Mohs Surgery: The Most Effective Treatment for Skin Cancer

Mohs micrographic surgery is the most effective and advanced treatment for skin cancer. It is performed on an outpatient basis using a highly specialized and precise technique that removes the cancer in stages, one tissue layer at a time. This technique allows physicians to precisely identify and remove a tumor while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue intact and unharmed. Mohs surgery offers the highest potential for cure – even if the skin cancer has been previously treated by another method.

I had MOHS surgery yesterday at the Vacaville Kaiser hospital. This video was extremely helpful explaining the procedure and calming my nerves. MOHS is really the only way to go for skin cancer treatment .It is precise and accurate. Dr. Omlin did the surgery and I was amazed at what he was able to do. He is extremely skilled to say the least. He is a true artist when it comes to surgery. My sister has also had MOHS surgery several times with Dr. Omlin and she agrees that he is the absolute BEST doctor! Also I was so impressed with his dedicated, compassionate staff and nurses. They took every effort to make me feel supported and comfortable. Not to mention there was no pain at all to the procedure. Anyone having skin cancer removed should really seek out a MOHS surgeon. If you are lucky enough to have Kaiser Dr Omlin in Vacaville is the best!! .

I’ve had Mohs procedure twice by Dr. Omlin at the Vacaville campus. These experiences exceeded my expectations, both in terms of the actual procedure and the long term aesthetics. Dr. Omlin has an extraordinary commitment to patient comfort during the surgery, unlike other skin cancer treatments I’ve experienced. Bravo. This begins with the pre-surgery video posted here, which is extremely well done, having the correct level of detail for most individuals. The animation and verbiage were superb. Just as important as the pre-surgery video, Dr. Omlin also provided a post-procedure video on recovery and wound care, most helpful. Dr. Omlin and his team are a stellar asset to Kaiser Permanente.

I was diagnosed with a deadly cancer on my mouth that left a gaping hole extending down into my lip. At Kaiser Vacaville, Dr.Omlin performed the MOHS surgery reconstruction surgery. He has amazing God-given skills and abilities. I could have had a deformed lip without Dr. Omlin's technique. As a result of his work, I only have a tiny scar, barely visible. Under Dr.Omlin's care, he and his staff were kind, caring, and attentive. He went above and beyond to provide me with the best care possible. I thank God for putting me under his care, and to Him be the glory! My family and I are forever grateful for Dr. Omlin and his fantastic care. - Katherine Freeman

I've had 4 MOH's surgeries done on my face.
I also had the flap procedure done on my nose. I watched this video yesterday prior to another surgery. It is so concise and informative. I especially liked the cancer comparison to an iceberg. My latest incident was the tiniest spot that bled when I washed my face. This procedure is awesome. Dr. Omlin is awesome. MOH's clinic should be complimented.

Lost my dad in 2004 to melanoma. He had Mohs done on his head, the original tumor site. Unfortunately the cancer cells had already spread to his lymph nodes. But I was very impressed with the surgery. And the video does a great job of explaining it. Thank you for posting it!

Excellent video! Even more impressive are the actual results from Mohs micrographic surgery. I would not have an earlobe if it weren't for this type of surgery. The amazing technique of using what little of the earlobe I had left to create and leave me an earlobe is something I am extremely grateful for. When told that cancer had gone all the way through my earlobe, all I could imagine is what you see in docked neutered feral cats, a big missing chunk of my lower ear. Instead I have two matching earlobes, whew! What profound gratitude I have for Dr. Omlin, his staff and Mohs micrographic surgery!! Thank you!!!

Just came back from seeing Dr. Andrea Willey in Sacramento. She was just wonderful, and I have no worries that my incision site will be healed nicely in the next 6 months.

I watched this enlightening video while in a waiting area at Kaiser Vacaville. I learned from the ending credits that it was created and produced by Dr. Omlin, the surgeon I was waiting to see. I can't imagine a more informative and calming waiting room experience. Dr. Omlin's facial surgery itself can only be described as an alliance between medical science and artistry.

What an innovative way to treat skin cancer! It appears to me that this is a very precise and thorough procedure which allows the surgeon to reassure that all the cancerous material is gone, even during the procedure. It's astonishing how cleanly even larger wounds can be closed whilst avoiding bigger scars in the patient's face. The techniques seem simple, yet effective and should, in my humble opinion, be performed all around the world. Medical advancements like this one bring us one step further in battling a common enemy.

I had not heard of MOHS surgery prior to my skin cancer diagnosis. I was very nervous when told that I would undergo this procedure but this video really helped. I had my surgery and it was less traumatic knowing what to expect. Thank You!🙂

I cannot say enough about Dr. Omlin and his fabulous staff!!! I’ve had 5 separate skin cancers. The first one at only 21 years old on my face. That was over 30 years ago. Because it was not MOHS surgery, it came back in the same spot. Dear Dr. Omlin was able to finally remove it once and for all. He gave me options, explained every detail, was patient with my questions and anxieties and EVEN called me at home to see how I was doing. I hope I never get another skin cancer. But, in the event I do….. he is the ONLY doctor I would let take care of it. I trust him implicitly and he does wonderful work!!!!

[dianekress-tibh]

This treatment was beyond my hopes, from the kindness of medical assistants to the amazing expertise of Dr. Omlin and his gentle approach, plus easy to understand videos that he produced, it was a stellar experience. I’m grateful for him, his talent and TLC!

Mohs surgery has been a life saver for me, having had 3 surgeries (ear, temple, nose) all basal cell carcinoma type. Doctor Kenny dealt with these beautifully and efficiently. I then had an encounter with the squamous cell carcinoma and in a matter of months it blew up and needed attention earlier. Thankfully Dr. Kenny looked in at my appointment and sensed the urgency, I was immediately set up for surgery. So if anyone else is dealing with squamous, avoid protocol and jump to the front of the line for surgery, weeks or months make a difference. My last surgery was successful and I am being monitored, good luck everyone with skin issues, where was sunscreen in the 60’s, 70’s…

Thank you, Dr. Omlin at Kaiser Vacaville Moh's Surgery, for getting the cancer off my thumb so quickly and painlessly and completely! I am so grateful to have this surgery available to me for my many incidents of skin cancer. My parents and brother have also benefitted from it.

[rachelgriner]

Dr. Omlin is an extremely caring and talented surgeon. I have had two mohs procedures done by him and you can't even tell I've had anything removed! He is so good at what he does that there is not even a hint of a scar. On top of his excellent work he is very personable and takes the time to communicate with you at all stages of the procedure, before, during, and after. You can tell he is in it to care for others. Great video, I highly recommend him as a doctor!

[gleninderbitzin]

Excellent work Dr. Omlin! Thank you for always putting your patients first.

[MarkMcleod-po]

I had Mohs Surgery by Dr. Kenny Omlin at Kaiser Vacaville. He had to remove a rather large piece between my chin and lower lip. I was amazed by the minimal scarring just 1 week after Surgery. I am very pleased with the outcome. Dr. Kenny is incredible at his craft. I appreciated his creativity on the way he stitched the wound seamlessly!! The staff was great as well. They explained everything step by step and made it as pleasurable of an experience as it could be. Thank you Dr. Kenny and staff!!

Happy New Ear! Just wanted to let Dr. Kenny Omlin and his team know how grateful and happy I am for the fantastic job they did on my ear. People who knew about my ear often ask “which ear was done”. Great work!!
