This procedure is a state-of-the-art treatment in which the physician serves as surgeon, pathologist, and reconstructive surgeon.

This procedure allows dermatologists trained in Mohs Surgery to see beyond the visible disease and to precisely identify and remove the entire tumor, leaving healthy tissue unharmed.
