About Our Laboratory

Our laboratory facility is a state of the art CLIA certified pathology lab. Here, skin tissue is examined for tumor presence in a procedure called  Mohs Surgery. First the skin is frozen and thinly sliced. Then the slides are stained and then examined by our Mohs Surgeon, who will mark if tumor is present and remove only the area where cancer is noted. Mohs Surgery has a
99% cure rate and is the best way to remove certain types of skin tumors.

THE MOHS PROCEDURE (Steps 1, 2, 3)

Step 1- Tissue is frozen and thinly sliced.

Step 2- Tissue staining occurs here.

Stage 3- Tissue is examined by Mohs Surgeon (Dr. Harvey and Dr. Hardy) who ensures that tumor removal is complete.

If you are having a surgical procedure performed in our facility and have questions regarding your procedure or a pathology report, please contact our triage nurse at 904-285-7546 ext 210.
