Choosing who performs your skin cancer surgery is an important decision. While many physicians treat skin cancer, Mohs surgery is a highly specialized procedure that combines surgery, pathology, and reconstruction into a single treatment.
Understanding a surgeon's training, experience, and approach can help you make an informed decision about your care.
Mohs surgery is more than removing skin cancer.
During every procedure, the surgeon must:
Each decision affects not only cancer removal but also healing, cosmetic outcome, and long-term function.
Choosing an experienced Mohs surgeon means choosing someone who performs these decisions every day.
Fellowship training provides additional accredited education focused exclusively on Mohs surgery, microscopic pathology, and reconstruction.
Experience matters. Ask how many Mohs surgeries your surgeon has performed and how often they perform the procedure.
During Mohs surgery, the surgeon examines tissue under a microscope to determine whether cancer remains.
Many Mohs procedures include reconstruction immediately after cancer removal, reducing the need for additional appointments.
Practices with dermatology, pathology, surgery, and follow-up care working together can provide a more coordinated patient experience.
Ask how wound care, follow-up visits, pathology, and long-term surveillance are managed after your procedure.
After completing dermatology residency, Fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons complete additional accredited education devoted exclusively to:
Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Skin cancer pathology
Facial reconstruction
Wound healing
Cosmetic outcomes
This advanced training prepares surgeons to manage both straightforward and complex skin cancers while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
