MOHS Surgery

MOHS surgery is a special technique used to remove skin cancers on certain parts of the body, without having to go to sleep. In our office, using sensitive equipment, cancers are meticulously removed one layer at a time, until all the skin margins are clear.

MOHS, named after Dr. Fred Mohs who pioneered the early technique in the 1970’s, means smaller scars and lower recurrance rates for many skin cancers.

MOHS surgery has two main advantages:

• MOHS has a very high cure rate
• MOHS allows us to preserve as much healthy skin as possible
