Director of Dermatologic and Mohs Micrographic Surgery at UC San Diego Health and a fellow of the American College of Mohs Surgery, Dr. Shang I B. Jiang, MD operates the UCSD Hillcrest dermatologic surgery division at 200 W Arbor Dr. Most Mohs cases route through the dermatology clinics based out of UC San Diego Health 4th & Lewis Medical Offices, where pre-surgical consultations, frozen-section histopathology, and staged excisions for basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas happen in sequence on the same visit. Dr. Jiang completed dermatology residency, chief residency, and a Mohs micrographic surgery and dermatologic oncology fellowship at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and his published research focuses on surgical outcomes in immunosuppressed and HIV-positive skin cancer patients. Mandarin is spoken with patients. Reconstructive hand-cancer defects after Mohs occasionally coordinate with occupational therapy through Advanced Hand Therapy to restore grip strength and tendon glide. The highest-complexity workload covers Mohs on melanoma in situ and rare cutaneous malignancies such as Merkel cell carcinoma and sebaceous carcinoma in Muir-Torre syndrome.
