Dr Dockery knows my medical history and has done an amazing job getting me feeling back to myself. He is always kind and knowledgeable. He has good best side manner and makes me feel seen and heard when I talk to home about my concerns. He’s a 10/10 in my book

Dr. Dockery was everything I have heard about him over the years. He was professional on time and extremely knowledgeable. He made sure I understood the information he was telling me without being condescending. I was given options and allowed to choose what I felt was right for me.

Best ortho doctor I have ever seen. Extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He told me 10 years ago that when I started to have the problems I am having now to call him first and I am so glad I remembered that as I just assumed surgery was in my near future. That word was never used by Dr. Dockery. I recommend him highly!

First appointment and it went well. Dr was very nice, took his time to explain things to me and discussed possible solutions. I’m nervous but excited because I am finally getting help.

Dr. Dockery took the time to go over my concerns with my back and explained it where I could understand. Told me exactly his plan for going forward. I was very impressed with his concern for my health.

I was there for two hours before I saw the doctor. This happened another time, too. Otherwise, Dr. Dockery is a great doctor.

I'm an established patient with Dr. Dockery. Wait time was around 30 minutes for my follow up appointment. Dr. Dockery listened well as I described my pain. He was not hurried. Offered treatment plan to further manage my pain.
