In fact, you may have already heard of the latest health procedure for removing skin cancer called Mohs micrographic surgery. Harris Dermatology prefers Mohs micrographic surgery as it is the only skin cancer removal technique with the highest reported cure rate.

At Harris Dermatology, Mohs skin cancer surgery is performed by a trained Mohs surgeon who examines the hidden roots of skin cancer so all cancer cells are removed during one visit. Learn more about how to keep your skin healthy with Mohs skin cancer surgery.

Why is micrographic Mohs surgery the best option for you? Simply put, during a Mohs procedure, a Mohs surgeon takes the smallest incision possible because only microscopic examinations of affected tissue layers are needed. Then while you wait in our comfortable Mohs skin cancer surgery waiting area, the Mohs surgeon uses a microscope to determine whether more layers need removal. The Mohs dermatology technique leaves little scarring and preserves the maximum amount of healthy skin.

Another exciting benefit of having Harris Dermatology perform your Mohs surgery is that all Mohs procedures are conducted in our dedicated Mohs skin cancer surgery suite. In addition, most insurance policies cover Mohs skin cancer surgery.

Mohs micrographic surgery is recommended for skin cancers that have recurred or are at a high risk for recurrence.
