With over a million new cases of skin cancers yearly
in the United States, for many of us in the Bay Area, given
the intensity of the sun here, it is not a question of ‘if,’ but
rather, ‘when’ and ‘where.’

Mohs surgery is a subspecialty dedicated to conservative
removal of skin cancers to preserve as much tissue as possible,
and then to aesthetically repair the resultant wound. Compared
to routine excision, Mohs surgery looks at 99% more of the edges
of the removed tissue, thereby providing a far superior clearance
rate for tumors. Having surgery once for a basal cell on your
nose or a melanoma on your cheek is troublesome enough;
repeating the process again for the same incompletely excised
cancer is unnecessary.

Fellowship trained Mohs surgeons spend an extra year of their
training perfecting tumor extirpation, recognizing difficult
histologic variants of cancers under the microscope, and refining
flaps and grafts to yield less noticeable post-surgical scars.

Our familiarity with the intricacies of the Mohs procedure, extends
to all facets of the procedure. Dr. Ewanowski and his staff will
guide you through the whole process.  The quality of our work
is important, as is the impression you, the patient, gets from the experience. Suncoast Skin Solutions will be there from start to
finish, and will work with your other healthcare providers to
ensure that all facets of your care are coordinated. Contact us to schedule a consultation and your surgery.
