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. 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 the cancers needing our specialized Mohs surgical services.

It is a miracle to look at Gordon and not see the large, red, and very irritating sores that were there. Dr. Dhir did the surgeries…I thank God and Dr. Dhir and his assistants for their most patient, kind, and loving treatment of Gordon. He is a special person and I know God has helped us to get this far with his recovery from a most dramatic period in his life.
Thank you for an extremely competent experience.
Your concern, compassion, and confidence helped get me through some trying times. You and your professional staff were fantastic. All I can say is Thanks!! You guys are a class act!!
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.
Thank you for the wonderful care you provided for me in the past weeks. I so appreciate you and value your friendship of the many past years. You are truly a great professional who's caring and skills is beyond compare.
Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion during my surgery visit. I had heard only good things about your office and I was very pleased with the ‘personal’ touch you show your patients.
To you, my dear Dr. Dhir - your presence exudes experience and competence. You have an incredible gift of being personable (no more than that - charming), real, yet focused with an incredible work ethic.
You have been absolutely wonderful during this surgery. Thanks so much for your genuine concern and kindness. All of us have been so impressed with your medical expertise, as well as your sincere (and almost forgotten) love for your profession and your patients. You truly are the epitome of a great physician—one to be highly recommended, respected, and recognized. Thanks so much for a job well done and for treating your patients as people, not simply a paycheck.
