About Warthan Dermatology Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery Center · Fort Worth
Warthan Dermatology Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery Center is a physician-owned dermatology practice in Fort Worth, Texas, founded and led by board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon Molly M. Warthan, M.D. The practice specializes in Mohs micrographic skin cancer surgery — the gold-standard technique for removing skin cancers on the face and neck while preserving the maximum amount of healthy skin — and complements it with full medical and cosmetic dermatology services. Located in the heart of Fort Worth off Edwards Ranch Road, the clinic serves patients of all ages from across Tarrant County and the surrounding North Texas region.
Warthan Dermatology Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery Center is the Fort Worth practice of Molly M. Warthan, M.D., a Nacogdoches, Texas native who followed in the footsteps of her father and sister as a dermatologist. Dr. Warthan graduated from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, earned her medical degree with honors at The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, completed her Dermatology residency at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, and then completed a dedicated fellowship in Mohs Micrographic Surgery in Tallahassee, Florida — performing over 4,000 surgery cases during training. She became internationally known for pioneering research showing that some individuals can become physically addicted to tanning, a finding covered by the NBC TODAY show, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, and she has continued to participate in FDA clinical trials for treatments including BOTOX, biologic psoriasis medications, and acne drugs. The Fort Worth clinic offers a comprehensive range of services: Mohs micrographic surgery with a documented 97–99% cure rate; medical dermatology including skin cancer screening, mole checks, treatment of precancerous lesions, melanoma treatment, photodynamic therapy, nail biopsies, ear lobe repair, and re-excision of dysplastic nevi and melanoma; and cosmetic dermatology including CoolSculpting fat reduction, BOTOX and Dysport neurotoxin injections, Juvéderm, Restylane and Sculptra fillers, SkinPen microneedling, chemical peels, and medical-grade skincare lines (Neocutis, Skin Better, Elta MD).

Mohs Micrographic Skin Cancer Surgery
Mohs surgery is the practice's signature service and the gold standard for removing skin cancers on the face and neck, achieving the highest documented cure rate (97–99%) while preserving the maximum amount of healthy skin. The technique was first developed in the 1930s by Dr. Frederick Mohs and involves removing skin cancer one layer at a time and examining each layer microscopically to confirm complete removal before reconstruction.

- Tumor mapped microscopically to identify 'roots' before closing the wound
- Performed with local anesthesia in the office
- Highest tissue-sparing technique — ideal for face, neck, ears, and other cosmetically sensitive areas
- Day-of-surgery preparation includes: arranging a driver, bringing a sweater/jacket, book/iPad, lunch (water, coffee, and light snacks provided), light breakfast, and a full-day time commitment
