Our Story

Old School Surgeon, New School Knowledge

A Modern Practice with a Personal Touch

As modern medicine has become more impersonal and rushed, many of us miss the days when physicians and staff took the time to provide kinder, higher quality, and more individualized care.

Dr. Dhir and his wife of 27 years, Nathalie Dhir, BSN, created Arizona Mohs Surgery & Dermatology to provide the best of both worlds: top-quality, experienced surgical & dermatologic care in a personable, attentive, cost-effective setting.

Arizona Mohs Surgery & Dermatology's team has worked together for many years, and is committed to compassionate care and the pursuit of excellence. We pride ourselves on attention to detail.  Our dedicated staff looks forward to treating you with the same kindness, respect, and concern that we would extend to our own family and friends.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Dhir and Nathalie enjoy physical fitness and cooking, and spend as much time as possible with their two grown children, Joshua and Emilie, who both live in New York City. Dr. Dhir has also pursued an amateur career in automotive racing, and Nathalie has produced an award-winning feature film, Burning Kentucky.

Shelby Coplen, PA-C joined our experienced team in 2024.  Shelby has practiced medical dermatology in Tucson since 2018.  She is an expert in skin cancer screenings, non-surgical treatment of skin cancer, and treatment of rashes, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne.

Our facility was constructed using the highest quality, "Made-in-the-USA" components and local Tucson talent wherever possible. Over 94% of our building materials, furnishings, fixtures, and equipment is manufactured in the United States, with some surgical instruments and our Zeiss microscope sourced from Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Other than our Apple iMacs and iPads, very few items were sourced from China and only when no other viable option was available. We would like to acknowledge the outstanding work done on our behalf by local businesses such as Eglin & Bresler Architects, Venture West Construction, Goodmans Interior Structures, National Bank of Arizona, Desert Lab Studio, AV Specialists, Stat Computer Services, Illuminations, Millwork by Design, Achilles, Aztec Flooring, Effective Signs, Hall Custom Painting, and Creative Printers. Many of these companies went the extra mile to achieve our Made-in-America goal.

Arizona Mohs Surgery & Dermatology demonstrates its commitment to community and country via support of several nonprofits, including Arizona Heroes Memorial, Los Charros Foundation (FFA and 4H), Therapeutic Riding of Tucson, the Jewish Community Center's Garden of Hope, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Camp Valor Outdoors, Wreaths Across America, and Angel Charity.

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.

Just wanted to say thanks, even though very late, for the excellent procedure you did on my face (left side).  It is practically invisible.

The care that you and your staff showed me when I had my nose surgery was phenomenal. I have never been to a doctor’s office that showed so much compassion for his patient and your staff was fantastic, too!

Thank you for the opportunity to spend time in your practice learning about Mohs surgery and more particularly the art of reconstruction. I sincerely appreciate that you tailored your teaching to my future plans. You are the only professor to have done that so far. This week has given me a great deal of insight into future standards for appropriate skin cancer treatment and management. I look forward to a day when I will be honored to call you a colleague.
