Dr. Stephen Squires
ButtonHarvard Trained, Triple-Board-Certified
Thomas L.H. Hocker, MD is recognized as one of the leaders in the field of Dermatology, skin cancer, and advanced reconstructive surgery. He is the author of the best-selling Dermatology textbook, Review of Dermatology, and is one of fewer than 10 Dermatologists in the USA who is ACMS fellowship trained and Triple-Board-Certified (Dermatology, Dermatopathology, and Mohs and Reconstructive surgery) through the American Board of Dermatology.
He is frequently an invited lecturer at national Dermatology meetings and skin cancer conferences. He has served as President of both the
Kansas City Dermatology Society and the
Kansas Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery Society. In addition to his role at ADS, Dr. Hocker is the Surgical Director at the UMKC/University Health Department of Dermatology.
My favorite part about serving others is the feeling I get when someone comes to me with a challenge, question, or even curiosity, and I can offer clarity or direction that genuinely helps them move forward. This is the most rewarding part of the interaction. This job provides numerous opportunities and chances to do so!

I want to make a difficult time easier for patients. Whether that means making them smile or laugh, comforting them with a touch on the shoulder, or being an ear for them to voice their concerns and frustrations. I love being a calm and warm presence for our patients during a very
uncomfortable, challenging, scary, and painful time in their lives.
