Patients seeking Mohs surgery rely on his advanced training, meticulous technique, and commitment to preserving healthy tissue.
Why Mohs Surgery Is the Gold Standard
A Mohs micrographic procedure is widely regarded as the most effective surgical treatment for many non-melanoma skin cancers. This highly specialized procedure removes cancer layer by layer while examining 100% of the tumor margins under a microscope.
Because margins are evaluated during the procedure, it achieves the highest cure rate while minimizing unnecessary removal of healthy skin. This is particularly important for cancers located on the face, scalp, ears, and other cosmetically sensitive areas.
Patients throughout Venice and Sarasota choose REJUVA Dermatology, Vein & Skin Cancer Center for advanced skin cancer care performed under one roof.
The Mohs Surgery Procedure
The entire procedure is usually performed in a single visit to our Venice office. Treatment includes:
- Careful examination and preparation
- Staged removal of cancerous tissue
- On-site laboratory processing
- Microscopic evaluation of tumor margins
- Same-day wound repair
During the surgery, Dr. Mazloom removes visible cancer and then examines the tissue in our specialized lab. If cancer cells remain, additional layers are removed only where necessary. This process continues until all cancerous cells are eliminated.
Because patients remain awake under local anesthesia, recovery begins immediately after the procedure. Once the cancer is fully removed, Dr. Mazloom or our facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Brannan, performs closure the same day. This coordinated care allows patients from Venice and Sarasota to complete treatment without traveling between multiple facilities.

This ensures patients have access to comprehensive treatment options customized to their medical needs.
