Dr Barnard explained importance of routine skin checks due to my age and history of basal cell carcinoma. He also gave me advice on another dermatological concern that I asked about.

He's appears to be a really good doctor who cares enough for his patients to give sound advice about their skin conditions. However, don't like the constant rescheduling of appointments due to his lack of availability.
