What Happens During a Skin Cancer Consultation?

ByDr. Alexander Berlin

Many patients feel anxious after being diagnosed with skin cancer or being referred for Mohs surgery. One of the most common questions we hear is: “What should I expect at the consultation?”

During your visit, Dr. Berlin will review:

  • Your biopsy results
  • The location and type of skin cancer
  • Treatment options
  • Expected recovery
  • Reconstruction planning, if needed

Patients often ask about:

  • How long treatment takes
  • Whether stitches will be needed
  • Activity restrictions afterward
  • Scar healing
  • Insurance coverage and scheduling

For patients who may need Mohs surgery, we also explain how the staged removal process works and why it offers high cure rates while preserving healthy tissue.

Every skin cancer case is different. Factors such as the size, location, and subtype of the cancer all influence treatment recommendations.

At DFW Skin Surgery Center, our goal is to keep the process organized, clear, and efficient while helping patients feel informed throughout treatment.

We provide consultations and treatment for skin cancer patients in Arlington, Southlake, and across the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
