Skin Cancer Surgery

Expert Care with Precision, Compassion & Long-Term Support

A skin cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming—but with the right care, it doesn’t have to be. At Johns Creek Dermatology, we specialize in the surgical treatment of skin cancer with a focus on high cure rates, cosmetic preservation, and patient comfort.

Whether you're dealing with basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or a suspicious lesion that needs evaluation, we offer comprehensive surgical options tailored to your unique case.

What Is Mohs Surgery?

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a precise outpatient technique used to treat certain types of skin cancer, especially those in high-risk or cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face, ears, hands, scalp, or eyelids. It’s considered the gold standard for treating:

• Basal cell carcinoma (BCC)

• Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)

• Recurrent or aggressive skin cancers

• Cancers in areas where preserving healthy tissue is critical

How It Works:

During Mohs surgery, thin layers of cancerous skin are removed one at a time and examined under a microscope while you wait. This continues until no cancer cells remain—allowing for:

• Complete cancer removal

• Minimal damage to healthy tissue

• Highest cure rates (up to 99%)

• Optimal cosmetic outcomes

Meet Your Mohs-Certified Surgeon

Dr. Shereen Timani is a board-certified Mohs surgeon and dermatopathologist with advanced training in skin cancer diagnosis, excision, and reconstruction. She leads a specialized surgical team—including a Mohs technician and surgical assistant—to ensure every patient receives expert, detail-oriented care from start to finish.

We perform all Mohs procedures in our dedicated surgical units, designed for both sterility and patient comfort. Every step of your treatment is carried out with precision, safety, and a personal touch.

• Skin cancers on the hands, neck, and lower legs

• Recurrent or previously treated skin cancers

• High-risk tumors and skin cancer in cosmetically sensitive areas

A Team That Goes Beyond Treatment

• We prioritize aesthetic reconstruction when needed, carefully choosing closure techniques that preserve appearance.
