Mohs Surgery

Specialized surgery and pathology.

THE MOHS SURGERY DIFFERENCE

Do you need professional treatment for skin cancer at a practice committed to compassionate care? Treating skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, even types that are high risk or are on high risk areas, can be done with the right expertise. At Springs Dermatology MD, we offer Mohs surgery, a specialized and very precise surgical technique. During this outpatient surgical procedure, thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and examined by our board-certified physician until all the cancer cells at the time of the surgery are removed. This increases your chances of being cured.

MOHS SURGERY AT A GLANCE

Providing the highest cure rate, Mohs surgery is significantly more effective than standard surgery. At Springs Dermatology MD, we offer the most professional and best Mohs surgery in Sandy Springs and Metro Atlanta. We treat skin cancer on the very delicate parts of the face and body with this technique to secure margins and good cosmetic results. Our team includes a highly specialized Mohs technician and surgical assistants, and most importantly, our experienced Mohs surgeon and Dermatopathologist. Dr. Shereen Timani brings a rare combination of expertise that heightens the success of your Mohs procedure. Our well-equipped surgery rooms offer you a perfectly sterile and calm environment.

THE TREATMENT DIFFERENCE

We want you to be cancer-free and our priority is clearing the cancer. But we also strive to minimize scarring, as we appreciate that you care about the aesthetic and cosmetic outcome as well. When needed, we collaborate with a team of plastic surgeons we have been working with for years and know we can trust.

Your comfort and wellbeing are important to us, and that’s why we consult with you before the Mohs surgery to identify any special preoperative requirements. We go over the surgical procedure and postoperative care with you so you know exactly what to expect. Follow up is important to us and goes beyond us tracking the healing process. We’re here for you after hours if you have questions or concerns and set a long-term plan for skin cancer prevention that includes body checks.
