"By far the best experience I have ever encountered in a medical facility. Dr. Hocker was professional, very personable, and thorough in all aspects. All the staff treated me with respect and kindness at all times. I could easily recommend this facility to my family and closest friends. And everyone else. A truly positive remarkable experience."

"Any diagnosis that includes the “c” word is scary. In that moment you need a partner who understands the battle you’re up against and the weapons necessary to fight. Advanced Dermatologic Surgery successfully brings both together in a winning combination to help you win that battle... I cannot endorse this team more highly. As they said after my procedure, “You walked in today with cancer - and leaving cancer free!” I can’t think of a greater outcome or a better experience."
