Misdiagnosed and subject to malpractice suit. Could have treated my cancer sooner. Don’t waste your time.

Doctor Rock is everything and then some. I live in Naples and was Refered to doctor rock due to insurance reasons. I am so glad to be under his care. He is considerate and knowledgeable. He worked with doctor Golosow very closely as she was doing the reconstruction portion due to breast cancer. The two of them went above and beyond to care for me as I’m only 42. Doctor Rock thank you for being kind, knowledgeable and top notch.

During my cancer treatment and surgery,Dr. Rock was one of the most compassionate doctors with whom I have experienced. He knows his business and hasn't forgotten how a cancer patient feels. I would recommend him to anyone!!Although he no longer is with Southern Crescent Breast Specialists, he will long be remembered! My husband and I thank him very very much.

Dr. Rock is a very warm and caring person. His surgical skills are excellent, and I would recommend him to anyone with breast issues. The staff is awesome, and everyone makes a superb effort to reassure patients and keep them informed. The facility is clean, warm, and soothing. Dr. Rock personally responds to calls and also makes time to answer any questions. He keeps current on all cancer treatments and studies. He and Dr. Timbert are the two finest breast cancer doctors on the south side. My surgery results were excellent with minimal discomfort and minimal scarring. He is a patient and caring doctor - truly a unique physician today.

I have nothing but praise for Dr. Rock. He put me at ease when I was nervous about a procedure and he did a wonderful job. He personally called me on two different occasions, which in my experience, doesn't happen anymore and I think that says alot about the character of the man. I would recommend him to anyone.
