Quality, Experience, and Compassion
Dr. Anir Dhir was born in Detroit to immigrant parents from Germany and India. After graduating with a B.S. in Biomedical & Electrical Engineering with honors from the University of Texas at Austin, he attended Baylor College of Medicine, where he was inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha - the medical honor society. He completed his Dermatology residency at Emory University in Atlanta and then pursued a fellowship in Mohs surgery and facial reconstruction in Birmingham, Alabama with world-renowned Gary Monheit, MD – a Tucson native and Past President of the American College of Mohs Surgery, American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, and American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.
From 1999 to 2015, Dr. Dhir was a partner with Dermatology Associates of Kentucky in Lexington. He was the busiest Mohs surgeon in Kentucky, and performed over 29,000 Mohs surgeries with a cure rate of over 99.5% and an infection rate of 0.2%. He served as the Medical Director of the only Medicare- and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center (ASC) ever built in Kentucky dedicated to dermatologic surgery. In 2003, Dr. Dhir was first elected to Best Doctors in America by his colleagues - an honor awarded to the Top 4% of U.S. Physicians. He is also a Castle Connolly Top Doctor - a recognition given to only 7% of all U.S. board-certified physicians. Dr. Dhir has authored several publications and served as faculty at numerous national scientific meetings. He has been interviewed as a dermatologic expert on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and in publications such as Newsweek. Dr. Dhir was first board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology in 1998 and has been a Fellow in the American College of Mohs Surgery since 1999.
After raising their children, Dr. Dhir’s love of the Southwest and recognition of Tucson’s skin cancer epidemic led him and Nathalie to relocate to Tucson in 2017. Dr. Dhir practiced with HealthySkin Dermatology for 3 years before opening Arizona Mohs Surgery in 2020. In Tucson, he and his team have performed nearly 11,000 Mohs surgeries. His goal is to use his significant Mohs surgical and ASC management experience to deliver compassionate, ASC-level surgical care in a less expensive, more comfortable office setting.

Thank you for all your kind service, your happy smiles and care. Enjoy the sweets that are as sweet as all of you.
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.
Everyone was very nice to me. I would recommend the Surgery Center to anyone.
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.
I felt compelled to write you based on my superior care. There is not a 'health grade' that is high enough to describe your caring of me. I have had some excellent care in Tucson but your efforts are over the top of the others.
A young lady at the entrance greeted me in such a friendly manner that the expression on her face, her posture, and her words caught my attention. The instructions are also striking: "you may bathe", "please try to stop smoking", "we would prefer", "please perform a few days", "please be patient as you heal." And finally, "We wish you a speedy recovery." These instructions come from doctors and nurses who are authorities in dermatology. Yet, they are delightfully modest.
I just wanted to drop you all a note to say thanks for the treatment I received in your office this week. I was very pleasantly surprised to have everything run as smooth as it did. Also, the follow-up call that evening was appreciated. You all are to be commended on your professionalism and concern.
Thank you so very much for taking incredible care of my dad. I really appreciate it. I can't thank you enough for all you have done.
