Meet the Specialists

Hi, I am Chris,
I qualified from the Welsh school of medicine in 1992. I arrived in Canada over 25 years ago, as a general practitioner as a MRCGP (with distinction). I worked as a general practitioner and in the emergency room, in rural British Columbia. I have been a past examiner for the Canadian family practice exams.
I returned to do dermatology residency at UBC Vancouver.
Having finished my residency in 2010, I became a board-certified dermatologist in both Canada and the US. Since that time I have presented papers and lectures both in Canada and internationally, and published in a number of peer-reviewed journals, including on the subject of melanoma.
As a bona fide dermatologist, I am proud to be a member of the Canadian dermatology Association, American Academy of dermatology and the European Academy of dermatology & Venereology.
I practice both medical and surgical dermatology. In addition to MSP covered services, I will see patients for non MSP insured services such as skin reviews that are not considered medically needed along with removal of lumps and bumps.
