Dr. Kathleen Ting is a dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon practicing in Walnut Creek, CA. Dr. Ting specializes in skin cancer care and reconstructive procedures. Mohs surgery is a selective removal skin cancer procedure, meaning it removes one layer of skin at a time. The Mohs surgeon checks each layer for cancer cell units until no more cancer is found. The Mohs procedure offers the highest chance for complete removal of the cancer while saving as much healthy tissue as possible. The cure rate for new basal and squamous cell cancers is over 98%. This procedure is mostly used for areas of skin you can see or where scarring is a big concern, such as on the face, ears, nose, and eyelids. It is also used for skin cancer that is likely to return, is fast growing, or has a high risk of spreading.
