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.

Thank you for taking patience with me and my hard of hearing problem. I also like your manner of "doctor to patient" attitude. I appreciate all you did and your patience with me. I know it's hard to talk to a person 88 years old and particularly nearly deaf but both me and my daughter appreciate your patience and service. If I have a problem, I'll see you and know it will be taken care of.

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.

I wanted to take this opportunity this opportunity to thank you all for taking care of me before, during, and after my Mohs surgery.  The customer service, compassion, and kindness of every single staff member was absolutely stellar and you should be incredibly proud of your dedication to the patient!

I don't know anyone who says, "I'm so happy I'm going to the doctor today". However, your staff did an excellent job of making me very comfortable. I know I'm not the only patient and your call was appreciated. It brought back memories of my childhood and our family doctor. You are a good doctor and I would recommend your facility to anyone. I spent a lot of time with your staff and they support you with kindness and compassion.  You made it an experience I can remember with fondness.

We had a very positive experience at AZ Mohs Surgery. From Nathalie & good directions, kind eyes Lindsay’s reception, to beautiful Blanca’s good natured pre surgery banter and Dr. Dhir’s surgery – all went well and we appreciated our very fine treatment.

Three days have passed since your removal of the cancer from my face.  The pain from the surgery has been light and tolerable.  There has been no need for pills to relieve this pain.  There are no signs of bleeding or of swelling.  You mentioned the danger to a nerve which controls the mouth, had the cancer not been removed.  The body is wonderfully made!  It has never occurred to me that there is a mechanism which enables us to open our mouths.

I appreciate your generosity in allowing me to observe you at work.  This was very educational, and now I feel I can properly inform patients about the expected experience when undergoing Mohs surgery.  It is clear to me what an elegant, accurate, and effective method to excising skin cancers.  I am impressed with the way your clinic is run.  The nurses and staff are very professional and responsive to the patients which I’m sure they appreciate.  I hope to see you in the future!
