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.

Thank you so much for your care & skills & kindness.
Thank you so much for your excellent surgery. The friendliness of your staff and you made the surgery very easy and relaxed for me, and I do appreciate it.
Just a quick note to express my sincere gratitude to you and the rest of your staff for the attention I was shown during my last surgical visit. It is not in my genetic makeup to make a practice of writing these types of letters, but the compassion, enthusiasm, reassurance, and medical expertise shown by you and your staff more than warrant it.
You pros did a dandy job on my surgery this month: no pain, no bleeding, no scar, no bad news. :-)
AT is doing fine. I just wanted to thank you for all your kindness. You were super in my eyes. We will never forget you all. God Bless you all.
You are all so kind & caring! Thank you, Thank you!
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.
