It is important that you stop taking any over-the-counter medications or dietary supplements that act as a blood thinner, such as NSAIDs, aspirin, flaxseed oil, fish oil and vitamin E, approximately one week to 10 days prior to your procedure.  Speak with your physician before making any changes to your medications.  If you are prescribed a blood thinner by your physician, you must call their office to ask if and when you can stop taking it.  Do not stop taking your prescription medications unless directed to do so by your physician.
Mohs procedures can be lengthy in some cases, so you may want to bring a light snack and a good book.  It can be chilly in the procedure room, so you may want to dress in layers or bring a light sweater.  We want you to be comfortable during your procedure and we will make every effort to meet or exceed your expectations.
