Healthy and beautiful skin [Sponsored Content]
Queenstown’s Skin Institute is proud to have two female leaders at the head of the business, helping with skin cancer, veins and appearance medicine. Dr Megan Reilly is a partner and one of the main doctors – she specialises in Skin Cancer Medicine, Surgery and Appearance Medicine, while Carly McCarthy is the Clinic Operations Manager, looking after the team of 25 and ensuring everything runs smoothly.
The dynamic duo believe that everyone deserves healthy and beautiful skin, which is something that the Skin Institute has been delivering for the past 28 years. Dr Megan Reilly discovered her niche while working across the ditch in Melbourne, before returning to New Zealand in 2015.
Carly started her journey with the Skin Institute 13 years ago as a receptionist. She’s worked her way up to her current role, which has her overseeing scheduling, employment, marketing, financials, HR, and ensuring everyone’s happy. She recently put on a project management cap, too, as the clinic moved into a larger new and modern space.
“We look after basically anything to do with skin and we run a full in-house service. Our experience is all about the patient,” says Carly. “We pride ourselves on doing everything to the best of our ability, so you won’t have to go anywhere else.”
The focus at the clinic is to ensure you’re feeling comfortable and relaxed during your service. They offer free spot-checks and full body skin cancer consultations, and if further investigation is needed, they also offer biopsies, surgical excision, and have a visiting specialist Head and Neck Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr Mark Izzard, who performs micrographic margin control skin cancer surgery.
“We serve quite a large region – we have lots of patients travelling up from Southland and Invercargill, lots of the farming community will travel two hours to access Skin Institute’s team of skin specialists. So, we have a really vast range of patients coming through the door because we’ve got a really good service and are quite well-known for our skin cancer treatments.”
You don’t need a referral to go to Queenstown’s Skin Institute, so if you’re thinking about a check, are concerned about some veins, or are looking to improve your appearance, get in touch with Carly and the team on 03 442 2255 or book online at skininstitute.co.nz
