Frequently Asked Questions

  • A: It’s recommended to have an annual skin check-up, especially if you have a history of skin issues or are at risk for skin cancer.

  • A: Our pediatric dermatology visits are designed to be gentle and reassuring for your child. We focus on accurate diagnosis and effective, child-friendly treatments.

  • A: Before your skin cancer screening, it’s best to avoid heavy makeup or sunscreen. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to areas of your skin that need to be examined. If you have any specific concerns or spots you want us to check, please mention them during your appointment.

  • A: To maintain healthy skin, follow a daily routine that includes gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30. It's also important to stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and avoid excessive sun exposure. Regular skin checks and prompt attention to any changes in your skin are key to long-term health.

Mohs Surgery Questions

  • A: Mohs surgery is a highly specialized and precise procedure for removing skin cancer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. It is considered the most effective treatment for certain types of skin cancer, with the highest cure rate compared to other methods.

  • A. Please arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to allow for check-in and preparation.

  • A: We are located on the 2nd floor of the Spectrum / RAO Building at 7336 N. Classen Blvd, Suite 200, Oklahoma City, OK 73116.

  • A: Dr. Jason Hirshburg is a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon. After completing medical school at the University of Oklahoma and a dermatology residency at the University of Texas, he pursued advanced surgical training at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston & Houston, TX, specializing in Mohs Micrographic Surgery.

  • A: Yes, we encourage you to take all of your regular medications and eat a good breakfast unless otherwise directed. If you take Warfarin (Coumadin), we require a recent INR result within one week of your surgery. Other blood thinners do not require additional precautions.

  • A: Most Mohs surgery appointments last about three hours, but sometimes they can take longer. The duration depends on how many layers of skin need to be removed to ensure all cancerous cells are eliminated. While waiting, you will have a bandage in place until we confirm the cancer is completely removed.

  • A: No, Mohs surgery is performed under local anesthesia only. This method is much safer than general anesthesia and ensures a faster recovery.

  • A: You may feel a brief stinging sensation when the numbing medication is injected, but you should not experience sharp pain during surgery. After the procedure, mild soreness is expected, but most patients manage discomfort with ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

  • A: On the night before or morning of your surgery, bathe with antibacterial soap and your normal shampoo. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the surgical site, and avoid makeup if your procedure is done on your face. Reducing or stopping smoking before surgery can also improve healing.

  • A: We will provide detailed wound care instructions at your appointment. Basic care includes washing the wound daily with soap and water, keeping it covered with Vaseline and a bandage, and avoiding strenuous activity.

  • A: In most cases, stitches are used to close the area. Mohs surgery is designed to preserve as much healthy tissue as possible, resulting in minimal scarring.

  • A: Feel free to bring snacks, non-alcoholic drinks, a book, a magazine, a tablet, or a phone to pass the time. We also provide TVs in the room. Many patients also bring a sweater or jacket in case they get cold.

  • A: Since no general anesthesia or sedatives are used, most patients can drive themselves home. However, if the surgery is on your eye, foot, or another area that could limit mobility, we recommend arranging for a driver.

  • A: We recommend avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for two weeks to allow proper healing. Light activities like walking and routine daily tasks are typically fine.

  • A: We accept most major insurance plans, and our team will provide as much information as possible before your surgery. If you have any concerns about coverage or costs, please call our office at (405) 285-8823 for assistance.
