Wikipedia has an interesting commentary on Mohs and the nose area.  Just type in Mohs Surgery.

Most dermatologists have a MOH trained surgeon who is affiliated with their office as the four around here are.  I would not have anyone do MOH surgery unless they were MOH certified.  There is a listing put out about licensed MOH surgeons thru their association  I just looked at it tonight -
