Mohs Surgery: The Gold Standard in Skin Cancer Treatment

At our practice, we specialize in Mohs Micrographic Surgery, an advanced and precise technique widely recognized as the gold standard for skin cancer treatment. This method offers the highest cure rates and minimal scarring, making it particularly beneficial for delicate areas such as the face, eyelids, or hands. Mohs surgery ensures the complete removal of cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy skin as possible.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a meticulous, step-by-step procedure that removes skin cancer with unparalleled accuracy. The process begins with the removal of the visible tumor along with a thin layer of surrounding tissue. The excised tissue is immediately taken to an on-site laboratory, where it is carefully processed and examined under a microscope. This allows Dr. Parker to map the exact location of any remaining cancer cells.

If cancer is still present, only the affected area is excised further, ensuring no unnecessary removal of healthy tissue. This precise approach continues until all cancerous cells are eliminated. Once the cancer is fully removed, the area is repaired, often on the same day, with a reconstruction plan tailored to restore both appearance and function.

What makes Mohs surgery unique is its ability to combine the highest cure rates with tissue preservation. By targeting only cancerous tissue, the technique conserves healthy skin, which is especially critical for cosmetically or functionally sensitive areas. The on-site microscopic analysis provides same-day results, confirming that the cancer has been entirely removed before the patient leaves.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Parker and his team will guide you through every aspect of the procedure. From pre-operative preparation to post-surgical care, we ensure you feel supported and informed at every stage. On the day of your surgery, our experienced team will create a calm and professional environment to help you feel at ease. Following the procedure, detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to promote healing, and our team will closely monitor your recovery.

Mohs surgery is most suitable for skin cancers in high-risk or cosmetically significant areas, or for cases with a higher chance of recurrence. Dr. Parker collaborates with referring physicians to assess each patient’s individual needs and determine the best treatment plan.
