About Us

 

Mohs micrographic surgery is a highly specialized procedure for the complete removal of skin cancer.

This method differs from all other surgical methods of treating skin cancer. Detailed mapping techniques and complete microscopic examination of 100% of the tissue margin removed allows the surgeon to remove every cancer cell. In contrast, standard surgery techniques look at <1% of the margins, providing only an estimate of whether the margins are clear.
