Our skin cancer specialists treat common and rare skin cancers. Our focus is on the complete removal of your skin cancer while ensuring you have a comfortable day. In most cases, removal and repair can happen on the same day. We also have the ability to work with other members within Dartmouth-Hitchcock to provide care if needed.

What is Mohs Surgery?

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a specialized form of surgery for the treatment of cancers of the skin. It combines precise tumor removal and real-time examination under a microscope.

We remove your tumor completely while removing the least amount of normal healthy tissue. The chance that skin cancer will come back in the same area is less than 1% using this procedure.

  • Ears
  • Face
