Testimonials
Testimonials
"I have had nothing but excellent service from the very professional staff and specialists at the Skin Clinic." - Gavin

"Highly recommended, I was able to book an appointment within a few days for a routine check on a mole and I received the written report the same day. The other clinics in New Plymouth couldn't get me in for over a month. I have piece of mind now thanks to this clinic." - Ashley

"Really enjoyed the facial! Every step was explained so knew exactly what to expect. Could see results the next day already! Very friendly and good service. Will definitely go again and can recommend it to anybody that struggles with dark spots." - TK

Farewell Dr Geoff Tvrdeich - honouring a Legacy of Care

After almost 30 years of dedicated service with the Carefirst Group, we bid a heartfelt farewell to Dr Geoff Tvrdeich as he begins a well-earned retirement.

As a founding clinician of the Carefirst Group (and Skin Clinic Taranaki), Geoff has been a stalwart of the Carefirst Group leading with quiet strength and steadfast commitment to patient care.

Geoff’s leadership helped shape the foundation of our clinics, which continue to serve generations of patients. His career was defined by clinical excellence and deep compassion, but it’s his enduring support for patients and colleagues, and his advocacy for skin cancer prevention and early treatment, that have truly left a lasting legacy.

Though we farewell Geoff, the journey continues.

Our team of five experienced and dedicated skin doctors proudly carry forward the legacy he built, offering:

  • Comprehensive skin cancer screening, diagnosis, and surgery
  • Specialist non-invasive varicose vein treatments, led by vascular consultant Mr Steve Benson and sonographer Daryl Queenin
  • Cosmetic & regenerative medicine, offering the latest in doctor-led aesthetic and medical treatments

We thank Geoff for his immense contributions – we're honoured to continue serving our community with the same dedication he exemplified.
