Dr Jochen Clemens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adv Clin Cert Skin Cancer Medicine and Surgery, Adv Clin Cert Dermoscopy, FRNZCGP<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following my Graduation in Germany, 1996, I worked as a GP in the UK, obtaining the JCTPGP<\/strong>. In 2008 I immigrated to New Zealand, where I obtained the FRNZCGP<\/strong> and worked as a specialist GP at Gore Medical Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have always been interested in skin cancer medicine and surgery and started to work as a GPSI<\/strong> for minor surgery when it was first established. Since then I have expanded my knowledge and skills and obtained the advanced skin cancer and dermoscopy certificates <\/strong>from the SCCA (Skin Cancer College Australasia). I am an accredited skin cancer doctor since 2019 and member<\/strong> of the SCCA<\/strong><\/a> and NZSCD<\/strong><\/a> (New Zealand Skin Cancer Doctors Society). Since the launch of the WellSouth GPSI skin lesion excision program in 2021 I have worked as one their 3 triaging doctors. My main interest is early diagnosis and surgical management of skin lesions and I particularly enjoy the practical aspects, including flaps and grafts. Another surgical interest of mine is vasectomy, which I have been performing for the last 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am married with one son (now a dental student at Otago) and live with my wife and two dogs. In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, hunting and fishing, walks with our dogs and fly tying.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dr Jeremy Maarschalk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BSc (Hons), MBBS, MRCSEd, Adv Clin Cert Dermoscopy, FRNZCGP<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally from Zimbabwe, I graduated from Newcastle University Medical School in the UK in 2013, then went on to work and train primarily in surgical specialties for the next 6 years, both in the UK and in New Zealand, with most of my time spent working in plastic and reconstructive surgery<\/strong>. I moved into general practice in 2019, completing the vocational training programme in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With my background in plastic and reconstructive surgery I have always had a keen interest in skin cancer medicine and surgery, and carry out a wide variety of procedures under local anaesthetic, including complex flap and graft reconstructions<\/strong>. I also perform surgical procedures for non-cancer-related problems, including benign skin lesion removal<\/strong>, minor hand surgery<\/strong> (including carpal tunnel surgery<\/strong> and trigger finger releases<\/strong>), and toenail procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a member of the Skin Cancer College Australasia<\/a> and the New Zealand Skin Cancer Doctors Society<\/a>, and am a registered GP with Special Interest (GPSI) in skin cancer surgery for the WellSouth Primary Health Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of work I love spending time with my wife and four young children, particularly in outdoor pursuits. Another passion of mine is supporting healthcare in developing-world contexts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
