Mohs Micrographic Surgery Expertise for Skin Cancer

When you face a diagnosis of skin cancer, trust your care to the fellowship-trained surgeons with extensive experience in the innovative technique known as Mohs micrographic surgery. Their expertise, achieved through extended study at the American College of Mohs Surgery, assures you of receiving top-level care from highly skilled surgeons with rigorous, hands-on education in this delicate technique.

During the in-office procedure, your Mohs surgeon removes skin tumors and surrounding tissue and examines everything immediately. Your specialist then continues, layer by layer, to eliminate all abnormal cells. Although most types of skin cancer respond well to this technology, Mohs surgery remains most effective for basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas.
