DR Hocker has done two knee replacements and two hip replacements for me. He is always very friendly, and makes you feel very comfortable . He answers all the questions you may have no matter how long it takes. I trust him more than any other DR I have ever had. I have never had any problems with any of my replacements and have exceeded all expectations with each one of them. I always know I’m in good hands with DR Hocker,
