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.

You are truly exceptional. As for your staff, I am most appreciative of their care also. They welcomed me, treated me splendidly and kept me in an excellent state of mind. I had no questions that they couldn't answer and their conduct built confidence in me. Kudos to your entire organization.
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.
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 just wanted to thank you for your call Friday after my neck surgery. I greatly appreciate your concern. Even though skin cancer is considered to have a high cure rate, it is upsetting to find out that you have any kind of cancer. You and your wonderful staff have made a difficult situation easier to understand and cope with.
Thank you for taking good care of me. Mohs surgery is difficult. You all made it easier.
We so appreciate the care & kindness you have given us. We have told many friends about your wonderful staff & to have that large of staff & everyone being so awesome - amazing!
I appreciate your generosity in allowing me to observe you at work. This was very educational, and now I feel I can properly inform patients about the expected experience when undergoing Mohs surgery. It is clear to me what an elegant, accurate, and effective method to excising skin cancers. I am impressed with the way your clinic is run. The nurses and staff are very professional and responsive to the patients which I’m sure they appreciate. I hope to see you in the future!
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!
Thank you so much for your excellent surgery. The friendliness of your staff and you made the surgery very easy and relaxed for me, and I do appreciate it.
