Pioneer Skin Doctors was founded with a clear purpose: to provide exceptional, patient-centred skin care led by a practitioner with deep experience in skin cancer medicine. That vision came to life through Dr Emily Shaw, a trusted name in general practice and advanced skin cancer management.
A strong foundation in skin health
Dr Emily Shaw is a General Practitioner and a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. She completed her Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) with First Class Honours, and has built her career around a commitment to skin cancer medicine.
Her advanced training includes:
- Advanced Certificate of Dermoscopy – Skin Cancer College Australasia
- Advanced Certificate in Skin Cancer Medicine and Surgery – Skin Cancer College Australasia
These qualifications have equipped Dr Shaw with the specialised skills needed to diagnose and manage complex skin conditions and skin cancers with confidence.
Years of experience at Western Skin Institute in Waurn Ponds
Before opening Pioneer Skin Doctors, Dr Shaw was a partner at Western Skin Institute in Waurn Ponds. During her time there, she earned a reputation for clinical excellence and patient care in skin cancer detection and surgery. Her work at the Institute shaped her patient-first approach and deepened her commitment to skin health.
Why she opened Pioneer Skin Doctors
After years of practising at an established clinic, Dr Shaw saw an opportunity to offer a more personalised and modern approach to skin care. Pioneer Skin Doctors was born out of this vision—a clinic that blends cutting-edge medical knowledge with compassionate care.
Dr Shaw founded Pioneer Skin Doctors to create a practice where every patient receives the time, expertise, and attention they deserve. Her goal is simple: early detection, effective treatment, and long-term support for healthy skin.
Committed to your skin health
From regular skin checks to surgical management of skin cancer, Pioneer Skin Doctors is proud to offer expert care grounded in experience. Dr Shaw brings both her extensive qualifications and her patient-centred philosophy to every consultation.
