Every biopsy read in-house.
Dr. Wolpowitz is double board-certified in dermatology and dermatopathology — a rare combination, and the reason every biopsy we take is read on-site rather than sent out.
In their own words
I have been to Dr. Smith several times for MOHs surgery. I find him professional, kind and he has a wonderful way in listening to all my concerns and questions. I have been exceptionally pleased with all my MOHs surgeries. I would highly recommend Dr Smith.
I had skin tags removed. I could feel them and was constantly touching them. Now that they are gone I can honestly say it was the best $200 I've spent!
Mohs surgery has one of the highest cure rates for common skin cancers.
Mohs surgery removes skin cancer layer by layer, examining each layer under the microscope until no cancer cells remain. The precision minimizes scarring while maximizing cure rates.
Dr. Steven Smith has performed 25,000 Mohs cases during a 20+ year career in Wellesley — making him one of the most experienced Mohs surgeons in New England.
