Diagnosed with Skin Cancer? Choose a Fellowship-Trained Mohs Surgeon

Mohs micrographic surgery is the most advanced treatment for skin cancer today. Precise, intricate, and highly effective, it offers the highest potential for a cure. If you are interested in the treatment of your skin cancer through Mohs surgery, how do you choose a qualified doctor?

Mohs Surgeons, such as our own Dr. Andy Kalajian, who have completed Fellowship training through programs accredited by the American College of Mohs Surgery (founded by Dr. Frederic Mohs), have undergone the most rigorous, hands-on training available. This specialized training goes beyond routine Residency programs, equipping surgeons with advanced expertise in removing cancerous lesions while preserving healthy tissue. As a result, this precision leads to higher cure rates, reduced scarring, and quicker recovery times.
Patients treated by Fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons also benefit from their extensive experience. Mohs Fellows complete a minimum of 600 Mohs Surgery cases with many completing 1,000-2,000 cases during their Fellowship, gaining advanced skills in both straightforward and more complex reconstructions.

This specialized training offers unparalleled experience in addressing challenging tumor locations and pathology, making Fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons uniquely qualified to provide their patients with the best care possible.
