Skin Cancer & Dermatology Clinic at AMSD

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, non-Mohs excisions, curettage, and topical therapy for cancers that may not need Mohs surgery.  These services are provided by Shelby Coplen, PA-C, Taylor Foxworthy, PA-C, and Tabitha Bayne, PA-C:  three highly-trained and experienced Physician Assistants who previously practiced together and then joined our team in 2024-26. Shelby, Taylor, and Tabitha 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.  Tabitha cares for patients on Tuesday, Wednesday, 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 cancers needing our specialized Mohs surgical services.

Please note that our clinic does not specialize in cosmetic services or disorders of hair and nails.

Looking back on 2003, my family and I have faced many stressful and trying times traveling back and forth from doctor's office to office.  We are very fortunate to have such a caring doctor along with staff who are always willing to help in anyway possible. Thank you and your staff for not giving up and traveling down this long, hard road with me. You have always been straight up and honest with me and had my best interest in mind, not many doctors are like that and take things as personal.

Thank you for allowing me to observe your surgeries and 'talking shop' through the procedures for my benefit. Your sincere concern for your patients' comfort, as exhibited by your extraordinary bedside manner, truly sets a new, higher level for me to strive toward. I will strive for the highest mark, and I appreciate your example and training.

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.

Wanted to say thank you for what you did on my behalf.  I could see why you were voted one of the Best Doctors.  You're kind, considerate, thoughtful, and make your patients comfortable.
