❤️Story continues about Dr Anwar …. ✨He loved the practical and surgical side of medicine✨
While working in general practice, he also noticed a significant gap in skin cancer detection and management. New Zealand’s high burden of skin cancer made this an area where he felt he could make a real difference.
That became the turning point.
He began developing a deeper interest in *skin cancer medicine, dermoscopy and skin cancer surgery*, progressively advancing his knowledge and surgical skills while continuing to work as a GP.
And as his experience in skin grew, so did his interest in another side of skin medicine—*cosmetic medicine.*
The two disciplines may seem very different, but for him they shared something important:
*Skin.*
Understanding the skin. Diagnosing it. Treating it. Protecting it. Improving it.
Over time, skin became a major focus of his medical career.
Today, Dr. Anwar continues to work as a GP, while also specialising in *skin cancer medicine and surgery and cosmetic medicine*.
He still spends two days a week working in general practice—a part of medicine he never wanted to leave behind.
Because for him, being a doctor was never about choosing one title or one speciality.
It has always been about *people.*
From the little boy praying to become a doctor, to the GP who discovered a gap in skin cancer care, to the doctor whose career has evolved around skin health—
the purpose has remained the same:
*Listen. Help. Treat. Make a difference.*
And perhaps that’s the real story behind NIZ Skin Clinic.
Not just a clinic built around skin.
But a clinic built around a lifelong passion for caring for people. 🤍
*NIZ Skin Clinic | Healthy Skin. For Life.*
