Dr. Shockley isn't just a great doctor, he actually cares about his patients unlike many pain doctors I have seen. He takes time to sit down and listen to your problems and tries to help you in any way he can. He feels like a member of my family. His staff are wonderful too.

Dr Schokley has great bedside manner and takes the time to listen to ones concerns. He seems to be more knowledgeable than some of the specialist that I will not be seeing anymore. My only complaints are that the waiting room is extremely small and uncomfortable and on my last visit I waited two hours to see the good doctor.

Verified patient
One of best Doctors out there
I've had a pretty rough year, I have no one to bring me to appointments,.. I. Can only make it in for my appointment on the 15th if I can get my appointment changed to the first appointment, when doors open. My ride has late to work for bringing me in, we got there 1/2 hour early. Then we had to wait two hours to be seen. He was almost fired... I need to know if this change could be made for my appointment on the 15th. Please, I do need to see you. Thank You, Cat
Verified patient
Simply wonderful??
Verified patient
The only complaint I have about my visit is the waiting room is entirely too small. Patients are coming here because they are in pain and when you are in pain you don't want to have to stand because there are no seats in the waiting room.
After this visit, I believe a lot of miscommucations created bigger and more problematical miscommucations within family members.
Verified patient
I felt he took time to understand how much pain I have been in and how my back condition was affected by the accident where I was Rearended in my work van while I was sitting at a red light.
Verified patient
I was very pleased with the service I received from Dr. Shockley and his staff. The staff was very professional and Dr. Shockley took time to examine me and answered questions about my condition. The appointment was not rushed. He was very thorough.
I like all of his office workers, However, He needs to talk with his staff about OVER SCHUDULING! They need to NOT OVER SCHUDULE HIM! So that his patients Don't Have To WAIT FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR! Because Some of us, CAN'T STAND WHILE WAITING TO SEE HIM! Thank you! Sincerely, One of Dr.Shockley's Pain Patients!
Verified patient

ENCOURAGING & HOPEFULL
Verified patient
Very caring and concerned doctor! He not only treats your symptoms but strives to find the underlying cause(s) or pathology...to possibly correct, relieve, cure, and regenerate.
Verified patient
Redundant
Verified patient
He is great but the receptionist should let people know when they call in that the doctor is running behind so they can delay their time from coming to preventt the over crowding and get the receptionist to sign you in so that everyone keeps on schedule
Verified patient
Very long wait time every time. Small waiting room without enough chairs and they are uncomfortable. Every time I saw him I was beyond irritated by the time I was actually seen. Life is too short to sit around waiting forever for a doctor to see you.
dr Shockley looks out for your benefit and will try to make sure that he keeps you out of pain and to see how he can prevent it or will try to solve it regardless what Workmen's Comp. is doing
Verified patient

Dr.Shockley is the best provider I have ever had.He is very professional, courteous and very caring. I would highly recommend him for your medical needs.
Verified patient
I think Dr. Shockley is a kind, caring Dr. that does want to just manage your medication management, but also cares about how to fix the problem. He also has a wonderful bedside manner.
I have been seeing Dr. Shockley for 6 years now. He is 1 of the best doctors I have been a patient of. I unfortunately have a lot of nerve problems and Dr. Shockley is still there by my side working to find a way to reverse the damage. I have found, through looking for another doctor closer to home, that I am actually very grateful for the patience, kindness, and happiness of Dr. Shockley. I would recco him for a family member. He's a smart, nice, genuine, happy individual which helps with the pain I am in:-(
