They take a sample and examine it under a microscope here on site. Hopefully all will go well. I have another spot on my shoulder that will also be removed at a later date. Has anyone here undergone a Mohs procedure?

I have had moh of that procedure than I would like to admit.
You will have daily maintenance on the wound site that is important to keep up with. The doctor should clearly explain what that entails. And if you are not already, you will need to be extra careful with sun exposure. Periodic (e.g., semi-annual) visits to a dermatologist should also be in your future plans. They will be able to catch potentially cancerous sites and treat them much simpler than via a mohs procedure.
