Dermatologic Procedures

• Mohs micrographic surgery
  Mohs surgery is a highly, specialized treatment for the total removal of skin cancer. Mohs surgery is named in honor of Dr. Frederic Mohs, the physician who developed the technique. This method differs from all other methods of treating skin cancer by the use of complete microscopic examination of all of the tissues removed surgically as well as the detailed mapping techniques to allow the surgeon to remove every cancer cell.
• Melanoma excision
  The melanoma excisions that we do are a modified or "slow" Mohs procedure. Basically we process the tissue overnight by an outside lab as the lab results are more reliable when done that way for melanoma. It requires the patient to come back to the office the next day to get the results and either be repaired or to have another layer of tissue removed. If another layer needs to be taken then they need to come back the next day.

• Advanced Reconstruction
  Dr. Pharis and Dr. Baucom were trained by the leader in their field for Mohs surgery and he is particularly known for his expertise in repairing large and complicated defects that many other Mohs surgeons end up referring out to plastic surgeons for repair. Dr. Pharis and Dr. Baucoms "niche" in this competitive Atlanta market is that they have training in this type of advanced reconstruction that others don't.
