Cary Skin Center, one of the largest skin cancer treatment centers in North Carolina, specializes in Mohs micrographic surgery, a type of skin cancer treatment developed by Dr. Frederick Mohs in the 1930s. It's a technique that incorporates pathology and surgery to incrementally remove cancerous skin tissue using immediate microscopic evaluations of tissue. Tissue layers are examined until tumor is definitively mapped and removed. The process is the most effective technique for treating skin cancer, sparing the greatest amount of healthy tissue, while removing cancerous cells. The physicians at Cary Skin Center have performed thousands Mohs surgery procedures and now have that expertise recognized as a Center of Excellence.
" The fundamentals of an SRC Accreditation are intrinsic to the delivery of safe and effective patient care," said Robert Clark, MD, PhD., President of Cary Skin Center.

We are delighted to have our 26 years recognized as having become a culture of excellence.”
“As a health care consumer, you deserve nothing less than excellent care. SRC’s gold seal means that you can expect excellence,” said Joshua B. Eickstaedt, MD. Mohs micrographic surgeon at Cary Skin Center Pinehurst.
