What Is Mohs Surgery - and Why Is It the Gold Standard?
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is widely regarded as the most effective and precise technique available for the removal of common skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Unlike traditional excision methods, Mohs surgery allows the surgeon to remove cancerous tissue layer by layer, examining each layer under a microscope in real time until all cancer cells have been completely cleared.
This highly specialized approach offers patients:
• The highest cure rates of any skin cancer treatment - up to 99% for primary cancers
• Maximum preservation of healthy surrounding tissue
• Immediate confirmation that all cancer has been removed during the same appointment
• Superior cosmetic outcomes - particularly important for cancers on the face, ears, nose, and neck
• Reduced risk of recurrence compared to standard surgical excision
For patients in New York City facing a skin cancer diagnosis, Mohs surgery represents the most reliable path to complete removal with the least impact on surrounding healthy tissue.

Why Choosing the Right Mohs Surgeon in NYC Matters
Not all Mohs surgeons are equal. The outcome of skin cancer removal surgery depends greatly on the training, experience, and skill of the surgeon performing the procedure. When selecting a Mohs surgeon in New York City, patients are encouraged to consider:
• Board certification specifically in Mohs Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery
• Years of experience performing Mohs procedures across a range of skin cancer types and locations
• Reconstructive expertise - the ability to repair and restore the surgical site with precision and artistry
• A personalized approach - ensuring every patient receives a treatment plan tailored to their specific diagnosis, anatomy, and cosmetic goals
Dr. Shelton meets and exceeds every one of these criteria. His practice, the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York (LSSC), has become a destination for patients seeking the highest standard of skin cancer care in New York City - many of whom are referred by fellow physicians who trust Dr. Shelton implicitly with their own patients.

The "Michelangelo of Mohs Surgery"
The nickname bestowed upon Dr. Shelton by his peers speaks volumes. Just as Michelangelo approached every work with an artist's eye and a craftsman's precision, Dr. Shelton brings the same philosophy to every Mohs procedure he performs.
Skin cancer removal - particularly on visible areas of the face and body - requires not only the complete eradication of cancerous cells but also a thoughtful approach to wound closure and reconstruction. Dr. Shelton's ability to achieve both with exceptional skill is what has distinguished him as a premier skin cancer removal surgeon in NYC for decades.
His patients consistently report outcomes that are not only medically successful but visually natural - scars that heal beautifully, contours that are preserved, and confidence that is restored.
