Dr Sarah MacDonald is a dedicated Skin Cancer Doctor serving the Sutherland Shire. Her practice is centred on prevention, early detection, and the precise surgical management of skin cancer.
Dr MacDonald holds a Master of Philosophy in Medicine and is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP). She has completed advanced postgraduate training in dermoscopy and skin cancer therapeutics through the University of Queensland. Additionally, her 2024 Fellowship with the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery underpins her meticulous surgical technique and focus on aesthetic outcomes.
She provides comprehensive skin assessments, urgent lesion reviews, and a full spectrum of surgical and non-surgical treatment options. Dr MacDonald is committed to patient education, empowering the community to maintain long-term skin health.
Outside the clinic, Sarah cherishes time with her young family, often escaping up the coast or bushwalking. She also enjoys discovering the area's best "cheap and cheerful" eats.
"Skin cancer care is where precision, skill, and impact meet - and it’s where I choose to stand. When a skin cancer was missed in my own family, I made a commitment: to rapidly and rigorously upskill until I could deliver the standard of care I would demand for those I love most.
Today, I bring that same uncompromising standard to every patient. My focus is on excellence in diagnosis and treatment, and on being the trusted, long-term skin cancer doctor for families across the Sutherland Shire. This is care you can rely on - care I would stake my own family’s wellbeing on."
