A woman continued to take her father to the local GP despite the doctor missing a melanoma, a court has heard.
Peihong Du has told the Auckland District Court that she became a patient of Dr Hong Sheng Kong herself in 2006 - a year after she alleges Kong missed a melanoma on her elderly father's heel.
Ms Du has previously told the court that she asked the doctor to refer her father to a specialist and also asked for a biopsy of her father's lesion but Kong said it was not necessary.
She said Kong blamed the lesion on her father's diabetes and told her that he should be more concerned about his blood pressure.
Her father died in 2007 and she later lodged a formal complaint with the Health and Disability Commissioner but the complaint was dismissed.
