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.

Just a quick note to express my sincere gratitude to you and the rest of your staff for the attention I was shown during my last surgical visit. It is not in my genetic makeup to make a practice of writing these types of letters, but the compassion, enthusiasm, reassurance, and medical expertise shown by you and your staff more than warrant it.
Just want you to know how pleased I was with the exceptional care received. Never in my 84 years have I felt so comfortable in a medical setting!
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 just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all you've done for me. Since my birthmark is gone, I feel like a new person. I can't stop looking at myself. You and your staff have been so wonderful to me. I just wanted to let you know how much it means to me to have gotten to know all of you. Thanks.
I would like to thank you and your staff for the wonderful care I received in having my nose growth removed. I appreciate how quickly you were able to see me and your expert care.
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.
Special thanks for performing surgery on my face recently . I appreciate all the discipline, experience, and education you have invested over the years in order to become an excellent surgeon. You are really serving the public well and saving lives as you go. Congratulations to you and your fine firm.
