David is honest and open about treatment options. His dr/patient manner is the very best. He is so empathic and kind. COG is so lucky to have him.

Had my total knee replacement on Sept 13, 2022. He came in after surgery and explained why we were so long in getting it done because of previous procedure done elsewhere failed to get the job done right. He was visiting with me just as I was preparing to leave and that meant a great deal. He cares and it shows!!

Dr. Hockman is kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable, had a full knee replacement six months ago. I’ve battled more swelling than I’d like, but would recommend him and his team in a heartbeat. They’re top-notch professionals.

Today was my 6 wks post op of total rt knee replacement. Dr Hockman is such a friendly, compassionate, professional and all around a nice person. I would highly recommend him for this type of surgery. I would also like to say his nurse, Sarah, go above and beyond to take care of everything else post surgery, from refills to referrals for PT and Insurance paper work promptly and efficiently. I really appreciated all that they do.

I am incredibly pleased with the knee replacement surgery Dr. Hockman did. He is a great surgeon! He is very personable, always answering my questions in lay terms, so my husband & I understand. He took all the time we needed to explain the procedure & recovery processes. Thank you Dr. Hockman!
