Skin Cancer Screenings & Medical Dermatology

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.

Thank you very much for everything you done for me. Also thanks too to your staff for everything they did. Without you all removing my skin cancer for me with the ways things are I don't know what I would have done.  Thank you.

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.

Your kindness and professionalism, as well as that of your staff, was very much appreciated. As a healthcare worker, I take pride in treating my patients like I myself would like to be treated. It is quite evident that you each do that for your patients, too. Such admirable qualities are hard to find. Thank you for the excellent care that you gave my mother. I will never forget your kindness and the kindness of everyone who also helped care for her.

Words can never convey the depth of our gratitude in the treatment of our mother. Going the extra mile with follow-up phone calls and the prayers were greatly appreciated to relieve our fears and concerns. The kindness and compassion that was shown to her and even to us was so deeply felt. Thank you and your staff for everything.

I am very grateful for the care and skill that has eliminated my cancer. Just as you said, it's been 6 months and there is very, very little marking and no numbness. I am very pleased with the results. Thank you.

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.
