"I had a great experience as a first-time patient. Dr. Ofodile and all of the staff were extremely warm and knowledgeable. I will definitely return for a follow-up visit!"

"I have been a patient for over 11 years and absolutely love this practice! It is a very efficient yet still very friendly group. P.A. Chason Worthy greets me a smile and a wonderfully fun and caring attitude. The nurses, front desk, and check out are all amazingly efficient!"

"The doctor chanson was really nice, I felt good with her at the time of the examination."

"My daughter was burned as an infant and now as an adult she has thick scar tissue on her hand. Over the years we have tried and tried to find someone to help her and it’s next to impossible. They went out of her way to check many places that might be able to help. If you want someone who is going to take your best interest at heart ask for Sam. We love her."

"Dr. Ofidile was great with both of my teen kids. Made them feel confident about the journey for correcting the eczema skin issue. It’s been about 2 weeks and the treatment plan given to both my daughter and son is working. They’re both happy about the changes and their confidence level I can tell are starting to increase."

"I took my 15 month old son to Dermatology consultant for a bump of some sort that has been on his face almost his whole life. They were so sweet to him in the waiting room as he was quite energetic and running back and forth, the wait wasn’t very long at all, and his NP was awesome with him."

FAQs About Mohs Surgery

Mohs surgery is considered the most effective technique for treating many basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), the two most common types of skin cancer.

It is a surgical technique that uses progressive removal and examination of thin layers of cancer-containing skin to remove all the cancerous tissue without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.

The procedure can also be called "Mohs Micrographic Surgery" where the procedure is done in stages, including lab work, while the patient waits. This allows the removal of all cancerous cells for the highest cure rate while sparing healthy tissue and leaving the smallest possible scar.

Local anesthetics can be used during the Mohs Surgery process. This means it is done on an outpatient basis, and patients can feel comfortable before, during, and after the procedure.

“Slow” Mohs, like Mohs surgery, employs progressive removal of thin layers of tissue. In contrast to Mohs surgery, the samples are sent to a pathologist for overnight review as special staining of these cells is required. “Slow” Mohs is used primarily to treat malignant melanoma.

Mohs Surgery varies in length depending on the extent of the skin cancer. Expect to be at the clinic for several hours.

We understand that time is an investment the day of your surgery, so we do all pathology work in our on-site lab by our own team. You will leave knowing the margins are clear and all of the skin cancer has been removed.
