WellAve Dermatology Celebrates 1,200 Mohs Surgeries at Frederick, Maryland Surgery Center

Adds Elite Mohs Surgeon Dr. Kara Hoverson to Expand Unmatched Skin Cancer Care in Maryland

FREDERICK, Md., Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- WellAve Dermatology is proud to announce a major milestone: over 1,200 Mohs surgical procedures successfully performed at its Frederick Surgery Center since opening just one year ago. This momentous achievement reflects the trust of patients across Maryland and highlights WellAve's commitment to cutting-edge care in skin cancer treatment.

To meet the rising demand for advanced skin cancer surgery, WellAve Dermatology is thrilled to welcome Dr. Kara Hoverson, a fellowship-trained Mohs Surgeon, to its Frederick team full-time. Dr. Hoverson brings a remarkable blend of technical precision and heartfelt compassion, embodying WellAve's mission of exceptional, patient-first care.

"Adding Dr. Hoverson to our Frederick Surgery Center elevates our ability to serve the community," said Dr. Allan Harrington, Founder of WellAve Dermatology and Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. "Together, we offer a Mohs surgical team that is unmatched anywhere in the state. Our patients deserve the best, and now they have it—right here in Frederick."

Mohs Surgery: The Gold Standard in Skin Cancer Treatment

Mohs surgery is the most effective and precise technique for removing basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other complex skin cancers. The procedure removes cancerous tissue layer by layer while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. WellAve's success in completing over 1,200 procedures in its first year is a testament to its clinical expertise, precision technology, and commitment to patient outcomes.

Revolutionizing Care Through Technology

In a bold move to lead the digital transformation of dermatology, WellAve has also launched a groundbreaking mobile app that is redefining the patient experience. Designed to keep patients informed, engaged, and empowered, the app includes:

• Real-time access to WellAve Mohs surgeons
• Post-surgical wound care videos and guidance
• Secure medical update and rapid follow-up support
• Faster communication boosting satisfaction and peace of mind
• Integrated outcomes tracking for continuous care excellence

"This is about more than innovation—it's about connection," said Dr. Harrington. "Our mobile app brings patients and providers together in real time. It's one of the first of its kind in dermatologic surgery and reinforces our commitment to best-in-class care."

The Future of Dermatology Is Here

With the combination of Dr. Allan Harrington and Dr. Kara Hoverson state-of-the-art surgical suites, and one of the industry's most advanced patient apps, WellAve Dermatology stands alone as the premier provider of skin cancer care in Maryland.

Patients in the greater Frederick area and beyond now have access to the highest caliber of Mohs surgical expertise, advanced technology, and the warmth and personal care that defines the WellAve difference.
