Expert doctors, every time

Our team of expert skin cancer doctors work across three locations in New Zealand – Auckland, Christchurch and Rolleston. All of our Doctors are members of New Zealand Skin Cancer Doctors.

Advanced Molecheck technology

When you visit Molecheck you will be checked by a highly skilled skin cancer doctor who uses advanced Molecheck technology to painlessly detect skin cancers before they can be diagnosed with the naked eye.

Quality service every time

Molecheck is certified by DAA Group, a quality and risk management auditing service focused on the New Zealand health and disability sector. Our most recent audit in August 2025 identified:

“No areas for improvement were identified at this audit and the service was commended for the progress and maturity of its quality management system.”

Our story

Molecheck’s journey kicked off in Christchurch in the late ’90s when Dr David Langford dared to challenge conventional skin cancer diagnosis. With a camera, custom software, and an eye for innovation, he transformed dermoscopy into a powerful digital tool – cutting through old limitations and bringing skin cancer screening into the future. These breakthroughs laid the foundation for our clinics in Christchurch and Auckland, where world-class dermoscopy specialists deliver expert care with confidence. Today, Molecheck continues to lead the way in advanced skin cancer diagnostics, backed by a proud history of innovation, integrity, and clinical excellence.
