If you require a procedure after an examination one can be scheduled for you. NOTE: Insurers normally cover the cost(s) for the examination & procedure – some insurers do not cover checks if a procedure is not needed - it is recommended that you check your policy.

Recently. I came across Dr Paul while attending Professional Certificate course in skin cancer at the University of Queensland. I was very impressed with his teachings from which we all benefited. His presentations were interesting, easy to understand and up to date… I have spoken to many of the attending doctors and found them to be full of praise and grateful to Dr Paul. I have put in practice some of the skin flaps he taught with great success.

We need Dr. Sharad Paul. In the same sense as the world needs historians-philosophers-sociologists for the history of mankind the world needs a physician-philosopher-literate for narrative medicine. Only a distinguished physician such as Dr. Sharad Paul with a sense for “stories” understands the importance of narrative medicine in improving patient-physician communication. He is the Sigmund Freud and Arthur Schnitzler of our times. I applaud everybody who supports him personally.
