Choosing a surgeon for skin cancer treatment is one of the most important decisions you can make. Fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons complete years of additional specialized training beyond dermatology residency, focusing exclusively on skin cancer surgery, microscopic pathology, and facial reconstruction.
After completing medical school and dermatology residency, Fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons complete an additional accredited fellowship devoted entirely to:
This advanced education provides extensive experience in diagnosing, removing, and reconstructing skin cancers in some of the body’s most delicate and visible areas.
Unlike many surgical procedures, Mohs surgery combines several specialties into one physician.
During every procedure, Dr. Henry serves as:
Dermatologist
Surgeon
Pathologist
Reconstructive surgeon
This continuity allows every surgical decision to be guided by microscopic findings during the procedure.
Many patients assume all dermatologic surgeons receive the same training.
While all board-certified dermatologists complete rigorous education and residency training, Fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons pursue additional accredited education devoted exclusively to skin cancer surgery, microscopic tissue evaluation, and reconstruction.
This specialized Fellowship builds on board certification by providing advanced experience in procedures performed every day throughout the fellowship.
Important note: Board certification and Fellowship training are complementary qualifications. Fellowship training represents additional subspecialty education beyond dermatology residency.
Choosing a Fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon may offer several important advantages.
Mohs surgery offers the highest cure rates available for many basal and squamous cell carcinomas.
