Breadon Barbara Dr. & Assoc.

Going to a medical specialist is never a celebratory affair, in my experience — it takes ages to get an appointment, ages to get from the waiting room to the next waiting room, and ages to get over how much you had to pay for 15 minutes of time.
Barbara Breadon’s dermatology rooms in Clifton Hill make the whole process a lot less painful, even — dare I say it — a pretty nice experience.
It’s beautifully decorated, which shouldn’t make a difference, but in reality makes it feel much more pleasant — more like a high-​end beauty clinic than a dermatologist’s office. They do have a really great offering of cosmetic dermatology treatments, like steam and extraction, IPL hair removal, and laser treatments for benign moles, but first and foremost they are excellent, professional, doctors.
I saw Dr Shayamalar Gunatheesan for a very pedestrian check-​up, however she could not have been more lovely, reassuring, informative and thorough. I left feeling happy and looked-​after, which is about all you can ask from an appointment with a doctor.
They don’t bulk bill and do cost about the same as any other specialist, but if you do have to go, I think this is a nicer experience than most. Highly recommend this clinic and will be returning if needed.
