What is it?

Mohs surgery is widely recognized as the most successful method for addressing prevalent non-melanoma skin cancers like basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. This surgical procedure aims to eradicate cancerous cells while preserving healthy tissue, leading to minimal scarring. Once the cells and affected tissue layers are extracted, they are examined by a pathologist in a lab. What sets Mohs surgery apart from excisional surgery is its methodical approach, with each stage of the procedure being followed by on-site lab testing.

This highly effective surgery is typically recommended for patients at high risk of non-melanoma skin cancer (high-risk skin cancers are those located on the nose, eyelids, lips, ears, hands, feet and genitals).

Our Mohs surgeons at our dermatology clinic are exceptionally skilled and fellowship-trained, each with years of experience under their belts. Our surgeons are regularly recognized for their outstanding work, receiving prestigious accolades such as the Top Doc award from Detroit's Hour Magazine. It's worth noting that our dermatologists perform this treatment in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
