Why Choose Mosaic for Surgical Dermatology

Dr. Joanne Montgomery, a board-certified dermatologist and Fargo native, performs all surgical procedures at Mosaic Dermatology. With nearly 15 years of experience, she combines advanced surgical skill with a compassionate approach, ensuring patients feel comfortable, informed, and supported throughout their treatment.

Our Surgical Dermatology Services

We offer a full range of surgical treatments to meet each patient’s needs, including:

  • Skin cancer excision and treatment, which is the removal of cancerous lesions with careful attention to complete clearance and cosmetic outcome.
  • Removal of dysplastic or atypical moles to ensure they are fully excised and help prevent them from developing into skin cancer.
  • Removal of cysts, lipomas, and benign growths. These are in-office procedures to relieve discomfort, prevent recurrence, and remove unwanted skin growths.
  • Scar treatments using procedures and techniques designed to improve both function and appearance following injury, surgery, or acne.

Conditions We Treat

Skin Cancer Treatment

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. At Mosaic Dermatology, we emphasize early detection and effective treatment. When surgical removal is necessary, Dr. Montgomery uses precise excision techniques to ensure complete removal of the cancer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

Patient-Centered Care & Healing

We understand that the thought of surgery can feel overwhelming. That’s why we prioritize clear communication, gentle technique, and personalized aftercare. From the first consultation to the final follow-up, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

 

When to See a Dermatologist

Not every spot, bump, or scar needs surgery, but it is important to know when to seek expert care and advice. You should schedule a dermatology evaluation if you notice:

  • A mole that is changing in size, shape, or color
  • A rash that doesn’t improve with over-the-counter medications
  • Persistent acne or breakouts leaving scars
  • Chronic itching, redness, or discomfort
  • Hair thinning or unexplained nail changes
  • Cysts that are enlarging, uncomfortable, or recurring
  • Scars that affect function, comfort, or confidence
  • A new growth, lump, or bump under the skin

What Our Patients Are Saying...

I had been a patient of Dr. Joanne Montgomery at Sanford for over a decade. After leaving Sanford to establish her own practice, I followed her to her new clinic. Dr. Montgomery is highly educated in dermatology and I highly recommend her if you are experiencing skin issues. She listens attentively to my concerns and provides effective treatment for all my ailments. Her staff is also very knowledgeable, helpful, and incredibly professional and kind.

Mosaic Dermatology Patient

Dr. Montgomery has been my dermatologist since 2017. I value the expertise and excellent patient care that she gives to me at each appointment. She is personable and has exceptional communication skills. I always feel involved with my treatment plans. Therefore, when she opened up her new practice, I did not hesitate to make an appointment. My trust and confidence in her skills are over the top. Going with another dermatologist was not an option for me. Her receptionist and nurses round out a great team. No matter the age or dermatology concerns you may have, I highly recommend Dr. Montgomery and her team at Mosaic Dermatology.

I “followed” Dr. Montgomery from Sanford to Mosaic Dermatology because I trust her. She is very knowledgeable and makes me feel comfortable during exams. Her new dermatology office is state of the art and spectacular! It’s so clean, new and well decorated. I like the checkin process and the thorough medical history she looks at. Five star experience!
