Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

An effective physician
Dr. Hoch correctly interpreted my shoulder X-ray and, after five months of pain, administered a steroid shot which has allowed me to sleep throughout the night rather than wake up and out ice on my arm. Dr. Hoch got it!

Straight to the point. No frills, but is kind, answers questions, explains best options, and his treatments have been successful. He will see you quickly. I take my 90 yr. old Mom to him. She loves him too.

Dr. Hock was very direct and to the point. Made me feel at ease with my knee situation and confident in my expected recovery time.

Dr. Hock and his nurse seemed to be on a timer. The Nurse was angry with me for showing up and being a work related injury. He questioned me as to why my claim was not entered into they're system as if I had something to do with it? He then wanted to know why I'd had the injury the day before and was just being seen the next day. Never letting me explain. As if this was bad enough Doctor Hock had a similiar reaction to me. I asked questions he a few answers. I did not seem to be worth his time!
