In addition to Mohs surgery, we offer Comprehensive Skin Cancer & Dermatologic Care at AMSD, including skin cancer screenings, biopsies, and non-Mohs excisions, curettage, and topical therapy for cancers that may not need Mohs surgery. These services are provided by Shelby Coplen, PA-C, a highly-trained and experienced Physician Assistant who joined our team in 2024. Shelby is also an expert in the treatment of rashes, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne. She is available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7:30 am to 3:45 pm. Please call us at (520) 612-7722 to schedule an appointment. We look forward to taking excellent care of you.
If you already have an established relationship with a trusted dermatologist, we are happy to address just the cancers needing our specialized Mohs surgical services.

Your concern, compassion, and confidence helped get me through some trying times. You and your professional staff were fantastic. All I can say is Thanks!! You guys are a class act!!
Thank you so much for your care & skills & kindness.
Fred so enjoyed visiting with you. He thought you all were pretty spectacular.
Thank you all for your care and expertise during our recent skin surgeries. Everything was really appreciated for our speedy recoveries.
I feel that my surgery experience was much more pleasant than I had expected because of your expertise along with your gentle, caring nature. You can't know how much that unexpected phone call meant to me. Comments from family and friends have been that they cannot believe that it has been only a week since the surgery when they saw my forehead. I think they consider you a magician, too!! I hope I never need this type of surgery again but will not be concerned. Thank you.
While it's never fun to have surgery, the staff at Arizona Mohs Surgery make it the best possible experience. I hope that I'm forever cancer free but if I have to have more surgery, thanks to your team, I won't go into it with fear and trepidation.
Thank you Dr. Dhir for taking good care of me. I am healing nicely! You are a great surgeon. So kind and thoughtful. I highly recommend you to anyone and your staff.
I want to thank you for your kindness during my surgery! You and your staff are the best!
