Mohs Surgery

Mohs micrographic surgery, a technique perfected over the past 50 years, is the best way to surgically remove skin cancer and preserve your natural beauty. One out of every five people will develop skin cancer at some point in life. You can't control having skin cancer, but you can control what you do about it. Skin cancer shouldn't change the way you look at life or yourself, or even the way others look at you. Mohs micrographic surgery is a surgical procedure that can help ensure that it won't. This procedure has proven to be the most precise and effective way to treat skin cancer.

Dr. Sarah Sawyer is one of the few physicians in the area trained in the Mohs surgical technique. A highly respected physician, Dr. Sawyer is a fellowship- trained dermatologic surgeon and a board certified dermatologist. Mohs micrographic surgery is preformed by using a microscope to locate and remove skin cancer in its entirety while keeping the surrounding healthy skin intact. With the highest cure rate available, this procedure can help you get back to life as usual. The accuracy of the microscope minimizes cosmetic impact, which means you can worry less about the surgery affecting your appearance. Mohs micrographic surgery is one thing you can do about skin cancer.
