About me

Dermatologist dedicated to Mohs surgery and skin cancer

My name is Tomás Toledo Pastrana, and I am a dermatologist specialising in the medical and surgical treatment of skin cancer, with a particular focus on Mohs surgery and skin cancer treatment in Seville, southern Spain.

Throughout my career, I have performed approximately 1,000 Mohs procedures as the lead surgeon. I currently lead the Andalusian Institute of Mohs Surgery, based at Quirónsalud Infanta Luisa and Sagrado Corazón hospitals in Seville, where our team typically performs five to eight Mohs procedures each week.

Our accumulated experience and work with complex cases have established the institute as a referral centre for Mohs surgery in southern Spain. For me, that responsibility means assessing every case carefully, continuing to learn and giving each patient thoughtful, compassionate care.

Exclusive Private Practice and Personalised Care

I work exclusively in private practice, focusing on Mohs surgery and skin cancer treatment. This allows me to organise my clinical work around my patients and give each person the time and undivided attention they need, without splitting my working day between public and private healthcare commitments.

I understand that a skin cancer diagnosis can bring anxiety, uncertainty and many questions. Listening to your concerns, explaining your options clearly and helping you understand what to expect are essential parts of your care.

My approach is personal, approachable and tailored to each individual, from the initial assessment through surgery and follow-up. Every patient experiences their diagnosis differently, and I aim to support both your medical needs and your personal concerns.

Training and Experience in Skin Cancer Surgery

Consultations and care are available in Spanish, English and Italian. I want you to feel comfortable discussing your concerns and asking questions in the language you feel most at ease with, so that you can clearly understand your diagnosis, treatment options and follow-up care.

I studied Medicine in Cádiz and completed my dermatology specialist training at Virgen Macarena University Hospital in Seville, a centre with a long-standing tradition in dermatological surgery. During this period, I received my cohort’s First Prize for Excellence in Specialist Training and completed my doctoral thesis.

I subsequently trained in Mohs surgery at the Valencian Institute of Oncology (IVO), a national referral centre for this technique. Since then, my work has focused on skin cancer treatment, dermatological surgery and complex surgical reconstruction.

My professional experience includes:

Virgen Macarena University Hospital, Seville: specialist training in Dermatology.
Puerto Real University Hospital, Cádiz: dermatologist.
Jerez Hospital, Cádiz: dermatologist. I performed the first two Mohs surgery cases in the public healthcare system in Cádiz province for the treatment of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
Donostia University Hospital, San Sebastián: dermatologist and clinical supervisor for dermatology residents. I performed the first ten Mohs surgery cases in Gipuzkoa’s public healthcare system and helped establish the Dermatology Day Surgery Unit alongside colleagues.
University of the Basque Country: associate professor of Medicine.
Virgen Macarena University Hospital, Seville: dermatologist and clinical supervisor for residents, working within the Mohs and oncological surgery team and participating in the melanoma and head and neck cancer committees.
Quirónsalud Infanta Luisa and Sagrado Corazón hospitals, Seville: my current private practice, dedicated to Mohs surgery and advanced skin cancer surgery, alongside surgical treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa. These hospitals are the clinical bases of the Andalusian Institute of Mohs Surgery.

Each stage of my career has given me opportunities to learn from colleagues and patients, shaping an approach grounded in careful clinical practice, responsibility and kindness.

Free Mohs Surgery Training for Dermatologists

Teaching is an important part of my work. I train dermatology residents and early-career dermatologists in Mohs surgery, sharing my experience in case assessment, surgical technique and reconstruction.

In keeping with the Hippocratic tradition of passing on medical knowledge, I provide this training free of charge. I see teaching as a way to honour those who taught me and to help more patients benefit from specialist care.

This work builds on my experience as a clinical supervisor and university lecturer. I aim to create a supportive learning environment where colleagues can ask questions, discuss clinical decisions and develop their skills. My formal accreditation as a Mohs surgery trainer is currently in progress.

European Accreditation in Mohs Surgery and Dermato-Oncology

I was the first Mohs surgeon in southern Spain—covering Andalusia, Murcia and Extremadura—to be accredited by the European Society for Mohs Surgery (ESMS), which promotes professional standards and training in this field.

I also hold European Association of Dermato-Oncology (EADO) certification in the use of systemic treatments for skin cancer, complementing my surgical experience and supporting a comprehensive approach to treatment.

For me, these qualifications represent an ongoing commitment to learning and careful clinical practice.

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

Skin Cancer Research and Innovation

I collaborate with the School of Engineering at the University of Seville on the development of software to support skin cancer identification. This work brings together clinical experience and engineering expertise to develop tools that can assist healthcare professionals.

It is an opportunity to learn from other disciplines and contribute practical clinical knowledge to research aimed at improving dermatological care.

You can explore my scientific publications on ResearchGate.

Teaching, Professional Activities and Independence

I regularly speak at national and international courses and conferences organised by societies including AEDV, GEDOC, ESMS and EADV. My main teaching interests are Mohs surgery, surgical anatomy and the reconstruction of complex surgical defects.

These meetings allow me to share experience, learn from other specialists and exchange ideas that inform my clinical work.

You can follow my professional activities, conference contributions and educational posts on LinkedIn.

I maintain complete independence from the pharmaceutical industry. When speaking at scientific events, I do not accept pharmaceutical industry funding, fees or transfers of value.

Professional Recognition

In 2023, 2024 and 2025, I was included in Grupo Joly’s selection of leading doctors in Andalusia.

I am grateful for this recognition and see it as encouragement to keep focusing on what matters most in my work: caring for each patient and earning their trust.
