropriate, assessment and treatment can be managed within the clinic, allowing continuity of care without unnecessary external referral.
He undertakes ongoing professional development in skin cancer medicine to maintain current knowledge of diagnostic techniques, procedural standards and evolving clinical guidelines.
He has a particular interest in non-surgical skin cancer treatments, including topical therapies and energy-based approaches, and follows emerging research in this area closely.
He established Spot Check Clinic in 2017 to create a dedicated, patient-centred skin cancer service focused on thorough assessment, clear communication and evidence-based care.
Chris graduated from the University of Adelaide in 1988. After early years in general practice and sexual health, he developed an interest in computing and digital communication, completing postgraduate qualifications in computer science and health informatics. He later worked in software development and health-sector technology before returning full-time to clinical practice.
This background informs his considered use of digital dermoscopy, 3D mole mapping (OptimaScan) and imaging systems to support — not replace — clinical judgement.
Chris is not a dermatologist and practises as a primary care doctor with a focused interest in skin cancer medicine.
