Dr. Tomás Toledo Pastrana

About me

My name is Tomás Toledo Pastrana and I am a dermatologist. I studied Medicine in Cádiz and completed my specialist training at Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena in Seville, the birthplace of dermatological surgery in western Andalusia. During this time, I received the inaugural Best Specialist Trainee Award for my cohort and completed my doctoral thesis. I specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of skin cancer, particularly Mohs surgery.

My main interest has always been the medical and surgical management of skin cancer. I trained in Mohs surgery at the Instituto Valenciano de Oncología (IVO), a national referral centre for this technique.

Since then, over 13 years, I have performed more than 700 Mohs procedures, including over 500 as the lead surgeon.

Here is a summary of my career:

• Specialist training at Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena (Seville).
  
• Consultant at Hospital Universitario de Puerto Real (Cádiz).
  
• Consultant at Hospital de Jerez (Cádiz), where I performed the first two Mohs surgery cases in the public healthcare system in Cádiz to treat dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
  
• Consultant and clinical supervisor for specialist trainees at Hospital Universitario Donostia (San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa). I performed the first ten Mohs procedures in Gipuzkoa’s public healthcare system. Together with colleagues, I established the Dermatology Day Surgery Unit.
  
• Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of the Basque Country.
  
• Consultant and clinical supervisor for specialist trainees at Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena (Seville). Member of the Mohs surgery and oncological surgery team, and of the melanoma and head and neck cancer subcommittees.
  
• Specialist at Quirónsalud Sagrado Corazón and Infanta Luisa hospitals in Seville, where I perform Mohs surgery and advanced surgery for skin cancer and hidradenitis suppurativa. Since 2020, I have performed more than 500 Mohs procedures as the lead surgeon at these two hospitals.
  
• Mohs surgery trainer (accreditation in progress).
  

I am a member of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV), the European Association of Dermato-Oncology (EADO) and the Spanish Dermatological Surgery Group (GEDOC).

I am one of the few Mohs surgeons in Spain, and I was the first surgeon in southern Spain (Andalusia, Murcia and Extremadura) to be accredited by the European Society for Mohs Surgery (ESMS). The ESMS is the society of European dermatologists dedicated to establishing and maintaining professional standards in micrographic surgery for skin cancer, particularly the Mohs technique. Mohs surgery is highly specialised and should be performed by certified dermatologists who have undergone rigorous training in this technique.

I am also certified by EADO (European Association of Dermato-Oncology) in the management of systemic therapies for skin cancer, a European diploma held by only around 40 doctors in Spain.

I regularly speak at national (AEDV, GEDOC) and international (ESMS, EADV) courses and conferences on surgical anatomy, complex reconstruction of surgical defects and Mohs surgery. Whenever I speak or lecture at a scientific event, I accept no funding, fees or transfers of value from the pharmaceutical industry, from which I am completely independent.

In 2023 and 2024, I had the great honour of being independently selected by Grupo Joly (Diario de Cádiz, Diario de Sevilla, Málaga Hoy, etc.) as one of the 50 best doctors in Andalusia.
