A dermatologist and even some primary doctors will check the mole to see if it just a mole/ skin tag or if it could be something else. Usually if it is just a mole- it can be cut off in the office, and usually the mole is sent to a lab to make sure that it isn't anything else.
The only time we (surgeons) see "moles" is when there is a question of something below the surface- cancer, lipoma, etc. that needs a larger incision and then suturing of the skin together. Even these are often a quick procedure (come in the morning- an hour to get it done- and then leave another hour later), but it all depends on what it looks like.
You have nothing to worry about.

If you go to a dermatologist, they do it in their office. But they will probably give you a full body exam where they look over your entire body for moles that are too dark or any skin cancer warning sings, then they'll schedule a removal date.
