Skin Cancer Screenings & Medical Dermatology

In addition to Mohs surgery, we offer Comprehensive Skin Cancer & Dermatologic Care at AMSD, including skin cancer screenings, biopsies, non-Mohs excisions, curettage, and topical therapy for cancers that may not need Mohs surgery.  These services are provided by Shelby Coplen, PA-C, Taylor Foxworthy, PA-C, and Tabitha Bayne, PA-C:  three highly-trained and experienced Physician Assistants who previously practiced together and then joined our team in 2024-26. Shelby, Taylor, and Tabitha 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.  Tabitha cares for patients on Tuesday, Wednesday, 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 cancers needing our specialized Mohs surgical services.

My contact with your office with questions about the procedure was greeted with full explanations and a courteous spirit.  Warmth without professionalism leaves one uncertain; professionalism without warmth leaves one uncomfortable. Gladly, you and your staff combined both warmth and professionalism.

Just a brief note to express my satisfaction with the outcome of the surgery thus far. I appreciated you taking time out of your busy schedule to answer my questions. Also, I want to compliment your staff because they're so courteous whenever I call and they're so helpful. I recommended you highly to a friend who is now considering surgery on her face. She sees a doctor at UK but I said she should consider using your services. In short, I'm glad I put my face in your hands.

Your patience, time, and care are greatly appreciated. I am so absolutely pleased with my leg that now each and every day I am able to look at it, and for once, to not be ashamed of the scars that were once there. Thank you so much. I will always be grateful to you.
