Skin Cancer & Dermatology Clinic at AMSD

Anir Dhir, M.D. Tucson's Top Rated Mohs Surgeon

Skin Cancer Screenings & Medical Dermatology

In addition to Mohs surgery, we offer Comprehensive Skin Cancer & Dermatologic Care at AMSD, including skin cancer screenings, biopsies, non-Mohs excisions, curettage, and topical therapy for cancers that may not need Mohs surgery.  These services are provided by Shelby Coplen, PA-C, Taylor Foxworthy, PA-C, and Tabitha Bayne, PA-C:  three highly-trained and experienced Physician Assistants who previously practiced together and then joined our team in 2024-26. Shelby, Taylor, and Tabitha are also experts in the treatment of rashes, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne. Shelby is available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7:30 am to 3:45 pm.  Taylor works on Tuesday to Friday from 7:30 am to 3:45 pm.  Tabitha cares for patients on Tuesday, Wednesday, 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 cancers needing our specialized Mohs surgical services.

Please note that our clinic does not specialize in cosmetic services or disorders of hair and nails.

I know you don't remember me, but you removed a skin cancer from the side of my nose. I jokingly asked you to make me beautiful.  My nose looks wonderful!  You have to look very carefully to see you incision. I am very happy and pleased with my nose. You and your staff treated me with so much care. I really appreciate it. Something that was so scary to me was handled so that I felt reassured and comfortable. Thank you for your care of me.  Affectionately, your patient.

Thank you for the very professional and personal care you and your staff provided me yesterday. No one looks forward to surgery of any kind. But your manner and clarity of explanations help to set me at ease. Your staff was very warm, very caring, yet very professional. They explained each part of the process, leaving no uncertainties in my mind about what to expect next. It was very assuring as we moved through the procedure.
