Mohs Surgery on Long Island
for Skin Cancer
When you’re diagnosed with skin cancer, choosing the right surgeon and location matters. Mohs surgery is a highly specialized procedure, and patients on Long Island often seek care that combines expertise, experience, and convenience close to home.
Belaray Dermatology provides comprehensive Mohs surgery on Long Island, offering diagnosis, treatment, and reconstruction in one coordinated setting.
Mohs Surgery for Skin Cancer Patients on Long Island
Mohs micrographic surgery is commonly used to treat basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, particularly when tumors are located on the face or other areas where tissue preservation is critical.
Patients across Nassau County and Suffolk County choose Mohs surgery because it offers:
- The highest cure rates for many skin cancers
- Maximum preservation of healthy skin
- Same-day confirmation that cancer has been fully removed
Our Long Island locations allow patients to receive this advanced care without traveling into Manhattan or large hospital systems.
Fellowship-Trained Mohs Surgeons in One Practice
One of the most important factors in Mohs surgery outcomes is surgeon experience and training. Belaray Dermatology is home to multiple fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons, allowing for:
- High procedural volume
- Collaboration on complex cases
- Continuity of care if additional expertise is needed
Having more than one Mohs surgeon in a single practice also ensures scheduling flexibility and timely treatment after diagnosis.
Same-Day Reconstruction and Comprehensive Care
After skin cancer is removed, proper reconstruction is essential for both healing and appearance. At Belaray Dermatology, reconstruction is performed the same day whenever possible, reducing the need for additional appointments or outside referrals.
This integrated approach allows patients to:
- Complete treatment in one location
- Receive coordinated surgical and reconstructive care
- Heal with optimal cosmetic and functional results
What Patients Can Expect on the Day of Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure using local anesthesia. Most patients spend several hours in the office, depending on how many stages are required to fully remove the cancer.
On the day of surgery, patients can expect:
- Careful explanation of each step
- Comfortable waiting areas between stages
- Clear post-procedure instructions
- The ability to return home the same day
