Anir Dhir, M.D. Tucson's Top Rated Mohs Surgeon

Skin Cancer Screenings & Medical Dermatology

In addition to Mohs surgery, we offer Comprehensive Skin Cancer & Dermatologic Care at AMSD, including skin cancer screenings, biopsies, and non-Mohs excisions, curettage, and topical therapy for cancers that may not need Mohs surgery.  These services are provided by Shelby Coplen, PA-C, and Taylor Foxworthy, PA-C - two highly-trained and experienced Physician Assistants who joined our team in 2024-25. Shelby and Taylor are also experts in the treatment of rashes, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne. Shelby is available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7:30 am to 3:45 pm.  Taylor works on Tuesday to 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.

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.

I feel that my surgery experience was much more pleasant than I had expected because of your expertise along with your gentle, caring nature. You can't know how much that unexpected phone call meant to me.  Comments from family and friends have been that they cannot believe that it has been only a week since the surgery when they saw my forehead. I think they consider you a magician, too!! I hope I never need this type of surgery again but will not be concerned. Thank you.

I have worked at a hospital for ten years so I have a real insight to health care facilities. The minute I walked in your door for surgery, the better I felt. I would rate my experience with your staff as outstanding. The people who work at your facility are very good at what they do. I was treated by smiling, friendly faces who loved their job and love their patients. The whole staff were very professional but most importantly were very concerned and caring towards me as their patient.

Thank you for taking good care of me. Mohs surgery is difficult. You all made it easier.

I thought I recognized Dr. Dhir and it turns out he had done 2 surgeries on me at HealthySkin in 2017. We meet again thankfully. We also appreciated your air filter system and how cool your office is decorated. Very restful colors.

Dr. Dhir and Dani, can't truly express my appreciation of your skill and wonderful care during my recent Mohs experience.  I so appreciate how I was treated by you both.

I feel like the luckiest person on earth that I was sent to you.  You have the lightest touch while working, but the determination to get things right like a 5 Star General.  You are rare.
