All dermatologists are trained in basic dermatologic surgery. However, in some cases, a general dermatologist will receive additional training to become specialized in more complex surgical procedures, such as Mohs surgery. 

This depends on the type of dermatologic surgery you are having. However, in many cases, while you may experience some discomfort afterwards, your doctor will administer either a local or general anesthetic to minimize any pain or discomfort during the surgical procedure.

Many surgical dermatology procedures are covered by insurance. However, this depends on your individual insurance plan. Before you schedule your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance provider for clarification on which dermatology treatments are covered.
