Dr Lipscombe graduated medicine in 1990 with an MBBS from Adelaide University.  He became a Fellow of the Australasian College of Dermatologists in 1999. Dr Lipscombe pursued his interest in skin cancer and surgery with further training.  In 2000, he completed an Advanced Skin Surgery Fellowship at The Skin Hospital, which qualified him to perform Mohs Surgery, skin cancer surgery, and complex repairs, including flaps and grafts.

 

He is involved in skin cancer education, including teaching medical students and dermatology trainees at Liverpool Hospital, and giving talks to general practitioners and other specialists. 

 

Although experienced in all areas of dermatology,

his most significant interest has been in the surgical management of skin cancers. Since 2001, he has been practicing surgical and non-surgical treatment of skin cancers with a focus on Mohs surgery.

 

Having previously worked as the Medical Director for The Skin Hospital in Darlinghurst, Dr Lipscombe now consults and operates exclusively at Park House in the Sydney CBD.
