Mohs Surgery for Skin Cancer

A surgery involving cutting away thin layers of the skin to look for signs of — or to treat — skin cancer. This micrographic surgery has a high cure rate and minimizes damage to healthy skin.

What is Mohs Surgery?

Mohs surgery is a precise, highly effective procedure for treating skin cancer. Our board-certified Mohs surgeons in Cincinnati remove cancerous tissue layer by layer, examining each section under a microscope to ensure all cancer cells are gone while preserving healthy skin.


This technique is the gold standard for treating basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and certain other skin cancers, providing the highest cure rates with minimal tissue loss.


Why Choose a Mohs Surgeon in Cincinnati?

When you visit Dermatologists of Southwest Ohio and DOCS Dermatology for Mohs surgery in Cincinnati or Mohs surgery in Dayton, your care is personalized and focused on both effectiveness and comfort. Here’s what to expect during your visit:


Your Cincinnati Mohs surgeon will first perform a thorough evaluation to understand the type, size, and location of your skin cancer and create a customized treatment plan. The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort.


During the surgery, cancerous tissue is removed layer by layer, with each layer examined under a microscope to ensure all cancer cells are eliminated while preserving healthy skin. After the cancerous tissue is removed, the surgical site is carefully repaired to optimize both function and appearance.


Key steps include:

  • Consultation & Evaluation: Personalized assessment of your skin cancer and treatment plan.
  • Precise Tissue Removal: Layer-by-layer excision with real-time microscopic examination.
  • Reconstruction & Healing: Expert repair of the surgical site for the best cosmetic outcome.
  • Follow-Up Care: Ongoing monitoring and guidance to prevent recurrence and maintain healthy skin.

Patients from Cincinnati, Dayton, and surrounding areas trust our fellowship trained Mohs surgeons, Dr. Brent Kirkland and Dr. Phillip Hall for expert care, compassionate support, and advanced Mohs surgery treatment.
