At Findley Dermatology, Dr. Alyssa Findley specializes in Mohs surgery, one of the most advanced and effective treatments for common skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. During this precise procedure, Dr. Findley removes and examines layers of tissue under a microscope, ensuring that all cancerous cells are eliminated while preserving as much healthy skin as possible.

When most people think of skin cancer treatment, they focus on the physical aspects—diagnosis, surgery, and healing. But what’s often overlooked is the emotional journey that comes with it. As a Mohs surgeon, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply personal and overwhelming this experience can be for patients.

In this special edition of our blog, we are honored to feature Dr. Findley, who not only brings years of professional experience but also a deeply personal perspective, having recently faced her own journey with skin cancer.

Undergoing Mohs surgery is a significant step in the journey toward skin cancer treatment and recovery.

In the realm of skin cancer treatment, Mohs surgery serves as the gold standard. This procedure, named after its inventor Dr. Frederic Mohs in the 1930s, revolutionized the approach to skin cancer removal, offering patients a superior treatment option.
