In addition to Mohs surgery, we offer Comprehensive Skin Cancer & Dermatologic Care at AMSD, including skin cancer screenings, biopsies, and non-Mohs excisions 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.

I want to thank you for the professional way you handled my surgery. In the last ten years, I have had ten surgeries but I have never been treated with more professional, kind, and courteous service as I received from you and your staff. You took your time to explain all procedures and what I could expect from you. Thanks a million and I wish you continued success in your practice. I'm sure you will be able to make a lot of people happy. Keep up the good work. Your happy patient.
I am very grateful for the care and skill that has eliminated my cancer. Just as you said, it's been 6 months and there is very, very little marking and no numbness. I am very pleased with the results. Thank you.
You and your staff, Erica, Blanca, and Alicia were so professional and so kind. And your building...well, the design is just excellent. Thanks again!
Thank you for doing a great job on getting cancer off my eyelid and out the corner of my eye. It has healed well! Every one of you in the office treated me well and took good care of me and I really appreciate that. I'm very pleased that my eye is alright and I hope you can see how is has healed. Thank you so very much!
Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion during my surgery visit. I had heard only good things about your office and I was very pleased with the ‘personal’ touch you show your patients.
A very relaxed and comfortable procedure. I was treated in a very kindly and gentle manner which made the whole process very comfortable. I am having a speedy recovery showing good care and a successful procedure.
