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.

While it's never fun to have surgery, the staff at Arizona Mohs Surgery make it the best possible experience. I hope that I'm forever cancer free but if I have to have more surgery, thanks to your team, I won't go into it with fear and trepidation.
I wanted to say thank you to you & your staff for the successful removal of the BCC from my forehead. The wound healed nicely & is not noticeable. I appreciated how you shared in advance the details on how you perform Mohs surgery. I enjoyed you sharing your interest in sports cars and racing.
We just wanted to say thank you - not only for your professionalism and expert care - but for your compassion. I've never been blessed with a more competent physician and as you know, we've seen our share. There will be a special place in heaven for you but just know for now that there are people that owe your their life - but you already have our hearts! Bless you Doc! We love you!
Thank you so much for your excellent medical care, and the special kindness given to us by the office staff.
We had a very positive experience at AZ Mohs Surgery. From Nathalie & good directions, kind eyes Lindsay’s reception, to beautiful Blanca’s good natured pre surgery banter and Dr. Dhir’s surgery – all went well and we appreciated our very fine treatment.
Thank you so much for taking such personal care of me. I appreciate all the consideration I was given, the organization, and the promptness of my treatment and your checking on me.
Dr. Dhir, you have a special gift that I'm blessed to have been a recipient of, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do and I hope you'll be around a long time to share that gift.
Thank you for being so great when I was there!
I wanted to thank you and your staff for taking such good care of me when I visited the surgery center. I was happy to be treated so kindly and really appreciate that your nurses went out of their way to make me comfortable and help accommodate me with my modesty / religious preferences. Thank you.
