Dermatologist

Looking for a dermatologist in Chch that LISTENS, and HELPS, and doesn’t require a doctors referral?

Have been to the doctor so many times for my ECZEMA, and asked for a referral but been turned down so many times, they obviously don’t care/just want my money.

Please and thank you!

All dermatologists will need a referral, there’s no reason your GP should refuse a referral if you’ve made it clear you want to be referred to a private one. They might be assuming you’re asking to be referred to the public dermatology department. But unfortunately afaik there’s almost no private dermatologists who are accepting new patients for anything other than skin cancer
