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.

Your patience, time, and care are greatly appreciated. I am so absolutely pleased with my leg that now each and every day I am able to look at it, and for once, to not be ashamed of the scars that were once there. Thank you so much. I will always be grateful to you.

I just wanted to thank you for taking such good care of my mother through two separate procedures. You have a kind and calming manner that is very rare today in the medical field, especially with the elderly, the ones that need it the most. And it is very much appreciated. Thank you again. May God bless you and your family.

Thank you so very much for taking such exceptional care of me. I was quite nervous being on the other side of the surgery. You completely put my mind at ease.

I guess that is what makes your so special. And for all the phone calls you have made, checking on me after surgeries, that means the world to me. I just hope you and your staff realize how special you are to me and my family. Without you, this journey might not have lasted this long. Thanks for everything in helping me fight this disease.

Thank you for allowing me to observe your surgeries and 'talking shop' through the procedures for my benefit. Your sincere concern for your patients' comfort, as exhibited by your extraordinary bedside manner, truly sets a new, higher level for me to strive toward. I will strive for the highest mark, and I appreciate your example and training.

I just wanted to thank you for your call Friday after my neck surgery. I greatly appreciate your concern. Even though skin cancer is considered to have a high cure rate, it is upsetting to find out that you have any kind of cancer. You and your wonderful staff have made a difficult situation easier to understand and cope with.
