Mohs Micrographic Surgery

A state-of-the-art procedure for removal of large or aggressive skin cancers, or cancers located on cosmetically sensitive areas such as the head and neck. It is the most effective and advanced treatment for skin cancer today, offering cure rates of up to 99%. Mohs surgery consists of a precise technique that removes skin cancer in stages, allowing the Mohs surgeon to identify and remove the entire tumor while leaving the surrounding healthy skin unharmed and intact. It is the procedure of choice for large, recurrent, or aggressive cancers and cancers in cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face, scalp, ears, neck, shins, hands, and feet. The entire procedure is done safely in the office under local anesthesia.
