Dermatology Services
Dermatology is the branch of medicine that deals with treating and diagnosing
disorders of the skin. Dermatologists also treat issues that affect the
hair, nails and mucous membranes. Our dermatologists treat patients for
all types of diseases that affect the skin. Dermatologists not only help
patients improve the way they look by treating conditions that cause blemishes
or other impairments of skin, nails, and hair; they also help patients
suffering from life-threatening conditions such as cancer.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS)
MMS is an advanced tissue-saving technique for the complete removal of
skin cancers. The Mohs surgeon removes skin cancer under local anesthetic
and performs same day wound reconstruction. All removed skin tissue is
processed in an on-site certified pathology laboratory. Cure rates are
up to 99% for certain primary skin cancers. Cases not meeting use criteria
for MMS may be treated with a wide excision with margins.
