Dr. Shockley has been my doctor for years. His bedside manner is second to none. He has a way of sharing information without going over your head, or scaring you. I needed surgery on my ankle, and I wanted him to do the surgery. He told me that I needed a foot/ankle ortho surgeon for my condition, and declined to do my surgery. Obviously, he's not money-hungry, or else he would have done my surgery. He does what's best for his patients, and he does it with competence, and the utmost respect. I want him to be my ortho, ob/gyn, and my shrink lol! Any way you slice it, he is AMAZING.

I visited Dr. Shockley for osteoarthritis. I called to make an appointment and was able to be seen the next day. I arrived 45 minutes early and didn't have to wait long at all. The staff was courteous and polite. Dr. Shockley was very friendly and personable. He seems like a very kind doctor. He made me feel very much at ease. I was given all the information I needed regarding my condition and my prescriptions were ready when I got home. I highly recommend Dr. Shockley.

He has the best bedside manor of anyone I have seen. He cares about his patients well being and explains the issues and options. If I need surgery I can't think of anyone I would trust more.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shockley's for over 20 years. I have never even considered changing doctors, and never will. I feel that I have the "Cream of the Crop" in Dr. Shockley. From broken bones to sprains, I have always received the same dedicated treatment, with the same sincere concern from Dr. Shockley and his staff. You would think that after 20 years I might detect a slight decline in enthusiasm in helping people. But the is the farthest from what I have actually seen. He seems even more caring and enthused about helping everyone from the smallest child to the eldest patient. I and grateful to have Dr. Thomas Shockley in the medical field.
