Dr. Bockoven was amazing - he is extremely thorough, informative, and kind. He took time to ensure we understood the information being conveyed. He also welcomed any questions we had and encouraged us to reach out should we have any questions or concerns at a later time.

We are so very pleased with the services provided on today. The medical tech was so very caring and friendly. The NP was very knowledgeable and thorough She spent great time completely understanding our case with care. Dr. Bockoven was so kind, professional and a pleasure to have met. He made us feel at ease and explained all factors related to our child's visit and for that we are truly grateful! Merry Christmas and happy safe holidays. God Bless your practice.

The amount of time we waited was absolutely uncalled for. We arrived at the facility around 9:35, check-in was fast and only waited for 10-15 minutes before the nurse called us back. The nurse took us back and did my son's EKG and then took us to an exam room were we waited from 9:52 till 10:50 before the Dr came in to see us. The Dr took his time examining my son and answering our questions, we did not feel rushed at all. He determined he wanted him to wear a 24hr monitor. We waited an additional 35 minutes before the nurse came back in to put the monitor on our son. We arrived at 9:35 and left the office around 11:45. Completely unacceptable!!!!! Communication between Dr and Nurse needs to improve!!!!!


Nov 14, 2024

I've been going to that doctor's office for years and the staff are always friendly. They go out of their way to help their patients. Appreciate all the staff that works there they do a phenomenal job!
