Mosher Center Surgery Team
Jessica Suzanne Mosher, MD
Dr. Mosher and her Mohs team have been together for over 16 years. They have masterfully earned their reputation as “Best of Boston”. Boston Magazine and Castle Connolly placed Dr. Mosher and her team on their Top Doctors list in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 for Mohs Surgery. Dr. Mosher has also been named an Exceptional Woman in Medicine for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.
Dr. Mosher completed her fellowship in Mohs Micrographic Surgery under Suzanne Olbricht, M.D. at Lahey Clinic/Harvard Medical School–who was the 2023 recipient of the Fred Mohs Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest honor granted in the American College of Mohs Surgery.
Prior to opening her state-of-the-art Mohs Center in Wellesley Hills, Dr. Mosher served as the Director of Mohs Surgery in private practice in Wellesley for 7 years, and previously established the Mohs department at Atrius Health, where her team rapidly drew accolades as the most efficient and sought-out team across the entire organization. Together since 2008, she and her award-winning team have built a highly successful Mohs surgical practice and have treated over twenty thousand skin cancers during their tenure together. They couldn’t be more excited to continue to deliver care in their brand new practice, the Mosher Center!
At the Mosher Center, we understand that surgery for skin cancer–especially on sensitive areas such as the face, can be a frightening experience. Dr. Mosher is an expert surgeon with a meticulous eye for unparalleled aesthetic outcomes. Many of her patients seek her out because they feel her repairs and long-term results are far superior to industry standard.
Dr. Mosher’s reassuring manner, and her team’s collective years of expertise, can relax even the most apprehensive of patients. Many patients report that their surgery was easy and comfortable, and further note how the team made the day enjoyable.
In addition to her clinical appointments, Dr. Mosher is part of the consulting staff at Newton Wellesley Hospital. She lectures and teaches on Mohs surgical techniques at the local and national level.
Dr. Mosher is a member of the following professional societies:
American Academy of Dermatology

Hello, my name is Christina and I started my healthcare career at Northeastern University and worked at Beth Israel Hospital for 20 plus years. There I met Sharon Sasso, and Dr. Mosher when she was a resident. I’m a surgical histotechnologist and a surgical tech. I’ve been working in Mohs since 2005, and with Dr. Mosher since 2010. I take the cancerous tissue and process it in the laboratory by freezing and carefully taking thin sections on our cryostat. Then the tissue moves through a variety of stains that help highlight tumor cells. Dr. Mosher then reads the slides and determines if there is any more tumor left to remove. While I really enjoy this part of my job, I am even more passionate about working directly with patients. Unlike many histotechnologists, I also serve as a surgical scrub technician, which means I assist Dr. Mosher with the plastic surgery repairs after the skin cancers have been removed. I like to make patients feel at ease, comfortable, and relaxed during their procedures. When necessary, I scrub in to assist with the plastic surgeon with surgical repairs. In addition, whenever Dr. Mosher wants a terrific bandage for the patients, she calls for me!
When I’m not at work I love to travel and spend quality time with my family, my dog Cruiser, and my husband Tim.
Sharon Sasso, RN
As a native of Massachusetts, a passion for hard work and medicine runs in my family - my sister and I are both nurses. I started as a surgical technician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center before transitioning into my RN role for four years in the Emergency Room. Then, I realized my passion for Mohs and returned to the Mohs unit. I am proud to have 26 years and counting of clinical Mohs experience.
I have worked with Dr Mosher since 2008. Our team provides unparalleled care to our surgical patients with special attention to cosmetic reconstruction. What sets us apart is that we function as a cohesive unit given that we have worked together since 2008, and share a passion for outstanding clinical care. Having surgery can be frightening, but we make it an enjoyable experience for patients.
We meet our patients where they need to be met- whether that be by chatting them through the case, listening to music together, or hearing stories about their families, we always come out at the end having learned something new about them, and often just about life. There is no greater gift in medicine these days than having time to spend with our patients - while awake - and Mohs provides that unique opportunity.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, 2 children mostly in hockey rinks, and our dog Willow. I also enjoy exercising and being outdoors.

I have been a registered nurse for many years, with a meaningful pause in my career to raise my three children. At age 25, I was diagnosed with melanoma—an experience that has deeply connected me to the world of skin cancer and aesthetics ever since.
Today, I work alongside Dr. Mosher as a surgical Mohs assistant, where I bring both clinical expertise and personal understanding to patients navigating skin cancer diagnoses and treatment.
In addition to assisting with Mohs surgery, I am certified in a range of aesthetic procedures, including Botox, microneedling, Sculptra, dermal fillers, and IV therapies.
We are proud to offer these services to a wide range of patients—from those seeking routine maintenance and rejuvenation to individuals preparing for or recovering from surgical procedures.
Outside of work I enjoy golfing, skiing, taking my two shih=apso dogs, Ben and Jerry for walks, traveling, and spending time with my family. I continue to focus on keeping up my skills while exploring today’s new world of Aesthetic beauty and Dermatology services.
Gap Year Program
Since 2017, we have been training collegiate graduates as surgical assistants in our Mohs practice. These students spend one to two years working in the Mohs environment, learning everything about pre-surgical, surgical and post surgical care. They learn how to educate patients about Mohs, complete medical histories, bandage patients, remove sutures, provide wound care instructions and even begin to make their own clinical assessments. They learn A-to-Z essentials about taking medical histories and a broad array of clinical topics not limited to dermatology and dermatologic surgery.
Given Dr. Mosher’s background in internal medicine and years of experience teaching medical students, residents and fellows in academic centers, our gap year students uniformly report that they are light-years ahead when they reach their medical school clinical rotations. The majority of our graduates have pursued surgical careers, and state that it was their time with us that was most influential in that decision.
Our training program is rigorous and only fully-committed premedical students with a surgical orientation, who have already completed or about to complete their MCATs, should apply. Applications open in December for work beginning the following June. Applications are available under Handshake. Students may also reach out directly via email here.
Interested students should send an email inquiry along with a CV, transcript and two letters of recommendation. We are open to hosting potential applicants during Thanksgiving and December holidays. We also take undergraduate students during the summer prior to senior year for clinical observerships.
