Waited an hour for our 5 minute visit. Did get all my questions and concerns answered. Need better scheduling. At discharge from hospital, had 3 hour hold up do paper delay by EmergeOrtho doctor sign off on release
Absolutely the best physician I’ve ever had the pleasure of being treated by…
Dr. Hocker seemed uncaring today for my 1 year visit. He stated he did what needed to be done(surgery wise) but another surgeon and I will have to figure out my other issues.
Straight forward, explains the risks and rewards well. States what is possible. I like him.
Personable, caring, and experienced!!!! Great follow-up.
Love him, he's so kind to my mom. She's not one to complain; however, I know she's in a lot if pain. The knee injections help her so much, and he's so precise when administering them. I'm so glad he's now her doctor.
Dr Hocker is the best doctor. Great job on my knee replacement. Hopefully the second one will go just as easy.
Very patient with me!
Excellent
Professional and straight to the point. Highly recommend.
