  • Great people

  • Dr. Schocket was CLEAR, responsive, and took affirmative action to get me what I needed. This is my chance to thank her- the appointment was unscheduled. I am a professor at the law school. I was under watch for a retinal tear- my central vision disappeared and I walked one block to the clinic without calling. No one seemed irritated, thought I'm sure they had the right to be. Dr. S's differential and explanation thereof was clear. She called my primary physician. Who does that anymore? I am healthy, and my ONLY regret is that she can't be my primary. Thank you for you expertise and kindness, Dr. Schocket
