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.

Thank you so much for your excellent medical care, and the special kindness given to us by the office staff.
All I can is - Wow! I know some nice doctors and offices, but you and yours in beyond compare. From the minute you arrive, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of TOTAL care.
Thank you very much for everything you done for me. Also thanks too to your staff for everything they did. Without you all removing my skin cancer for me with the ways things are I don't know what I would have done. Thank you.
I would like to thank Dr. Dhir who is as good as it gets in giving patient care. In this day and time when health care is criticized for various reasons, it is very refreshing to have an organization such as yours doing it the right way. Since my experience with your people, I feel very good about health care and will let others know that you are not only dedicated to your craft but are also dedicated to your patients. Thank you again for making this a very pleasant experience.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and compassion from the moment we met. I am very fortunate to have you as my Doctor and Surgeon.
I just wanted to let you know how much your kindness touched my heart. Thank you!
The concern and compassion shown during my surgery will be forever appreciated.
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.
Dr. Dhir, I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Your skills, as well as that ever-important bedside manner are unparalleled. Thank you all again!
