Dr. Shocket is the best but It's unfortunate that he has stepped back. This used to be a great place, but not any more. Too bad there is not enough room here to vent my frustration over what has happened the last two months here. I'm going to another Pain Management Dr. because the patient care is not the same. It's a real shame.

Dr Schocket is absolutely the smartest, confident and compassionate pain doctor I have met in my 14 years of pain. However, on this date, the front desk staff was very rude to me. I was in tears until I realized that she was not only rude to me, but to others in line after me. Then I was angry that this staff member could treat patients like trash, even if she was "having a bad day". I have never felt so demoralized. Dr Schocket, you rock like a ROCKET!
“Excellent doctor”

I have been involved with CPI since early 2008. They have always been aggressively on the leading edge of pain reduction and management techniques. Dr. Schocket has built a team of like-minded, skilled colleagues that has allowed CPI to grow yet remain connected to individual patient needs. They are always looking for the best practice management administrative procedures to do everything they can to make processes and paperwork as painless as possible. I trust them greatly and they trust their patients. The end result is better quality of life for all.

I just received lumbar injections, which he explained completely so I would have full understanding of what was going to be done. After the treatment my lumbar spine felt better than it had in 15 years. My experience each time I have come to Dr. Schocket's office has been a positive one and his staff are also kind and professional in their treatment of their patients.

Dr. Schocket did such a great job. I love the facility, the nurses, James who found a vein on my difficult arm, and I was under for the procedure, and awake in 30 minutes and heading home. I look forward to having trigger shots in my lower back.
