They are very professional - Verified patient

Dr. Janet Hocko presented herself as very knowledgeable and professional. She was/is appropriately concerned, but I would have liked to see her demonstrate a measure of 'warmth' in interaction with patients. In initial visit, she covered a vast amount of information, but was 'distanced', recited from memory, but did not engage with patient. - Verified patient

Dr. Hocko was very nice, professional and thorough. She explained in detail about my condition, treatment available, possible complications and prognosis. She listened and answered my questions and did not rush during my first appointment. - Verified patient
