James Komorous, MD, PS

Fabulous dermatologist! would recommend him to anyone!

Knowledgeable with a good, attentive manner. I really liked him and would go back… but he’s become so popular the wait is two months!

Good bedside manner but sadly misdiagnosed my folliculitis with molluscum. Froze all my lesions which obviously didnt help. Now I have to deal with folliculitis plus the scars left from the cryosurgery. Unfortunately he’s very dated with his knowledge

Take a look at that user photo. I’m pale — think Casper and go a shade whiter. As a kid I got a lot of sunburns because my mother was convinced I’d develop a ‘base tan’ that would ‘protect me from skin cancer.’ Melanoma, by the way, which my father, mother, and mother’s father all had. So, we’ve got a whole raft of problematic issues and I’m reaching that age where folks start developing random moles, spots, and other skin issues, so it seemed a good time for a full-​body check. (Good thing, too, the doc confirmed with skin like mine I should be coming in at least once a year for checks.)
After poking around at reviews, I settled on this office, since they seemed the least likely to scam me or try and sell me on plastic surgery of some kind. I called to set an appointment and found that there was a cancellation for the same week and I was able to get right in. I was told that if that cancellation hadn’t been available, I would have waited several months and learned at my appointment that they only book out three months in advance, hence the docked star.
My appointment was fast, friendly, and informative. No muss, no fuss; I didn’t have to hang out longer than I needed to mostly-​naked with a paper blanket and I didn’t have to sit around and wait for any period of time to be seen. I was called back while i was still signing my privacy policy notice and the doc came in (and had to come right back) before I was able to slip my shoes off! All of my questions were answered and I didn’t feel rushed but I was back home within the hour. Some existing skin issues I was aware of (and had been previously diagnosed) were called out, since they didn’t really have me provide a history, so they were definitely looking and paying attention. (Folks with large tattoos rejoice: the doc said that they were able to see what they needed to, even with the ink, and the only comment I received about said large tattoo was that it was «beautiful.» This is not what I have heard from other doctors.)
I’ll be back next year, I’ll just be sure to mark my calendar to call three months before I want an appointment.

Based on my trusty Unilocalers, I made an appointment with this office a couple weeks ago. The Dr was very busy, so I ended up scheduling with Angela. She was fantastic, quick to see me, friendly, thorough, and informative. This will definitely be my spot for skincare needs.

Such a great office. I was fortunate enough to see Dr Komorous when I was young and now how lucky I have him around when my children need him.

I had an appointment today with Angela, Dr. Komorous’ PA. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that I will not meet him until the end of September, and will change it if necessary at that time. She is deserving of the 5 stars herself though. Everyone in the office is so friendly, and Angela was patient, interested, thorough, and knowledgeable, that I felt very confident about my appointment. They also worked me in quickly, even though it was my own fault that I had put off the appointment too long. I could not say good enough things about everyone I met in this office.

Dr Komorous is the best there is for skin health in the Tacoma area. He’s everything you want a doctor to be; knowledgeable, kind, experienced and he respects your time! He is punctual and will have you in and out right on schedule. I went in to just make sure all looked well with my skin and have a few areas from past sunburns checked out. He was able to look at something carefully for about 10 seconds and declare it ok, or worrisome. He did a head to toe check and while I was in and out in half an hour, he was very thorough. The one catch: he’s popular so it’s about a two month wait to get in! But the do have a wait list for appointment cancellations while you’re waiting for our appointment to come around.

I would give him way more then 5 stars if I could… Dr Komorous is an amazing Dr… I have really bad psoriasis for years and I have seen 100s of doctors over the years and no one I have ever met was half as interested in trying to make me feel better… I moved away from Tacoma a few years ago and it broke my heart to leave the office there… Dr. Komorous and his whole staff are the most amazing people I have ever dealt with… I dont know where he finds these amazing people but more offices should take lessons from him… Thank you Dr…

What a great doctor! My first visit with him and he took care of multiple concerns. No return visits for an extra office call expense – how refreshing. Very knowledgeable and I thought he had a wonderful personality; he was friendly and honest! The office staff was also friendly while being efficient. Great team!
