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.

Dr. Shocket is caring and works with you in your health concerns.

I am super impressed with Dr. Shocket! First off, his bedside matter is very welcoming and collaborative. He sat down and listen to my concerns and expectations for the appointment. He then went through them one by one and provided his guidance and recommendations. After some further discussion I came away with sound plan moving forward, which I've convinced will be very helpful. Given my particular situation, Dr. Shocket had a really good suggestion regarding future colonoscopy testing and how I can more safely accomplished the screening through combination of Cologuard Testing first followed by colonoscopy if necessary. I am extremely preach of Dr. Shocket's care!
