In addition to Mohs surgery, we offer Comprehensive Skin Cancer & Dermatologic Care at AMSD, including skin cancer screenings, biopsies, and non-Mohs excisions 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.

Thank you so much for the wonderful care you and your staff gave me. The removal of my skin cancer was a breeze. I appreciated the straightforward information and genuine care. I hope dealing with my insurance is not too big of a headache for your staff. I am thankful they were willing to go an extra mile to get my visits approved. If I am lucky, my employer will realize you are the best choice for their dermatology services. That way, I can continue to have the excellent care you give.
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I'm very pleased with the outcome and appreciative of your superb skill as a surgeon.
People like you make the world a brighter place! Everyone that I've met at your office has been so very nice and kind. I just want you to know that I sincerely appreciate all of you! Thank you so very much.
Obviously, every detail has been addressed in the design of your facility...richly enhanced by VERY skilled hands & friendly faces! Happy to say, the surgical site is healing beautifully...beyond expectations. I recommend your practice at every opportunity.
I wish to thank the staff for being so nice, kind, and patient with me. All were just great!
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.
Thank you all for your care and expertise during our recent skin surgeries. Everything was really appreciated for our speedy recoveries.
AT is doing fine. I just wanted to thank you for all your kindness. You were super in my eyes. We will never forget you all. God Bless you all.
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.
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.
