I want to thank Amanda Wall, your receptionist. Her smile and attention to detail upon entering your office was reassuring. She sparked genuine conversation and made my husband and I feel welcome/at ease. Great front office staff, you could tell the employees all had a good relationship and love their jobs.

Everyone who works in this office is amazing. Everyone is very genuine and truly cares about the patients. I would highly recommend anyone who has skin cancer to get it treated here. Both doctors here do amazing work!

Everyone was so kind and so professional. I was able to get in right away and have the surgery completed. I was made to feel comfortable right away. I got complete instructions on aftercare. Overall it was a very good experience and I would highly recommend Advanced Dermatologic Surgery.

Scheduling with Kristin F. was much more than just giving me a day/time. She walked me through the procedure, answered all my questions (and I had a lot!), and made me much more comfortable with what to expect. I cant thank her enough!

Everyone was so friendly, and at ease. Dr Tarantino explained the procedure and took the time to answer all my questions. He did an awesome job! His team, Rick and Shawn were wonderful and made sure I was comfortable and made sure I understood the instructions for the next week.

The chemistry amongst the staff was palpable and made the process enjoyable!. Rick and Lauren were 2 outstanding nurses, which truly does make the difference. Thank you. Staff in lobby treated my friend with courteousness that she was impressed with as well. Only constructive feedback I noticed is without knocking prior to entering the room with patient, it was quite startling. Let’s try to calm those nerves for the new-comer :)

This was the most pleasant medical experience Ive ever had. All employees seemed to enjoy their job and got along. You could tell that they liked each other and liked what they did. You could tell that the doctor encouraged a great relationship.

I was nervous about the surgery this morning but the nurses and dr. Tarentino calmed me down and explained what he is going to do helped get thru the surgery fine. The nurses explained everything they are going to do which helped me what to expect next. My experience at the clinic was a good one. Aija Brown

My doctor was Dr. Tarantin. He was professional, explained everything very patiently, was responsive to my questions and requests. I felt that I got the best treatment possible. I wish all my doctors were nice and professional as he was! The lady at the front desk was less patient. Since it is my first time I hope it is just a bad day. The other office persons were nice and welcoming.

I am thrilled with my results after Moh’s surgery on my nose. It is always frightening to hear cancer, and surgery, and face in the same diagnosis. The staff were attentive, prompt, professional, and caring. Dr. Hocker was reassuring and kept me informed every step of the way. They answered every question and were always available for a call or question between appointments. I would recommend wholeheartedly.

Dr. Tarantino is great. As a new patient who has been avoiding seeing a dermatologist, Dr. Tarantino has been fantastic. Very thorough, thoughtful, and really listened to all of my concerns. Not only would I recommend him to everyone, my mother has already been to see him as well. Couldn’t have found a better doctor. Thanks.

Dr. Tarantino and his staff were wonderful from the moment I walked in the door. After finding out I had cancer on my cheek, I had never been more shaken up, but I knew it had to be taken of ASAP. Dr. Tarantino was so personable, thorough and thoughtful! Surgery on your face is never something you want to hear, but I was so incredibly comfortable the entire time with him and his staff. He explained everything he was going to do and why. He triple checked everything and I even remember him redoing a stitch because it was “too tight” and he wanted to make sure I heal as best as I can — how amazing! I am so happy I was recommended to him and his team. I know I can call them anytime to get support though this whole journey. I hope I don’t have to ever go back, but if I do, I know where to go! Thank you so much Dr. Tarantino!!!!

Dr. Tarantino and the entire staff at Advance Dermatologic Surgery were amazing. Everyone was professional and were glad to answer all of my questions. The reason for my visit was a serious matter but I felt very comfortable during the entire process. The appearance of the repaired area on my nose and face far exceeded my expectations. Im currently two weeks out from the surgery and I know in a few months it will hardly be noticeable. I would highly recommend Dr. Tarantino and the ADS staff.

Review №41

It’s a frightening thought to have cancer surgery at any age.  From my first call to ADS, Candace was incredibly helpful along with the empatheic ability to communicate.  Amanda in the first surgery procedure was so kind and gentle, along with Brigid during the surgical closure who was so personable. The internal culture comes from the top filtering through all the employees - Dr. Hooker, I thank you for exhibiting an environment where patients are made to feel so comfortable and I appreciate the experience and a greater awareness of the process. Thank you and your whole team for the service youre providing.  I hope anyone in the future finds comfort in choosing your surgical center knowing they’re in good hands.

The office was highly organized and Dr Tarantino did a fantastic job removing the 2 carcinomas from my neck. This wasnt my first dermatological procedure, but it was the most complicated procedure, and it was excellent. I highly recommend Dr Isadore Tarantino and Advanced Dermatology in Leawood KS.

Review №46

I feel blessed to have found Dr. Tarantino. His office staff are friendly and competent and seem to be quite happy with what they do. My estimation is that Dr. Tarantino helps set the standard with the kind way his patients and staff are treated. The atmosphere in his offices are respectful and ones in which the care of the patient is paramount. Dr. Tarantino graduated with top honors and could have pursued any number of specialties. He chooses to labor where he can make the most impact to enable health and preserve life.

I had a wonderful experience with ADS. The staff was professional, but kind and gave me their full attention while I was there. Dr. Hocker has a true gift and did an amazing job on my surgery. I loved having nurse Loren specifically. She made sure I always knew what was happening and what to expect going forward. I would 100% return to both Loren and Dr. Hocker in the future.

ADS provided such a safe and comfortable environment for my grandfather when he had surgery to have a skin cancer removed. Staff member Abby was particularly wonderful and kind. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Would recommend her (and this office) to anyone!

Review №66

I brought my elderly father-in-law in to have a skin cancer diagnosed/removed. I judge a doctor’s office not only by how much confidence I have in the doctor but also by the treatment of the entire staff. Once we got there, the receptionists were very welcoming and helpful. When we went back into a room, an assistant named Abby came in to prepare my father-in-law for his procedure. He was very nervous and she put him at ease right away, answering any questions he had. During the entire time we were there, everyone was very professional and cared about my father-in-law’s well-being. I would definitely recommend Advanced Dermatologic to all my friends. And considering how nervous my father-in-law was beforehand, kudos to Abby for taking the time to make the experience easier and not as scary as it could’ve been. She should be the standard by which all doctors’ office staff should aspire in dealing with patients.
