My appointment with Dr. Hochman was as pleasant as it was brief during which he painlessly removed a benign skin growth. I recommend him highly.

Staff was welcoming and friendly. Dr. Hochman is patient and a wonderful diagnostician all around. When he did a procedure, he was calming and made sure that it was as painless as possible and that I was comfortable.

This was, by far, the WORST doctor's appointment I have ever had. I highly recommend STAYING AWAY from them. I was pretty surprised by how I was treated in this office. The staff is rude, dissrespectful and obnoxious. They didn't listen to anything I had to say! Whenever I tried to get a word in, they either interrupted me or cut me off before I could finish. Just a warning, they do not adhere to the customer is always right policy no matter what the situation is. They never listen to customers complaints and argue with them instead of trying to correct the situation. That's just bad business. You have been warned, do not go here.

Dr. Hochman is an excellent physician. The office is ship shape, he is very thorough, thoughtful and precise and his medical knowledge superb. A gentleman-physician in everyway. In today's culture of promulgating medical mediocrity, such a rarity is hard to find.
