Mohs Micrographic Surgery
About Mohs Micrographic Surgery
What is it?
Developed in the 1930s by Dr. Frederick Mohs, Mohs micrographic surgery is an extremely effective treatment for a variety of skin cancers. Due to its accuracy, high success rate, and cosmetically appropriate outcomes, Mohs remains the gold standard for skin cancer removal. Our Mohs surgeon, Cameron Zachary, MD, FAAD, is a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs micrographic surgeon with advanced expertise in skin cancer treatment and surgical reconstruction. His specialized training and experience allow him to perform this precise surgery with exceptional skill and attention to detail.
What to Expect
Dr. Zachary is dedicated to providing expert skin cancer treatment with a personalized, patient-centered approach. Through the precision of Mohs surgery, he works to remove cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy skin as possible, helping patients achieve the best possible medical and cosmetic outcomes.
With Mohs, tumor removal is precise and highly effective, offering excellent long-term outcomes. Under Dr. Zachary’s expert care, Mohs surgery allows for the examination of tissue during the procedure to identify and remove cancerous cells that may not be visible to the naked eye. This meticulous approach provides a high degree of confidence that the cancer has been completely removed while minimizing the removal of healthy surrounding tissue.
After the Procedure
The Mohs procedure has a proven high success rate (studies have shown 5-year cure rates of over 99% for new cancers) and grants patients quicker recovery times (2–4 weeks) than other skin cancer procedures.
