Mohs Surgery
Mohs Surgery (technically known as Mohs Micrographic Surgery) is the most successful method ever developed for the treatment of skin cancer. While not appropriate for every skin cancer, it is the treatment of choice for skin cancer of the head and neck, large or recurrent tumors, or cancers that display an aggressive growth pattern.
Reconstructive Surgery
For our general dermatology patients we are able to provide the most current and effective solutions available; including narrow-band UVB light therapy. For our skin cancer patients, we are able to offer not only the most successful treatment modality available in the world, Mohs Micrographic Surgery, but also top-flight reconstructive surgery techniques. We are conveniently located in Soldotna on the corner of Birch Street and E Beluga Ave...just down the road from Soldotna City Hall.

Skin Cancer
There are many different types of skin cancer although the most common are basal cell carcinoma (BCC's), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC's) and melanoma. BCC's and SCC's are non-melanoma skin cancers, or NMSC's and approximately 1 million new cases are diagnosed each year. BCC's tend to be slow growing, and only rarely do they spread or metastasize. They are cancers however and if left untreated they will slowly destroy healthy tissue and vital structures. SCC's have a higher tendency to metastasize although it is still uncommon. In general, if recognized early by a board-certified dermatologist and treated appropriately, these cancers do not adversely affect one's health. It is important however to seek a board-certified dermatologist and preferably a properly trained Mohs surgeon as optimal treatment depends upon a thorough knowledge of not only the types of skin cancer, but the behavior of the myriad of subtypes as well.
