Our board-certified surgeons specialize in minimally invasive surgery for many gynecologic conditions. Minimally invasive surgery requires very small incisions – or no incisions at all – and the surgeon controls tiny cameras and instruments to complete the procedure.
Dr. Mollie MacCormack specializes in Mohs surgery to remove skin cancer. This procedure can remove the entire skin cancer leaving the smallest mark resulting in the smallest scar possible. Most of the time the skin cancer can be removed in one step. There are occasions, however, when we need to perform additional surgical steps to fully remove all of the cancer. The entire process of removing the skin cancer, evaluating the skin under the microscope, and closing the skin can take a minimum of two hours. The Mohs procedure is 99% effective in removing all the cancer.
Your first appointment with the doctor is typically a consultation. During this appointment, you will discuss the Mohs micrographic procedure to prepare you for the surgery. It is important that you bring your calendar to this appointment as surgery should not be scheduled close to times you will be traveling, athletic events, or events such as weddings.

Before Your Surgery
Several days before your surgery, you’ll get a phone call from a nurse in the Pre-Admissions Department. The nurse will review your health and medication history, and you’ll have a chance to ask questions. We’ll also tell you how you can prepare for your surgery. Please be ready to tell the nurse:
- Your phone numbers (home, work, and cell), so we can reach you in case we need to change the time of your surgery
- Any allergies you have to food, medicine, latex, or anything else
Leaving the Medical Center
When it’s time for you to leave the Medical Center, our case managers will help plan your home care and arrange for any medical equipment or other services you might need. We’ll review your personalized written instructions with you to make sure you understand your care plan.
Please arrange for a ride home in advance. When you’re ready to leave, a volunteer or a member of the hospital staff will bring you to the main entrance and make sure that your ride is here.
