Today, the majority of dermatological surgeries are minimally invasive. In most cases, you can easily return to work right away or days following your treatment. No matter what kind of treatment you need, our team of surgeons provide superior patient safety while reducing the all-important “downtime” and recovery period.

Mohs Micrographic surgery
What is MOHs Micrographic Surgery?
Mohs micrographic surgery is a technique designed specifically to treat and remove the two most common skin cancers: basal and squamous cell carcinoma. The procedure was developed by Dr. Frederic Mohs in the 1930s and remains the preferred method of treatment for these skin cancers, for good reason: Mohs surgery has a cure rate of more than 98% for new lesions and 95% for recurrent cancers. Mohs is commonly done as an in-office procedure under local anesthesia, allowing patients to return home the same day.
