Dr. Shocket listened and took notes and recommended some tests that other providers have not recommended, but he took a month to respond to me about treatment after receiving test results. Although a good doctor, he needs to be more responsive to patient messages. It is hard to get a hold of him.

Dr. Shocket was very informative and answered all my questions about issues I have experienced recently. He explained potential treatment options, should they be needed, going forward. He also answered my questions about the possibility of developing additional medical challenges as a result of longterm illness (with my condition). Dr. Shocket also ordered labs for me, and provided meaningful follow up, via the patient portal, when the results were available 2 days later. I would recommend him to any and every one.
