Professional Societies
Patients on Sarah Wilson, MD
★★★★★
“Dr. Wilson was very thorough in making sure my basal cell carcinoma was completely removed. She took time to answer questions and personally called to check on me later in the evening.”
★★★★★
“Had Mohs surgery on my nose yesterday. It turned into a 6 hour ordeal. I cannot say enough about Dr. Sarah Wilson and her team. Throughout the day they realized my level of anxiety was increasing as she had to keep taking more skin until she finally said “we got it”. They were so calming and kind to me. I highly recommend this practice.”

Real Results
Mohs surgery cases by Sarah Wilson, MD
23 real cases — from the first visit through the healed result. Every patient gave signed permission to share their photos. These cases also live on the Mohs case-photo page.
Real surgical photography ahead
These are unretouched photos from actual Mohs surgeries, including the open surgical site after cancer removal and stitches during healing. They're medical, not gory — but if you'd rather not see mid-surgery photos, the Mohs overview shows only before-and-healed comparisons.
