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, 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 for your kind and professional care!
Thank you so much! Sorry I cried. I get hormonal sometimes! You all were great and I appreciate everything you did for me!
You have been absolutely wonderful during this surgery. Thanks so much for your genuine concern and kindness. All of us have been so impressed with your medical expertise, as well as your sincere (and almost forgotten) love for your profession and your patients. You truly are the epitome of a great physician—one to be highly recommended, respected, and recognized. Thanks so much for a job well done and for treating your patients as people, not simply a paycheck.
Thank you for your kindness. I wish I could put into words what your thoughtfulness means to us. I am so amazed at the things you have done for my husband and myself that you didn't have to do. It is very greatly appreciated.
Just wanted to send you a little note of thanks for being so kind and thoughtful when I had my minor surgery on Friday. It was so nice of you to call me after the surgery to see how I was feeling. I don't think I have ever had a doctor do that and it made me feel good. Thanks again.
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.
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.
I am truly blessed to have you in my life. Thank you so much for your special attention.
Thank you for sharing with our Young-At-Heart group. We gained much knowledge from your informative presentation. Your enthusiasm and individual attention will stay with us a long time. The ladies are using the cream and they are praising it highly. Thanks again for giving your time to talk to us.
Thanks for the advice you gave me to have the mole removed. I am thankful to God for the knowledge he has given you to know how to help people! Thanks again.
