Preparing For Your Appointment
EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2022
Due to an increase in missed surgical appointments, all patients will be required to verbally confirm their Mohs Surgery appointment with a member of our staff one business day prior to the scheduled time. Failure to confirm the appointment will result in automatic cancellation of the surgery. NO EXCEPTIONS

In preparation to visit on the day of your surgery please bring a detailed list of your current medications, photo ID and your insurance cards. If you would like, bring a friend or family member since much of your time will be spent waiting. Additional instructions are included in your surgery packet.
Because our lab equipment needs to maintain a freezing temperature, our office stays at a crisp 68 degrees year-round. We recommend dressing warmly or bringing a jacket or blanket to your appointment.

During your Mohs procedure, Dr. Stein will take thin layers of skin and process them in our lab. Each layer of skin takes approximately 45 minutes to process. If the skin still shows signs of cancer, these steps will be repeated. Please expect to be at our office for TWO to FOUR hours.
