Mohs surgery and skin cancer treatment in Newport Beach
Gold-Standard Treatment

Mohs Surgery, Performed by an Expert

For many skin cancers — especially on the face — Mohs micrographic surgery is the gold standard. The cancer is removed one thin layer at a time, and each layer is examined under a microscope until only cancer-free tissue remains.

This precision delivers the highest cure rate while preserving the most healthy skin, which means smaller scars and better cosmetic results. Our Mohs surgery is performed by Dr. Soheil Simzar, a fellowship-trained, board-certified dermatologist and Clinical Instructor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

  • Up to 99% cure rate for common skin cancers
  • Maximum preservation of healthy tissue
  • Same-day removal and reconstruction
  • Meticulous, cosmetic-focused repair

Common Questions

What to Expect

How often should I get a skin cancer screening?

Most adults benefit from an annual full-body skin examination. If you have a history of skin cancer, atypical moles, fair skin, or significant sun exposure, your physician may recommend screenings every three to six months.

What is Mohs surgery?

Mohs micrographic surgery removes skin cancer layer by layer, examining each layer under a microscope until only cancer-free tissue remains. It offers the highest cure rate while preserving the most healthy skin, making it ideal for the face.

Does a skin cancer screening hurt?

A screening itself is painless — it's a visual, head-to-toe examination of the skin. If a biopsy is needed, the area is numbed first, so you feel only minimal discomfort.

Do you offer same-day skin checks in Newport Beach?

Yes. As a concierge practice we reserve priority and same-week appointments for new or changing spots. Call (949) 820-7546 to arrange a timely evaluation.

How long does a screening take?

A thorough full-body skin examination typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. Because we are concierge, your visit is unhurried and you'll have time to ask every question.
