Wonderful work!Posted on Denise MaddockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a bad experience years ago with another dermatologist, so I had put this off but another family member saw Rachael Pollard and was impressed with her so I setup an appointment. Rachael and her team were kind, thorough, and took the time to explain everything to me. I will definitely recommend her.Posted on Debbie GilletteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great office, everyone is courteous and helpful. Dr. Heaton does amazing work. Great place to have treatment done!!Posted on Cole MuseusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. During my Accutane journey, I'd had trouble with a previous dermatologist who was not open to discussing my specific circumstances. I started working with Rachel Pollard at Legacy Dermatology. She listened, understood my goals, and tailored a plan that actually worked for me. It’s refreshing to work with someone so thoughtful and flexible! At this point, I'm acne free. Thanks Rachel!Posted on Kelli SeelosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such an amazing staff & office! From their reception area & staff, to their amazing MA’s, & the patience & expertise of their doctors, I love Legacy Dermatology & highly recommend.Posted on MarkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Legacy Dermatology is the only place where I genuinely felt comfortable after multiple consultations. Their professionalism and family-like atmosphere are truly impressive. Mindi's warm and caring demeanor made me feel like I'd known her forever, and I highly recommend this exceptional practice.Posted on Maddie PorterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff at Legacy Dermatology are so helpful, kind, and you can tell that they care about their patients. Dr. Mitton is a phenomenal physician, and he takes his time with his patients. He listens, asks questions, and I never feel rushed during my appointments. He doesn’t force treatments or biopsies on patients either. He takes the time to explain each treatment appropriate and lets the patient decide. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a dermatologist!
Mohs surgery removes cancer layer by layer with microscopic analysis, ensuring complete removal while preserving healthy tissue, especially critical for facial or high-risk tumors.
Patients with high-risk, recurrent, aggressive, or facial skin cancers benefit most. The technique maximizes cure rates, minimizes tissue loss, and preserves both function and appearance.
By examining 100% of tissue margins in real time, Mohs ensures hidden cancer roots are removed, dramatically reducing recurrence while maintaining surrounding healthy skin.
Performed outpatient, patients remain awake with minimal discomfort. Each excised layer undergoes microscopic evaluation, guiding removal until margins are clear, followed by immediate reconstruction if needed.
Most cases are completed within a few hours, depending on lesion complexity. Complex or recurrent tumors may require additional layers, so a full day is often reserved.
Post-surgical care includes wound monitoring, minimal lifting or straining, and follow-up visits for stitch removal. Discomfort is usually mild and manageable with standard pain relief.
Can Mohs surgery be performed on delicate areas like the face?
Through personalized monitoring plans, routine skin exams, patient education, advanced imaging, and proactive risk assessment to detect recurrence early and maintain both function and aesthetics.
Depending on tumor type, location, or patient health, excisional surgery, electrosurgery, or radiation therapy may be options, but Mohs remains the gold standard for high-risk cases.
Board-certified specialists combine surgical mastery, advanced imaging, evidence-based protocols, and personalized care to maximize cure rates, preserve tissue, and ensure optimal long-term cosmetic and functional outcomes.
