DOCs Expands Into Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Sarasota, FL, December 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Dermatology & Oculoplastic Consultants (DOCs) now offers Mohs Micrographic Surgery. The procedure is performed by fellowship trained surgeon Bradley Kovach, MD.
Mohs surgery, created by Frederic Mohs, MD, is an advanced microscopically controlled surgery for skin cancer. It allows for the removal of a skin cancer with very narrow surgical margins, minimizing the sacrifice of tissue while offering a high cure rate. The Mohs procedure is used for recurrent skin cancers, invasive skin cancers, high-risk facial and scalp skin cancers, thin-skinned areas and other applications.
“The cure rate for Mohs surgery is the highest of all treatments for skin cancer,” said board certified dermatologist Heidi Anderson, MD, a partner of DOCs. “The cure rate is more than 99 percent for an initial skin cancer and approximately 95 percent for recurrent cancers. This procedure is the most exact and precise method of tumor removal and minimizes the chance of regrowth.”
Mohs surgery is sometimes combined with reconstruction surgery, which is performed by DOCs partner Paul Brannan, MD.
Mohs surgeon Dr. Kovach received his B.A. in biology from Johns Hopkins University and his medical degree from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He received postdoctoral training at the Mayo Clinic and Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and did his fellowship in Mohs surgery and advanced dermatologic surgery at Washington University.
DOCs is located in Sarasota Memorial’s Institute for Advanced Medicine, 5880 Rand Blvd., Suite 201, Sarasota, Florida. The practice offers a range of skin and eye care services, including medical dermatology, skin cancer surgery, cosmetic dermatology, laser enhancement, treatment of eyelid diseases, eyelid and brow surgery, tearduct surgery and orbital surgery.
