"Dermatology Consultants and Doctor Kimbrough-Green are truly outstanding and are very professional. On my recent visit I was again treated with the utmost care and concern from everyone. I highly recommend this practice for anyone that has or thinks they may have any type of an issue with their skin."

"My practitioner is Chason Worthy. She actually listens and responds in layman’s terms to ensure my understanding. She is very friendly, helps to put me at ease, and makes it a more pleasurable experience to have check ups and treatments."

"I appreciate the care given and the fact they run on time respecting my time as valuable. The team here from the front desk to the Doctor are friendly and considerate. I had a large spot removed last year from my face and when I show the area to friends, they are unable to see the scar. Excellent work. I continue to monitor spots and they are always thorough on checks taking care of possible problems."

"As usual, I had wonderful consultation with Dr. Pare last week. I've been a patient for many years, and I'm never disappointed with her advice and expertise. I highly recommend Dr. Pare and the entire staff at Dermatology Consultants."

"Anna Pare is the best for everything you need! I have just gone through skin cancer and she was so on top of it. The practice was amazing from start to finish. I have not run into an unhappy person on their staff. I felt so well taken care of and highly recommend this practice."

"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!"

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.
