Does not have time to talk to the patient during scheduled appointments, call back about serious concerns, or even reach out if the patient passes away. Stay away.

Very poor bedside manners! Simply rude! Very disappointed! This is a place where you think you will be treated with comfort and compassion at a very difficult time in your life. Unfortunately that wasn’t demonstrated by Dr. Bochner . He was impatient, cold and very apprehensive!

I thank God for sending me to Dr Bochner. Skill, personality and staff can't be beat. His group made a major surgery a good experience.

He is an exceptional doctor. I cant believe you could ever find a doctor who cares about you as much as Dr Bouchner..
