Services
Once you have discussed your medical situation with your general practitioner, they will provide you with, or you can request, a referral to Dr Rowe. This can be faxed or emailed through via the details on our contact page.
Alternatively, you will be referred from another specialist such as a Dermatologist or Orthopaedic surgeon, sometimes for treatment in a team approach, or sometimes to have specialist treatment that the other practitioner can not provide.They will usually send a referral letter directly to Dr Rowe's rooms, but if not, please ensure you bring you referral with you on the day of your consultation.

Surgical treatment of skin cancers and other skin lesions either in rooms or in hospital. Dr Rowe offers all surgical treatments for skin cancers including BCC, SCC, Melanoma and benign lesions. Skin grafts are done to move skin from one area on the body to another - either following surgical removal of a lesion such as a skin cancer, or to heal a wound caused by trauma or similar misadventure.
Skin cancer is incredibly common in Queensland and Australia, with Queensland having the highest incidence of any state. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and Squamous cell carcinoma are by far the most common diagnoses, but the more serious diagnosis of Melanoma is increasing annually. Dr Rowe treats a great many skin cancers, is well versed in all the current treatment modalities.
A skin graft is performed when the defect concerned can not be simply sutured, and a local flap is not available or not suitable. A skin graft is very dependant on the recipient tissue for healing, and can not be done in infected or poorly vascularised areas. Sometimes, a skin graft is done to fill in the "hole" created by raising a skin flap.
The details of your surgery will be explained during your consultation. Dr Rowe will give you an idea regarding what to expect both in the short and long term after your operation. If you have more than simple local anaesthetic, your anaesthetist, who is arranged by Dr Rowe and usually works routinely with Dr Rowe, will assist with post-operative pain relief and any other supportive treatments required.

I have nothing but praise for Dr Dan Rowe and his amazing team. From walking in the door, to my appointments and then surgeries with Dr Rowe, I felt completely at ease. The surgeries were amazing and the outcomes exactly as Dr Rowe explained. The after care is exceptional. I have had two separate surgeries so far with Dr Rowe and looking for a third. Thank You!!

Dr Rowe and his whole team/support staff are wonderful. Did a great job on my surgery, had ongoing support if I needed it and very prompt and professional in running their clinic. I see people complaining about costs and I wonder what insurance they have and whether they should be seeking private clinics as opposed to public; My costs were nothing but reasonable and expected with my insurance doing its job. I was advised to stay overnight at hospital however I felt I would recover better at home which both surgeon and anaesthatist supported me to do so. Grade A1, very friendly and kind. If I have

Dr Dan Rowe performed a bilateral setback otoplasty on my 5yr old son in December and we couldn't be happier! He and his staff are brilliant and I couldn't have asked for better care. What a lovely man! It baffles me that he can get poor reviews so I can only think these people wouldn't be happy with anyone! Thankyou so much for you amazing skills.
