Dr. John Brock III, MD

Dr. Brock has taken care of my daughter for almost 16 years. He sets the standard for excellence, demanding the best of himself and those around him… including his patients and their parents. He empowers parents by educating them on the importance and outcomes of tough love and consistency (or the lack thereof) in our daily routines. As a mother, I value his innate tendency toward perfectionism because it translates to excellence in care. As a professional, I respect his doctor-patient demeanor because that emotional boundary creates a clean space for him to focus on the facts when he’s evaluating, from the lens of the surgeon, my daughter’s case (and only hers) in the moment. As an educator and lifelong learner, I value that he takes the time to teach my daughter about her own body, her condition, and her care. I’ve lost count of the many lessons he’s drawn on paper bed sheets to teach her the “how”s and “why”s. Being the best at what he does is how he shows he cares.

This is one of the rudest physicians I have ever encountered in my life. He has a poor bedside manner and made my family incredibly uncomfortable. At one point, we overheard him berating someone in the hallway. I hope to god I am never on the receiving end of that. Professionalism - terrible. Complete lack of empathy. Try any other option you can rather than Dr. Brock.
