Mohs Surgery – Middle Tennessee

What is Mohs Surgery?


Stating it briefly – Mohs micrographic surgery is a special technique used to remove skin cancer in a cosmetically sensitive area. Patients come into the office with a diagnosis and leave with a cure.


Mohs micrographic surgery is defined as a specialized method for the removal of skin cancer that combines surgery with microscopic margin analysis. Mohs surgery is the most effective treatment for skin cancer today. It offers the highest potential for cure for most skin cancers – up to a 99% success rate – even if the skin cancer has been previously treated by another method. Mohs Surgery is the recommended technique that creates the smallest possible wound and allows patients the opportunity for the least visible scarring.


Dr. Karen Arnaud is a board-certified Dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs Micrographic Surgeon practicing in Murfreesboro, Tennessee serving communities across middle Tennessee.
