Consultant Dermatologists

Skin Partners is a specialist dermatology medical practice led by our Director, Dr Leona Yip. Dr Robert Sinclair, who was one of our founding directors, has fully retired from private practice.

Consultant Dermatologists, Dr Koraisha Hoosen and Dr Charlotte Man, are independent doctor contractors who also consult at Skin Partners.**

Dermatologists at Skin Partners are highly qualified and experienced Consultants. They are all Fellows of The Australasian College of Dermatologists, and are leading experts in their field across a broad range of medical, surgical and laser treatments in children and adults. Dr Leona Yip is also the only subspecialty fellowship-trained Alopecia Specialist in Queensland, and one of the very few in Australia.

**Skin Partners provides medical facilities and administrative support for independent doctor contractors and their own patients. Whilst Skin Partners handles their appointment scheduling and billings, independent doctor contractors autonomously manage and make clinical decisions for their own patients. Each doctor chooses the days and times they work at Skin Partners and sets their own fees. This arrangement signifies a contractor relationship, where the doctors are not employees of Skin Partners.

Founding directors of Skin Partners, Dermatologists Dr Leona Yip and Dr Robert Sinclair.
