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, and Taylor Foxworthy, PA-C - two highly-trained and experienced Physician Assistants who joined our team in 2024-25. Shelby and Taylor 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. 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 your superb professionalism, kindness, and huge heart. You made my experience through the Mohs Surgery bearable, you explained in detail what to expect, and you calmed my racing heart. It took 3 attempts to achieve clear margins and while I was waiting, the staff was nothing but excellent, caring, and reassuring. You have an A Class Facility.
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 Dermabrasion. My nose looks 100% better. You are the BEST doctor I know, and Theresa you are by far the best nurse I ever seen. Thank you for being so thoughtful and making me feel special. I just can't say enough about you two. Thank you.
I have been reflecting on the minor basal cell surgery that you performed on me yesterday. I am extremely pleased with the professionalism and expertise of you and your staff, and the quality of your facilities. I will gladly recommend you and your facility to my family and friends. Again, thank you for helping me to feel comfortable and reassured during the stressful time.
I want to let you know what a wonderful staff I think you have! From the girls at the desk to your nurses. They made my first visit a pleasure. Thanks again.
Dr. Dhir, Erika, & Lindsay, The surgery site on my forehead healed quickly, with no aches, pain, or scarring. You did great. :-) Your "fun" attitude makes my visits a breeze. Thanks Much!!
I feel like the luckiest person on earth that I was sent to you. You have the lightest touch while working, but the determination to get things right like a 5 Star General. You are rare.
Everyone was very nice to me. I would recommend the Surgery Center to anyone.
Doctor, thank you for being so kind and so good at your work.
