MOHS SURGERY

The Mohs surgery is one of the most effective skin cancer treatment options.  This procedure can treat most types of skin cancers.  In fact, Mohs surgeries have a success rate of up to 99%.  Mohs unique procedure involves precisely identifying and removing skin cancer tissues layer by layer while leaving the surrounding healthy tissues intact and unharmed.  The removed skin cancer layers are microscopically examined ensuring complete cancer removal during the surgery.  Since this procedure minimizes the loss of healthy tissue, the functional and cosmetic outcome is maximized.  When you contact Dermatology Solutions to schedule your appointment for a Mohs surgery consultation, our doctors will walk you through the steps of the procedure and answer any questions that you may have.  The Mohs surgery is an outpatient procedure which is performed by our Board Certified Dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon, Dr Pilcher.
