What should I look for in a Mohs surgeon?
This procedure is most effectively performed by specially trained surgeons who have completed a rigorous and selective post-residency fellowship. Surgeons with the highest degree of training become members of the American College of Mohs Surgery, which is the “gold standard” in Mohs Micrographic surgery. This organization is different from the American Society for Mohs Surgery which does not require an intensive 1-2 year training fellowship. Only a few physicians in southern Colorado have completed a fellowship approved by the American College of Mohs Surgery.
