Mohs Surgery & Dermatology Center

What Mohs Surgery & Dermatology Center does

Mohs Surgery & Dermatology Center is a privately-held, multi-location dermatology practice headquartered in Elgin, Illinois, operating five clinical sites across the Chicago exurbs (Elgin, Crystal Lake, Huntley, Ingleside, and St. Charles). The practice was the first in the region to offer Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer removal and reports a 99% cure rate for first-time cancers and 94% for recurrent cancers using the technique. Its clinical staff comprises six board-certified dermatologists (several fellowship-trained in Mohs surgery, with prior academic appointments at Mayo Clinic, University of Connecticut, and Eastern Virginia Medical School), nine physician assistants, and two aestheticians, delivering medical, surgical, cosmetic, and pediatric dermatology services.

The service portfolio is built around four pillars: Mohs surgery and surgical dermatology (excisions, cryosurgery, curettage, cyst removal); medical dermatology for chronic conditions (acne, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, vitiligo, warts); cosmetic/aesthetic services using Sciton BBL laser, Morpheus8 RF microneedling, SkinPen with PRP, Botox, fillers, Vi Peel, and the 2025 additions of EmFace and EmSculpt Neo; and a retail line of clinically tested skincare products (Latisse, Neocutis, Obagi, Elta MD, Jane Iredale). The practice operates telemedicine consultations, an in-house patient portal (MyPatientVisit), and online bill pay alongside in-person visits.

Revenue is generated through insurance reimbursement for medical/surgical services (in-network with Medicare, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, UHC, Humana and others), cash-pay for elective cosmetic procedures, and retail product sales. Patient acquisition is primarily direct-to-consumer through online booking, physician referrals, word-of-mouth, and earned media (3,009 reviews at 4.88/5 on Google and Yelp). The business is independently owned with no identified private equity, parent company, or external investor backing, and retains the operational flexibility of a private practice model.
