What is Mohs surgery?
Mohs surgery is a highly specialized and precise technique used to treat certain types of skin cancer. Developed by Dr. Frederic Mohs in the 1930s, this procedure involves removing thin layers of cancer-containing skin one at a time, examining each layer under a microscope, and continuing the process until no cancerous cells remain.
Mohs surgery is particularly well-suited for treating skin cancers with the following conditions:
Located in sensitive or cosmetically important areas (e.g., face, ears, hands, or genitals)
Have a high risk of recurrence
Have large, aggressive, or poorly defined borders
Have been previously treated and returned
Preservation of healthy tissue around the eyes, nose, or lips is necessary

Benefits Of The Mohs Surgery Technique
Overall, Mohs surgery is a gold-standard treatment that balances cancer removal with aesthetic and functional preservation.
High Cure Rate
Mohs surgery has a cure rate of 99% for certain types of skin cancer, even those that have recurred after previous treatments.
Tissue Preservation
The procedure minimizes scarring and preserves healthy skin by only removing the affected tissue.
Immediate Results
Microscopic examination of tissue is done during the surgery, so you get real-time confirmation of complete cancer removal.
Outpatient Procedure
Mohs surgery is typically performed in a single visit with local anesthesia, offering minimal downtime and a quick recovery.
Aesthetically Pleasing
After the Mohs procedure is complete, the providers then design and carry out a repair of the skin tissue to obtain the most cosmetically pleasing results possible. In rare cases, outside specialties become involved, such as facial plastic surgeons or oculoplastic surgeons.

"I had been going to a different dermatologist for the past 8 years. I decided to go to Goodman dermatology because they advertised Mohs surgery which my other doctors office did not. I truly enjoyed my visit at Goodman dermatology and especially during my visit with Dr. Seth Goodman. He was very thorough with my overall body scan and explained his findings in great deal. Overall I was very pleased with my first visit and I will be retaining Dr Seth Goodman and Goodman dermatology as my permanent dermatologist location."
