Mohs Surgery for Skin Cancer

Full Cancer Removal
For Complete Peace of Mind

What is Mohs Surgery?

Mohs surgery is a specialized and highly effective technique to treat skin cancer. Unlike traditional surgical methods, which involve removing a larger portion of surrounding healthy tissue to ensure that all cancer cells are removed, Mohs surgery is much more precise.

Mohs surgery is performed in stages. The surgeon removes a thin layer of tissue and then immediately examines it under a microscope to determine whether all cancer cells have been removed. If any cancer cells remain, the surgeon removes another layer of tissue, continuing until all cancer cells have been eradicated.

Mohs surgery has a much higher success rate than other skin cancer treatments. This is due in part to the precision and accuracy of the procedure, as well as the expertise of the Mohs surgeon.

Mohs Surgery testimonials

What Our Mohs Patients Say

Dr. Bishop was wonderful, kind, and took away any worries I had about my Mohs surgery. He made me feel like a friend which means a lot when you’re a little nervous. I did not feel any pain and the waiting room between surgeries was a blessing. TV, snacks, water, and small lounge chairs were a perfect added touch to that room.

I also want to give D’Wayne a 5-star for such compassionate pre-surgery care. He is a wonderful asset to your team. He went out of his way to make me feel comfortable also. Thank you to all your wonderful office staff too.
Karen CaudleSkin Cancer Survivor
This is a practice like none other I have encountered in my 80+ years. Everything appears patient centered. And the place runs like clockwork. From front desk to staff, to doctors, everyone is smiling and pleasant.

I am a self-described skin cancer magnet... When I had a tedious Mohs surgery for melanoma three years ago, my wife was ushered in to a separate waiting room. There, she found comfortable recliners, blankets, and a fridge stocked with sandwiches and snacks. What other place thinks to do that?
