Specialized Experience in Mohs Surgery

Expertise is important for effective skin cancer treatment. Our team of board-certified dermatologic surgeons specializes in Mohs surgery. This technique requires additional training beyond general dermatology. It is considered highly effective for treating many types of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and certain types of melanoma.

What is Mohs Surgery and Why Choose Us for It?

Mohs surgery is a highly effective technique for treating skin cancers, boasting up to 99% cure rates for primary basal cell carcinomas. This precision procedure allows our skilled surgeons to remove cancerous tissue while preserving surrounding healthy skin. By choosing our clinic for Mohs surgery, you benefit from:

  • Maximized cure rates
  • Minimal scarring
  • Preserved function and appearance of the treated area

Our Approach

At our clinic, Mohs surgery is not just a procedure; it’s a carefully coordinated process designed to provide the best possible outcomes for our patients.

  • Initial Consultation and Diagnosis:
    • We begin with a thorough consultation, during which we review your medical history, perform a detailed skin examination, and discuss your treatment options. If Mohs surgery is recommended, we explain the procedure in detail and address any concerns you may have.
  • Surgical Precision:
    • During the surgery, our surgeons meticulously remove the cancerous tissue layer by layer. Each layer is immediately examined under a microscope in our in-house laboratory to ensure all cancer cells have been removed before the surgery is completed. This step-by-step process allows for the most precise removal of cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
  • On-Site Pathology:
    • Our state-of-the-art facility includes an on-site pathology lab, enabling us to analyze tissue samples in real time. This immediate access to pathology ensures that the surgery can be completed in one visit, reducing the need for additional surgeries and providing you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing the results immediately.
  • Reconstructive Expertise:
    • After cancer removal, our team is skilled in advanced reconstructive techniques to repair the surgical site. We focus on functional and aesthetic outcomes, ensuring the treated area looks as natural as possible. Our expertise ensures the best cosmetic results, whether a minor repair or a complex reconstruction.
  • Post-Operative Care and Follow-Up:
    • We are committed to your recovery. After the surgery, we provide detailed post-operative instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing. Our team is always available to answer questions and address any concerns, ensuring you have the support you need during your recovery.
