WellAve Dermatology Expands Services to Easton, Maryland

WellAve Dermatology has announced a significant enhancement to its surgical offerings with the introduction of Mohs Micrographic Surgery at its new Easton office, effective February 12, 2026. Under the leadership of Dr. Kara Hoverson, a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon and the newly appointed Vice President of Clinical Surgical Services, this advancement aims to provide high-level skin cancer treatment to the Eastern Shore community.

Dr. Hoverson brings a wealth of expertise in advanced skin cancer surgery, having previously worked at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where she handled complex cases and honed her skills at one of the country’s most esteemed military medical facilities. This unique background, combined with her commitment to patient-centered care, positions WellAve Dermatology as a leading provider of skin cancer services in the area.

In the Easton expansion, Dr. Hoverson will work alongside Dr. Allan C. Harrington, the Founder and Chief Medical Officer of WellAve. Dr. Harrington has established one of the most reputable Mohs surgery programs in the Mid-Atlantic region, enhancing the quality of care available to patients from Maryland and neighboring Delaware and Virginia.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is often recognized as the gold standard in treating various forms of skin cancer due to its high cure rates and minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissue. By offering these advanced surgical services directly in Easton, patients can now receive necessary care without the burden of traveling long distances, such as crossing the Bay Bridge to access specialized treatment.

The expansion into Easton reflects WellAve's dedication to increasing access to Mohs surgery, adding to their existing locations in Annapolis and Frederick. This initiative aims to ensure that patients across Maryland, from the scenic waterfront of Annapolis to the rolling hills of Western Maryland, can conveniently receive the best possible skin cancer care within their community.

Expressing her enthusiasm about the expansion, Dr. Hoverson commented, “It's incredibly important to provide residents of the Eastern Shore with the same level of expertise and surgical precision found in more urban areas. Our goal is to deliver top-tier care—characterized by compassion and efficiency—right in their own neighborhoods.”

Dr. Harrington echoed these sentiments, stating, “The addition of Dr. Hoverson to our team will elevate the quality of our surgical platform. This expansion is not only about fulfilling a community need but also about reinforcing our promise to deliver outstanding dermatologic services with a focus on lasting patient satisfaction.”

As part of the Easton expansion, Dr. Hoverson's promotion to Vice President of Clinical Surgical Services signifies a commitment to further growth and innovation in the statewide surgical programs of WellAve.

The team at WellAve Dermatology is actively welcoming new patients seeking Mohs surgery at the Easton facility, and appointments are being scheduled to address the growing need for advanced dermatologic care.
