He was wonderful- very factual and honest with me about what was expected. The wait time- not so good. We were waiting for over an hour in the waiting room. His nurse was extremely busy but she was calm and very patient and I wish I had her name so I could compliment her on how well she was doing on such a busy day!

Diagnosed my issues and referred me to the correct specialist since it ended up being outside of my shoulder and outside of his area of practice

Dr. Hocker is very straightforward which I like, giving me options for my hip pain and answered all my questions. He seems very knowledgeable about the issues I have been having and especially with my past surgery from my previous doctors before we moved to NC.

Dr. Hocker is a no nonsense doctor. He has taken care of me for over 10 years. My treatments and surgeries have all had great outcomes. He has a great personality and highly recommend him.

Dr. Hocker is an excellent physician from the moment he walks in the door to the implementation of my injection. I have been to 4 doctors within Emerge Ortho and not one of them was as kind, caring and attentive as Dr. Hocker.
