Mohs Micrographic Procedure
Mohs micrographic surgery is a specialized, highly effective technique for the removal of skin cancer. The procedure was developed in the 1930s by Dr. Frederic Mohs at the University of Wisconsin and is now commonly used.

The procedure is performed in our office where we can make the comfort of the patient a high priority.
