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.

The care that you and your staff showed me when I had my nose surgery was phenomenal!! I have never been to a doctor's office that showed so much compassion for his patient and your staff was fantastic, too!
We are grateful for your gifted surgical skills and thankful for your wonderful compassion.
Not only were the staff very kind and caring, but are a real credit to their profession. I was very impressed with the way they relate to their patients. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything to us. Your staff is very wonderful. You should be very proud of them.
A very relaxed and comfortable procedure. I was treated in a very kindly and gentle manner which made the whole process very comfortable. I am having a speedy recovery showing good care and a successful procedure.
We both want to thank you and your "cohorts"-not only for the surgery well done-but the sensitivity and thoughtfulness you provided. Thank you.
You are truly a miracle worker! Thank you so very much for taking such good care of GW. We appreciate all of you so much.
Your husband is a super surgeon! Also a super person! The entire office is very super! My experience there has been wonderful. I appreciate all the knowledge and friendly atmosphere.
When it comes to being a great doctor, you more than fill the prescription. I'm so very fortunate to have you for my dermatologist.
Thank you so much for your excellent medical care, and the special kindness given to us by the office staff.
