CosMOHs™
A New Standard in Skin Cancer Care
When patients are diagnosed with skin cancer, they often assume the most important decision is how the cancer will be removed.
In reality, there are two equally important goals:
- Completely removing the cancer.
- Restoring appearance and function as naturally as possible.
CosMOHs was developed to bring these two priorities together through a collaborative model of care that places the patient—not the healthcare system—at the center of every decision.
Why We Created CosMOHs
Over many years, we heard the same concerns from patients:
"I wish my plastic surgeon and dermatologist had worked together."
"I had to wait days before my wound could be repaired."
"I didn't realize I had options for reconstruction."
"I wish I had known there were anesthesia options besides local injections."
These conversations inspired the development of the CosMOHs model—a coordinated partnership between fellowship-trained Mohs dermatologists and board-certified plastic surgeons designed to provide seamless, patient-centered skin cancer care.
The CosMOHs Difference
A Certified CosMOHs Clinic combines:
Expert Cancer Removal
Appropriate skin cancers are removed by a fellowship-trained Mohs dermatologist using Mohs micrographic surgery, which provides the highest cure rates available for many basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Specialized Reconstruction
Once the cancer has been completely removed, reconstruction is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon whose training focuses on restoring both appearance and function using techniques tailored to each patient's anatomy.
One Team. One Location.
Whenever possible, consultations, Mohs surgery, and reconstruction are coordinated under one roof and often on the same day, reducing delays and simplifying care for patients and their families.
More Than One Anesthesia Option
Although many skin cancers can be treated comfortably using local anesthesia, some patients benefit from intravenous sedation or general anesthesia depending on the size, location, complexity of reconstruction, medical conditions, or personal preference.
Having these options available allows treatment to be individualized rather than dictated by a single approach.
A Better Patient Experience
The CosMOHs philosophy is simple:
Provide outstanding cancer care without asking patients to compromise comfort, convenience, communication, or cosmetic outcome.
Every treatment plan is developed collaboratively with one shared goal—achieving complete cancer treatment while helping patients continue to look and function as naturally as possible.
Looking Toward the Future
CosMOHs is more than a clinic.
It is a model for multidisciplinary skin cancer care that emphasizes collaboration, patient education, thoughtful reconstruction, and continuous quality improvement.
Our long-term vision is to establish CosMOHs as a recognized standard for comprehensive skin cancer treatment—bringing together the expertise of Mohs dermatology and plastic surgery to provide the kind of coordinated care many patients would choose if they knew it existed.
Our Philosophy
If we were caring for a member of our own family, we would want:
- The highest likelihood of complete cancer removal.
- Reconstruction performed by a surgeon whose specialty is restoring appearance and function.
- Thoughtful collaboration between specialists.
- Convenient, coordinated care.
- Anesthesia options tailored to the individual patient.
That philosophy is the foundation of every Certified CosMOHs Clinic.
