For twenty years, the Dermatologic Surgery Center of Washington, DSCW, has been Washington DC’s preferred referral center for Mohs surgery, medical dermatology, and the latest cosmetic and rejuvenation treatments. Our team of Dermatologists, Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants are known for their excellence in medical skin care and compassion for their patients. Skin cancer is the most common forms of cancer. Mohs micrographic surgery is the most effective skin cancer treatment. Dr. Maral K. Skelsey, the founder and director of DSCW, is one of the nation’s leading Mohs surgeons. She is fellowship-trained as a cancer surgeon, pathologist and reconstructive surgeon. The Mohs technique is unique as it involves surgically removing skin cancer layer by layer and examining the tissue under a microscope until healthy, cancer-free tissue around the tumor is reached. The outcome is a cure rate of 99%, along with the most cosmetically favorable result possible. In addition to cancer treatment, early detection and prevention, the Center sees patients for all general dermatology conditions and the latest cosmetic treatments.
